Conflict management of construction projects – a case study Kuwait International Airport Cargo City

Exchanges within the construction teams have been often found to be argumentative, conflict and crisis ridden, and as a result individual worker in the industry are exposed to extreme hostility. These conflicts result from disagreements about ways of solving spot site-related problems, insufficien...

TA190 Management of engineering works Exchanges within the construction teams have been often found to be argumentative, conflict and crisis ridden, and as a result individual worker in the industry are exposed to extreme hostility. These conflicts result from disagreements about ways of solving spot site-related problems, insufficient planning, ill-prepared contract documents,and the lack of coordination between the contracting parties.

Quantitative design has been used in combination with a cross-sectional questionnaire directed at conflict management of construction projects at the Kuwait international airport. A total of 188 questionnaires have been distributed, out of which 14 were lost, and 11 of them have not been answered. Responses of 163 participants were recorded and analyzed through the use of the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS).

The conflict management strategy of construction project was found to have a positive effect on the performance of the workers in construction projects with Beta Coefficient = 0.904;indicating that for one-unit increase in conflict management strategy, the performance of construction projects in Kuwait International Airport Cargo City would increase by 0.904 unit.
