Abstract:
Construction projects are complex projects that require effective management, control, and coordination to achieve desired results. This study examines the relationship between project management, process control, and organizational coordination and their impact on construction project performance. By examining these factors, the study aims to provide insights into best practices for managing construction projects and improving their overall performance. Descriptive design was utilized in the study as it describes the relationships and patterns between these variables. This involves examining how effective project management practices, rigorous process control, and effective organizational coordination contribute to overall project performance. A self-designed questionnaire was used as it allowed the researcher to tailor questions to the specific research objectives and the unique characteristics of the respondents. This ensures that the data collected is directly relevant to the research objectives. A total of 400 managerial and non-managerial employees from 50 construction companies in Hubei, Henan and Shandong province were used as respondents of the study. Based on the results, the respondents have moderate agreement on project management as to contract management, information management, and security management and these are all essential for the successful completion of construction projects. The process control of the construction companies in terms of quality control, progress control and cost control were found essential tools to improve the construction project outcomes. Results demonstrated that organizational coordination, which encompasses personnel coordination, material coordination, and fund coordination, are indispensable for the achievement of successful construction projects. There are significant relationships between project management, process control and organizational coordination. Finally, a construction project performance framework was developed for construction companies.
