Abstract
There are many challenges associated with the construction processes of planning
and scheduling. These challenges are relevant to all project parties or stakeholders and
therefore management roles or organisational behaviours of those parties have to be
properly considered and assessed. With this in mind, this study is aimed at assessing
practitioners' perspectives on the current significance and applicability of a set of criteria or
factors concerned with management roles and organisational behaviours of the different
parties based on construction projects in Oman. The study has adopted a quantitative
approach in which a questionnaire-based survey was chosen and conducted to gather
responses from construction projects in Oman. A total of 67 valid responses were analysed
based on the rankings and means of the respondents' perspectives on the significance and
applicability of the identified factors to current practice. The overall findings indicated that
all investigated factors should be critically considered as equally important to the
development process of planning and scheduling. Nevertheless, the findings implied that a
management priority should be given to the most important factors significantly affecting
project planning and scheduling. The study provides some useful recommendations on how
to improve project management roles and organisational behaviours in planning and
scheduling on the part of key project parties.
