Abstract
Project management is the application of specialized knowledge, abilities, techniques, and methodologies to deliver something of value to people. To measure these applications, terms such as productivity, performance, and efficiency are utilised. In addition, construction is a highly competitive industry that necessitates the enhancement of management-oriented aspects. Thereby, this study focused on identifying the potential management factors that influence construction projects. From the literature, the factors were collected and grouped as organisation system, operational management, management & control, management & limitation, and recruitment & selection. Questionnaire survey was opted as the research method and was completed among the frontline practitioners in the Indian construction industry. As a result, 108 responses were analysed using the frequency tests, reliability tests, and the relative importance index (RII). The findings highlight the importance of resource availability, individual learning, decision making, proper work design, and resource allocation as the most influencing management factors. Moreover, this study provides improved insights for management teams and allows them to focus on the influencing factors that are necessary to execute a project successfully.
