Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the impact of management practices on the productivity of building construction projects in India. The methodol-ogy adopted for this study is to identify and analyse the management practice attributes from the literature review and expert focus group interviews. The identified attrib-utes were analysed and priorities using relative weight were given by the respondents. The collected data were further analysed using SPSS 21 software. The quantitative research methodology was adopted to analyse the col-lected data and the following tools and techniques were applied to the data: reliability analysis to check the con-sistency of data collected for this study and relative impor-tance index (RII) to prioritise and rank the attributes based on the weighted average score given by the respondents. The findings of this study concluded that coordination between all stakeholders, ability to handle the crisis by the project managers, social skills of key team managers, timely payment of completed works and design capabil-ity and frequent design changes are the most significant attributes of management practice, affecting construction productivity and having a rating on the RII of 0.91, 0.90, 0.88, 0.87 and 0.87.
