Influence of Governmental Governance Maturity on Megaproject Performance
Publication: ICCREM 2020: Intelligent Construction and Sustainable Buildings
ABSTRACT
This study aims to develop a model to explain the relationship between the maturity of governmental governance and project performance. To achieve this goal, a conceptual framework of governmental governance maturity and a comprehensive framework of megaproject performance were established based on structured interviews. Then a hypothesis that governmental governance could contribute to megaproject performance was proposed, and was tested by a questionnaire using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results showed how governmental governance maturity influenced megaproject performance. The findings can be used to improve current frameworks for project governance.
