Towards a Framework for Diagnosing the Culture of a Construction Project Organisation
In undertaking research into culture within a construction project organisation, it is important to have a framework that takes account of the construction project context. In developing such a framework, semistructured interviews were conducted with experienced practitioners. Analysis of the interviews revealed that while all project participants play a role in the culture that develops within the project organisation, the main contractor is the principal driver of the culture. Key determinants of culture include leadership, workforce stability and training, commitment, procurement, and other project arrangements. In terms of the manifestations of culture, the main dimensions that practitioners recognise and consider relevant are associated with the five key areas of commitment to client, teamwork, leadership, workforce welfare and delivering improved quality. These are issues consistent with current construction industry thinking. A conceptual framework that links culture with project performance and incorporates all the various elements is presented. The framework provides parameters that can help structure and organise data on cultural orientations along relevant dimensions, and will have some relevance for culture researchers.
