Modeling of Causal Factors of Conflicts in Thai SME Construction Projects
Causal factors of conflicts in Thai SME construction projects were modeled to formulate conflict mitigation strategies. The sample group consisted of 244 construction projects in the northeastern region of Thailand comprising Roi Et, Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham and Kalasin Provinces. Statistical techniques as exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used for modeling the causal factors. Results showed three causal factors of conflicts as (1) pre-construction, (2) during the construction project, and (3) other. The pre-construction conflict factor of construction cost estimation accuracy was the most important, followed by the reasonableness of negotiating. Conflict factors during the construction project consisted of the suitability of construction workers as the most important, followed by disbursement of payments according to the work period. Other conflict factors included appropriateness for allocating work payments as the most important, followed by the appropriateness of documents for construction work. Strategies to reduce conflict in Thai SME construction projects were presented.
