Abstract

Abstract The Yemeni construction industry has been declining in it progress since early 2011 when the political unrest started, and many projects have been financially suffering and suspended or failed to achieve the primary plans. Disputed has been associated with the declination and in fact dispute in construction industry is a chronic and common issue for all countries. Many construction projects have been delayed or even failed due to dispute, misunderstanding and incongruities among construction parties. Many researchers have viewed this issue from the perspective of unclear contract terms and unclear distributions of responsibilities. However, this study aims to scrutinize the issue from the standpoint of poor and lack of communication among Yemeni construction parties. The study implements qualitative interviews with ten construction experts to share their views and uncover the issue. The method of analysis is based on the transformation of interviewed data into transcriptions and extraction and thematic analysis. The study found that poor communication is a major cause of dispute in the Yemeni construction industry, improper management of communication and its channels as the leading cause of the initial occurrence of dispute. Furthermore, the study found that integration with other success factors can bring about strategies to avoid dispute. The outcomes of this study are very useful in developing initiatives to minimize the issue and insuring successful and organized communication among construction parties which lead to successful project completion.

沟通不畅对建筑业纠纷发生的影响:对也门建筑业的初步探索性研究
自2011年初政治动荡开始以来,也门建筑业的进展一直在下降,许多项目都遭受了财政困难,暂停或未能实现主要计划。争议一直与经济的衰退联系在一起,事实上,建筑行业的争议是世界各国长期存在的共同问题。由于建设方之间的纠纷、误解和不协调,许多建设项目被推迟甚至失败。许多研究者从合同条款不明确和责任分配不明确的角度来看待这一问题。然而,本研究旨在从也门建筑方之间沟通不良和缺乏的角度来审视这个问题。本研究对10位建筑专家进行了定性访谈,以分享他们的观点并揭示问题。分析方法是基于访谈数据转换成转录和提取和专题分析。研究发现,沟通不畅是也门建筑业发生纠纷的主要原因,沟通及其渠道管理不当是最初发生纠纷的主要原因。此外,研究发现,与其他成功因素的整合可以带来避免纠纷的策略。本研究的结果对于制定举措以尽量减少问题,并确保施工方之间成功和有组织的沟通,从而成功完成项目非常有用。
