Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to test and validate a scale for measuring project resilience in the construction sector within the built environment. By identifying relevant indicators and items, the study aims to enhance the resilience of construction projects and minimize losses and failures resulting from disruptive events such as societal, technological, biological and environmental hazards (e.g. Covid-19, war in Ukraine, shortage of resources, etc.). Design/methodology/approach The study uses a quantitative approach, specifically exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, to evaluate the suitability, dimensionality and reliability of the proposed indicators and items for measuring project resilience in the construction sector. Findings The study found that 9 indicators and 34 items were suitable for measuring project resilience in the construction sector, and the proposed model showed good fit for the two dimensions of project resilience, which may have practical implications for project managers in the construction sector within the built environment. Originality/value The study proposes a new scale for measuring project resilience in the construction sector, which is a novel contribution to the field of project management. The study identifies specific indicators and items that are relevant to this industry, which may have practical implications for project managers in this sector. The study also highlights the need for further research to make the project resilience scale more robust and reliable.

衡量建筑业项目抗灾能力的标准
本研究的目的是测试和验证用于衡量建筑环境中建筑行业项目抗灾能力的量表。通过确定相关指标和项目,本研究旨在提高建筑项目的复原力,最大限度地减少社会、技术、生物和环境危害等破坏性事件(如 Covid-19、乌克兰战争、资源短缺等)造成的损失和失败。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定量方法,特别是探索性因子分析和确认性因子分析,来评估用于衡量建筑行业项目复原力的拟议指标和项目的适用性、维度和可靠性。研究结果该研究发现,9 个指标和 34 个项目适合用于衡量建筑行业的项目复原力,所提出的模型对项目复原力的两个维度显示出良好的拟合度,这可能对建筑环境中建筑行业的项目经理具有实际意义。研究确定了与该行业相关的具体指标和项目,这可能会对该行业的项目经理产生实际影响。该研究还强调了进一步研究的必要性,以使项目复原力量表更加稳健可靠。
