Abstract

Purpose The phenomenon of delayed payment to contractors, particularly in the construction industry, is a vital one and has implications for the health of economies of both developing and developed countries. However, the knowledge of this phenomenon seems patchy and scattered. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge on the subject matter with directions for future research. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review coupled with a scientometric analysis was used to identify the main strands of delayed payment to contractor research as a basis for qualitative analysis and directions for future investigations. Findings Current trends of delayed payment to contractor research are categorised into five broad themes, namely: causes, effects, mitigation measures, ethical and law and regulatory issues. On the basis of these themes, directions for future research are proffered. Originality/value To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first attempt at providing a comprehensive and an integrated knowledge on delayed payment to contractor research with pointers for further investigation and policy directions.

承包商付款延迟:对当前趋势和未来方向的系统审查
拖延向承包商付款的现象,特别是在建筑业,是一个至关重要的现象,对发展中国家和发达国家的经济健康都有影响。然而,关于这一现象的知识似乎是零散的。本文旨在对该主题的知识进行全面概述,并为未来的研究提供方向。设计/方法/方法采用系统的文献综述和科学计量分析相结合的方法来确定承包商延迟付款研究的主要方面,作为定性分析的基础和未来调查的方向。目前拖欠承包商付款的趋势研究分为五大主题,即:原因、影响、缓解措施、道德和法律以及监管问题。在此基础上,提出了今后的研究方向。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一次尝试提供一个全面的、综合的关于承包商延迟付款研究的知识,并为进一步的调查和政策方向提供指针。
