Prioritization of Human Resource Development Criteria on Success Indicators in Building Projects

Abstract

In terms of purpose, this research is an applied one; and in terms of method, it is a survey one. Given that project success is general, this study attempts to assess key success indicators in building projects through reviewing the related articles and expert interviews, and then identify them by reviewing the related articles and expert opinions on project human resource development criteria. In order for a more accurate evaluation, a separate questionnaire was drawn up for each success indicator, and the developmental impacts were prioritized based on the project success indicators. The first questionnaire was distributed among 52 specialists and the second one among 47 specialists. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS software. Six key success indicators in building projects were obtained from the results and the data analysis showed that human resource development played a positive role in all key success indicators; each criterion, however, had a different level of impact on the indicators.
