| Abstract [eng] |
This master thesis aims at developing and empirically establishing an elaborate model of application of Green Project Management (GPM) techniques in a bid to incorporate environmental, social, and economic sustainability in the management of construction projects in Bangladesh. Key research Methodology: The study is based on a quantitative research design. The construction professionals, who were targeted by the use of structured questionnaires to collect primary data, included project managers, engineers, architects, and sustainability officers. The data were analyzed using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using the MS Excel and SmartPLS software. The thesis is divided in 3 major sections: Chapter one will give a theoretical foundation on a sustainable project management based on Triple Bottom Line views, literature analysis, models, frameworks, and findings of the case study on sustainability in the construction industry. The second chapter explains the research methodology and it consists of the research design, conceptual framework, methods of data collection, measurement of variables, and the methods of analysis. The third chapter presents and explains the results of the analysis, empirical, and recommendations on how sustainable integration can be enhanced in the Bangladesh construction project management practices. More so, the paper shows that Green Project Management is relevant in the mediation effect between the sustainability and the project success, which means that sustainability initiatives generate more successful outcomes of project implementation where they are systematically incorporated in project planning, performance processes, monitoring, and controlling. According to the report, these barriers are the primary ones; they include high costs of implementation, inadequate technological capacity, lack of institutional enforcement, and ignorance among small contractors. The paper goes on to posit that sustainability needs to be incorporated in the construction project management so that long term project success, climate resilience, and equitable development of Bangladesh can be realized. The results of this study are still in print. |
