dc.description.abstract | This study examined the factors affecting the performance of construction projects in Mayuge
Town Council, Mayuge District. The study was guided by three objectives namely, to
establish whether (i) time factors (ii) cost factors (iii) quality factors, respectively affect the
performance of construction projects in Mayuge Town Council. The study took a descriptive
cross-sectional research design where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were
employed involving a sample of 140 respondents selected using the stratified method from the
category of employees selected in Mayuge Town Council that participated in the study by
answering the designed questionnaires. Frequencies and percentages were used to represent
the distribution of the respondents on the different questions. Pearson’s Linear-Correlation
Co-efficient (r) was used to test the level of co-relation between the variables. Regression
analysis was also used to ascertain factors that are significant in predicting the performance of
construction projects. The study findings showed that there was a positive relationship
between the variable; time factors, quality factors while on the cost factors’ variable there was
a negative relationship on the performance on the other side. The researcher therefore
concluded that when each of the variables (i) time factors (ii) cost factors and (iii) quality
factors are enhanced, the performance of construction projects in the Town Council also
improves. The researcher therefore recommended that Government through the Ministry of
Local Government, district administration and stake holders in the Town Council should
ensure that contractors are always availed with motivational costs, resources in time, and be
provided with quality equipments to enhance their job performance in Mayuge Town Council,
Mayuge District. | en_US |
