| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to examine the impact of project distress on construction project performance, with a focus on the case of Flintstone Engineering. There is a need for more in-depth research that examines the unique challenges and opportunities facing the Ethiopian construction industry and the role of government policies and regulations in shaping the industry. Additionally, there is a need for more studies that investigate the effectiveness of specific mitigation strategies in the Ethiopian context. The objectives of this study are to identify causes of project distress on construction projects and to develop strategies for minimizing the effect of project distress. This study also aims to investigate the effect of project distress on construction projects performance. To achieve these objectives, the study adopts a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative). Both quantitative and qualitative survey tools were used to collect the data from respondents. The survey was distributed among 78 employees, including project managers, estimators, engineers, and supervisors, Out of the total respondents 66 responses were obtained, accounting to 82 % response rate. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS software. The key findings of the study indicate that project distress has a significant negative effect on project performance. However, effective project management practices, risk management, and stakeholder management practices can mitigate this effect and improve project performance. The study emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to prevent project distress and effective mitigation strategies to reduce the likelihood of project distress and improve project performance. This research provides valuable insights for project managers and other stakeholders in the construction industry and offers recommendations for future research in this area | |
