Abstract
Delay, cost overrun, dissatisfaction of beneficiaries are some of the problems witnessed in the
40/60 saving and housing development project. The purpose of the study was to determine the
influence of stakeholders’ involvement in the five project management phaseson the performance
of 40/60 saving houses development project in Addis Ababa. The research used quantitative
research design approach.The target populations of the study were 157 contractors, 10
consultants and one client. A sample size of 100 contractors,10 consultants and one client were
used using stratified and random sampling techniques. Descriptive and inferential techniques of
analysis were applied.It wasfound that the mean stakeholders’ involvement level in planning
phase was statistically significantly differentfrom the remaining four phases while the means of
stakeholder’ involvement level in the remaining four phases of the project management process
were not statisticallysignificantly different. Moreover, the involvement level of the three
stakeholders (contractors, consultants and client) was compared and there was a significant
difference in the mean involvement level between client and the other stakeholders in the project
planning phase of the project management. However, no significant difference was found
between contractors’ and consultants’ level of involvement. To determine the influence of the
stakeholders’ involvement on the performance of the 40/60 housing project, a regression analysis
was run.But the result of the analysis could not help one to arrive to the conclusion that any
stakeholders’ involvement in the five project management phases influences/does not influence
the success of 40/60 saving houses development project due to two critical reasons: (1): the
stakeholders were not involved in all the five project management phases. (2): the
performance/success of all sites was found to be poor. The findings in this study will be helpful
for researchers doing similar studies.
