- Description
- Abstract: Risk management implementation (RMI) in construction projects is often affected by several obstacles which can endanger the achievement of project objectives. Regrettably, there is a paucity of empirical studies investigating these obstacles in the South African construction industry (SACI), especially in the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) sector. Hence, the current study sought to investigate the major obstacles hindering the IRMP at project level of SMEs. A structured questionnaire consisting of eighteen factors was used to collect data from SMEs who were conveniently sampled. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23, computing descriptive statistics. The results indicated that: unsupportive organisation culture, lack of qualified personnel and inadequate training were the major obstacles hindering the IRMP. The results of the study could provide professionals in the CI with information on factors that hinder the IRMP in construction projects of SMEs. This will enable construction SMEs to conscientiously incorporate RM in their professional work and that would result in better project performance.
