The owners, consultants and contractors struggle to coordinate adequately in massive construction projects whose success could be explain in terms of time, cost, quality and satisfaction. However, coordination factors are crucial in securing the successful accomplishment of all stages of the project. In this study, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology uses to indicate factors that lack of coordination badly affects the success of infrastructural projects. A conceptual model was developed for the evaluation of project success. The model comprises of two key latent factors. An empirical analysis to test the conceptual model was carried out through the questionnaire survey. The data collected from 246 building experts who were employed in the construction sector in Pakistan. The findings of the analysis showed that the model   value was 0.625 which indicated that the lack of coordination had a main influence on project success. The communication-related factors (beta 0.246) have a greater effect on project success, based on the overall form of the model. The conceptual model GOF was calculated as 0.642 which showed the conceptual model validity and reliability, and the data matches correctly. The current study applies PLS-SEM which is previously missing in the literature; this provides additional insights to the array of knowledge in the construction industry that leads project managers to understand the lack of coordination and its impact on project success.

Introduction The construction industry, which is backbone of Pakistan‟s economy, always has economic and social impact in society. The construction industry is an important sector of the Pakistani economy which Accepted Jan 11,2021 Published Jan 15,2021 * Corresponding Author: Azhar Ali aliazhar@mail.dlut.edu.cn DOI :https://doi.org/10.5281 /zenodo.4443028 Pages: 64-83 Funding: The research work was supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Liaoning Provence under Grant no 2019- MS-052 Distributed under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 Copyright: © The Author(s) How to cite this article (APA): Azhar.
