dc.description.abstractThe understanding of projects management practices as an alliance of powerful individuals and interest groups remain as one of the most important issue in construction management practices. This study sought to explore decision-making strategies adopted by construction managers in managing stakeholders on construction projects. Hence the specific objectives included; to identify stakeholder attributes in construction projects; to identify the effects of stakeholder attributes on project delivery; and to identify decision-making strategies adopted by construction managers in managing stakeholders. A total of 65 questionnaires were distributed. Data gathered from the field survey were analyzed using mean score ranking techniques and one sample T-tests. The study revealed that most of respondents encountered the social or economic influences of stakeholders’ claims on the projects more often than the other behaviors. It was revealed that most construction managers selected Influence (Shaping proactively the values and demands of stakeholders; actively sharing information and building relationships with stakeholders) as the most adopted decision-making strategy.en_US
