| dc.description.abstract | Stakeholder management encompasses coming out with the various types of stakeholders, collecting their details, defining their purposes in a project, assessing their strength and weaknesses, identifying strategies, forecasting their behavior and developing and implementing a strategy for managing these stakeholders. Stakeholder management has an effect on the reputation of a project. However, there are numerous challenges that affect the effective management of stakeholders in the construction industry. Therefore, the aim of the study was to explore the challenges associated with the management of stakeholders in the Ayensuano District Assembly. With this aim, three objectives were established which were to identify the challenges associated with effective stakeholder management in in the Ayensuano District Assembly, to identify the causes of the challenges related with effective stakeholder management in the Ayensuano District Assembly and to identify the strategies for improving effective stakeholder management in the Ayensuano District Assembly. In order the achieve the aim and objectives of the study, the quantitative research method was adopted. Structured questionnaire was developed based on the findings of the extensive literature review. The questionnaire was distributed to thirty-two (32) construction firms who have worked with the Ayensuano district assembly since 2012. Therefore, using the census sampling technique, thirty-two (32) questionnaires were distributed and twenty-seven (27) were retrieved for analysis forming a response rate of 84.37%. The respondent rated their responses using the five-point Likert scale and their ratings were ranked using the Relative Importance Index (RII) formula. The analyzed data revealed that, unidentified stakeholders were the most severe challenge of stakeholder management. Also, the most significant cause of the challenges associated with stakeholder management was unsupportive top management Lastly, the most significant strategy to improve stakeholder management was acknowledging the relevant concerns of stakeholders. From the findings of the study it was recommended that, construction firms should acknowledge the relevant concerns of stakeholders in order to bring them on board with regards to the objectives of the construction project. Some of the limitations to the research were that, the study was limited to the Ayensuano district only. Therefore, the outcome of the study is practical only to district assemblies of similar characteristics. Also, this study was limited to only internal stakeholders and lastly, this study was limited to construction firms. | en_US |
