Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a maturity model developed to assess knowledge sharing (KS) for the Jordanian construction sector. Design/methodology/approach The research was conducted in three stages. The first stage consisted of the review of literature and documenting variables from the literature that highlight influence on KS in organizations. The second stage was designed for maturity model development by identifying the cultural factors that affect KS in the Jordanian construction sector through questionnaires and interviews. Factor analysis was used to find possible re

Abstract:

The use of supply chain management in industry has been quite successful, particularly in the industrial sector. In today ’s marketplace, Jordanian construction firms must compete not only with local but also with international companies; therefore, the use of supply chain management is critical to improving efficiency and increasing competitive advantage. A survey was conducted in this study to investigate the main obstacles for adopting supply chain management to the Jordanian construction sector.

Abstract:

The construction industry in Jordan is pivotal to its economic growth but faces substantial challenges, particularly extended project cycles that result in delays, cost overruns, and reputational damage. This study investigates the impact of project cycle dimensions—Planning and Change Management—on project performance within the Jordanian construction sector. Utilizing the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory, the research highlights the strategic importance of internal resources like skilled project managers and effective management practices.

Abstract:

Construction companies are faced with the need to innovatively integrate the construction process and address project development challenges. One way of doing that is the integration of building information modelling (BIM) in the building design and development cycles. However, due to the lack of clear understanding and the absence of a holistic implementation guideline, many companies are unable to fully achieve BIM potentials or implement BIM in their project and building lifecycle. BIM implementation is increasingly challenging in the Jordanian construction industry. Research demonstrates t

Abstract:

Many developing countries subsidise energy (petroleum fuel products, natural gas and electricity), which was reflected in an extra pressure on the national budget, and this will support inefficient use of energy. In this study, the effects of electrical energy subsidies on the total electrical energy consumption in the residential sector were examined. Data on more than 260,000 Jordanian ordinary customers were collected, and the energy consumption of more than 1000 energy-extra subsidised Irbid District Electricity Distribution Company (IDECO) staff members was recorded over a 2-year period (

Abstract:

Despite the enormous efforts put into practice by governmental entities, most of the energy consumption worldwide proceeds from fossil fuels. In this regard, there is a clear need to advance toward the use of cleaner energies. This situation is especially critical in developing countries, where a high population, increased commercial and industrial activities, and rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are major concerns. This paper focuses on reviewing the current energy map in Jordan, one of the developing countries in the Southwest Asia area. Jordan generates 2.7 million tons of municipal so

Purpose The aim of this paper is to study and evaluate the situation of different affordable housing projects with an eye toward developing a new affordable and sustainable housing model in the hot-arid climate of Jordan. There is a clear interest in providing affordable housing, yet sustainable and environmental issues are highly marginalized. To bridge this gap, and to meet Jordanian housing needs while tackling environmental problems, this research has analyzed the environmental issues of selected housing projects in Jordan, aiming to determine the existing problems.

The significance of water harvesting in Wadi Hammad basin lies in the fact that the Jordanian government encourages the cultivation of vegetables, wheat, and barley in the country in an effort to improve food security in Jordan and create job opportunities for young people in the agricultural sector. Water harvesting in this basin will augment the water resources used for plant production and livestock watering by flash floods that involve large quantities of runoff. This study aimed to identify the best locations for water harvesting in the Wadi Hammad basin in Jordan via a Multi-Criterion De

This paper tackles this issue for the first time using a sample of Jordanian companies. We explore the effect of two types of motives on the level of engagement in CSR: extrinsic motive (financial) and intrinsic motives (ethical and altruistic). The relationship between the company’s actual financial performance and CSR is also investigated. Primary dat
