Abstract

The objective of the study was “An assessment of critical factors affecting quality performance of government financed construction projects: a case of Morogoro Municipality”. Justification of the study was based on the fact that construction projects spend large amount of government funds that can only be justified by delivering the project in time, at a given budget and at specified quality standard. Descriptive as well as multiple linear regression methods were used in the study involving a sample of 80 respondents dealing with construction related works. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20. The findings revealed that the critical quality performance that have direct impact on quality performance of construction projects hence it can be seen that there exist relatively small significant correlations between independent variables (various critical performance factors) and the dependent variable (project quality performance). The correlations are significant at0.01 and 0.05 confidence levels on a two tailed Kendall’s tau correlation test.The finding also revealed challenges faced by contractors that deter quality performance of construction projects in Morogoro Municipality. The study recommends that these six critical factors and the contractor’s challenges need to be well thought-out at planning stage of projects, hence ensuring quality performance of the government financed construction projects.
