Abstract

Pakistan's construction sector is plagued by challenging endeavor environments that require efficient management strategies for success. The present qualitative research looks at how risk management, communication management, organizational culture, and human resource management affect the success of the Pakistani construction industry. This study uses semi-structured interviews with project managers from diverse construction businesses to explore the industry's particular difficulties and tactics. Thematic analysis showed that thorough risk management measures are demonstrated to reduce project interruptions and postponements while successful communication management is vital in preserving transparency and sorting out disagreements. Furthermore, research has shown that a strong organizational culture emphasizing cooperation and shared values improves creativity and teamwork. In addition, strategic HRM methods, such as focused recruiting and developing competencies, assist in coordinating project teams and improving performance. The study provides significant information for Pakistani construction companies seeking to optimize their management processes, as well as laying the framework for subsequent studies on enhancing project accomplishments within emerging countries.
