Relationship between project success and the success factors in public–private partnership projects: A structural equation model

The budgetary pressures, scarcity of resources, and incessant increases in the demand for public services have driven the Malaysian government to involve the private sector in the development of infrastructure through public–private partnership (PPP) projects. Despite the benefits of PPP projects in...

Thus, this study aimed to develop a robust definition of a PPP project success variable, to categorise the CSFs, and to examine the relationship between the CSF categories and the success of the PPP project.

The findings indicated that a PPP project’s success can be measured based on four dimensions: time, cost, objects, quality and stakeholders’ satisfaction.

The quality phenomenon explains that the delivery of quality services satisfies all the stakeholders.
