摘要：Libya is a developing country that suffers from an acute shortage of appropriate infrastructure and buildings. The reconstruction of Libya, especially in the aftermath of the 2011 uprising and the subsequent conflicts, requires applying effective strategies to minimize waste of, and efficiently manage, available resources. It is suggested that the adoption of Value Engineering (VE) may improve efficiency in decision-making. The aim of this paper is to present the process of using the Delphi Method to develop a research instrument suitable for assessing current VE practices as well as the factors that could influence the adoption of VE in the Libyan construction industry. The development of this research instrument has passed through three major refining phases, namely: (i) Back Translation, (ii) Pilot Study and (iii) Delphi Method. By the end of the Delphi study, 12 factors, derived from the literature, have been rated as relevant to the research instrument and considered as factors that could influence the adoption of VE in the Libyan construction industry. These factors are as follows; 1) awareness, 2) knowledge, 3) adhocracy culture, 4) market orientation, 5) transformational leadership style, 6) organizational learning, 7) product innovativeness, 8) process innovativeness, 9) business innovativeness, 10) information technology, 11) government regulations and 12) readiness to adopt VE. This paper may complement the existing body of knowledge on using the Delphi Method to enhance research instrument.
