摘要：Abstract—This study analyzes the results of a survey that aimed at assessing the critical success factors for public sector construction projects in Owerri, Imo State of Nigeria. The effects of the identified critical success factors on public sector construction project delivery were also examined. Data on the study variables were collected via structured questionnaires from fifty six (56) professionals within construction firms located in Owerri, Imo State using the Krejcie and Morgan Method of sampling. Respondents for the study were approached personally to elicit information from using questionnaires and interviews. Various statistical tools such as reliability test using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling accuracy and Barlett test of sphericity were used in determining the accuracy of the method, while factor analysis and linear multiple regression were applied in data analysis and inference using SPSS software. The exploratory factor analysis highlights a specific set of six (6) critical success factors after subjecting sixteen (16) of the initial variables to factor analysis.The six (6) critical success factors include; efficient and effective procurement process/method, effective communication management, adequate planning, leadership skills of the project manager, weather conditions, and effective coordination of project activities. The results of the findings after subjecting the six (6) identified critical success factors to regression revealed that adequate planning had a significant impact on the success of public sector construction projects, while the remaining five (5) factors did not explain any significant variance in the success of public sector construction project delivery. The findings from this study contributes to the public sector construction project critical success factors literature by conceptualizing more on leadership skills of the project manager, effective management of communication and most importantly the provision of adequate planning in terms of schedule, and cost as a multidimensional construct for public sector construction projects success.
