The result of the test of sample adequacy is as presented in Table 1.
The KMO was 0.711 (which was above the commonly recommended value of
0.6) with the Bartlett’s test of sphericity as significant
(χ2 = 2691.854, df 1225, p < 0.05). This is
an indication that factor analysis was deemed to be suitable with all
the 50 items of cultural orientation (CO). The factor loadings of each
statement of CO are as shown in Table 3. From the Table, all the items
have a factor loading value greater than .5 (which is the minimum
acceptable value for each item as implied by 70 Samuels (2017). Overall,
the rotated component matrix indicates sufficient loading on eight
components described thus. The highly loaded factors on component 1 are
six (6) as follows: good working relationship with subcontractors
(0.747), emphasising client’s interest (0.731), coordination and
assistance is encouraged (0.685), accountability for the quality of work
done (0.672), satisfying the need of client (0.669) and amicable
resolutions of challenges (0.606). These factors have a common theme
(Client interest); this component is thus termed Client service
orientation. The 2nd component loadings are 4 and
include availability of sophisticated ICT tools, (0.812), automation of
site production activities (0.761), computerisation of construction
activities (0.757), and practicing seamless communication. (0.731).
These factors are tagged Innovative construction processes. The
3rd component comprises 5factors ranging from
compensation for a job well done (0.772), improving employees’ skill for
better performance (0.750) capability for developing employees
potentials (0.736), communication between and among members (0.700) and
emphasising team building/supporting committed team (0.681). The central
notion here is on team management, so the 3rdcomponent is referred to as Workforce management.
Component four consists of 4 factors namely: recognition of leader’ s
priority and belief towards recruitment (0.743), sourcing for
information/alternative way of doing things (0.703), building trust by
listening (0.637) and enhancing user acceptance (0.618). This component
is referred to as Founders/leader’s belief.
On component five, 3 factors were loaded thus, responsiveness to changes
in the business environment (0.741), emphasising economic as well as
social impact (0.660), and venturing into some opportunities in the
market (0.636). This is termed External orientation.
Component six covers 4 loadings described thus: providing training in
knowledge (0.739), provisions of workshops on knowledge management
(0.702), punishment for immoral and/or unethical conduct (0.660) and
reward for a new achievement /sharing knowledge (0.603). This component
is referred to as Knowledge management.
The 7th component loadings were conformance to legal
provision in contract document (0.778) and adherence to project plans
and schedules (0.775). This is termed Production orientation .The
8th component factors are also 2. These are
implementing periodic site meetings (0. 77) and encouraging outsourcing
/subcontracting (0.631). This revolves round Task and goal
accomplishment.
