Abstract
This article analyzes the data collected from the general public and experts in the industry in order to assess the current situation and propose solutions to improve the capability of project management boards of large-scale construction projects in Vietnam. A dataset of 129 survey respondents, whose reliability has been validated with the Cronbach's alpha and the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) test, was constructed. The remaining 24 factors were organized into 8 factor groups that influence the project management capability. Group I, which had the greatest impact, is the legal procedures group, followed by the project deployment process group, down to Group VIII, which is the project risk management group. The results of this study help large-scale construction companies find effective solutions to improve the quality of their projects and increase their competitive capacity in the domestic and international markets.
