| Abstract: | The aim of this research is to identify the factors that affect the performance of road construction projects in the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority. The study specifically focuses on the relationship between project time management activities, project cost management activities, project quality management activities, project scope management activities, project stakeholder management activities, and performance of road construction projects. A causal research design was adopted, and a mixed research approach was used with a sample population of 157. The study used purposive sampling. The quantitative data were analyzed using IBM SPSS and consisted of a structured survey with 157 closed-ended questions distributed to the AACRA, as well as interviews to triangulate the results. The study employed descriptive and multiple regression statistical tools to examine the relationship between the factors affecting road construction project performance and project performance indicators such as cost, time ,quality, scope, and stakeholder satisfaction. The results of the regression analysis indicate that project time management activities, project cost management activities, project quality management activities, project scope management activities and project stakeholder management activities significantly affect the performance of road construction projects in the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority. As a result, the research recommends that AACRA improve project management processes and ensure efficient and effective project delivery through the adoption of comprehensive cost management plans, prioritization of resource planning, emphasis on stakeholder engagement and communication, and prioritization of quality control and procurement procedures. These measures will have a positive impact on the performance of road construction projects in the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority and contribute to the overall success of the road construction industry. |
