| description | The research described in this paper investigates the application of Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) by the Malaysian CIDB G7 registered construction contractors. The
objective of the research is to analyse the application of ADR in the Malaysian construction
industry in term of quantity, trend and obstacles. This research adopted quantitative
methodology based on cross sectional survey instrument to 1000 contractors from the
available sampling frame consists of 2,834 building and civil engineering contractors
nationwide and the response rate was 231 (23%) which is acceptable rate for social science
research. The data collected has been analysed using descriptive analysis and nonparametric
statistics using SPSS 15. It was found that currently ADR is not very applicable
in the Malaysian construction industry. At the same time the application of ADR is not
strongly influenced by the years of establishment of the construction organisations,
experience and designation of respondents, value of contract price and project duration.
Overall, the level of application of ADR by the G7 construction contractors are generally low
due to the characteristics, perceptions and understanding on the overall process of dispute
resolution. These preliminary research findings will form a basis for the establishment of a
construction ADR framework for practical utilisation in the Malaysian construction industry. |
