Multiple Regression Analysis to The Influence of Communication Management on Project Success

Abstract

The success of a construction project, in general, is known to have a triple constraint with the criteria of being on time, on cost, and quality. Project success is highly dependent on effective communication as it can increase project success by up to 80% compared to poor communication by only 52%. Several studies have found that poor communication is one of the most critical obstacles to construction project success. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between communication management (X) and the success of construction projects (Y) simultaneously. The sample for this study was obtained using a total sampling technique so that the sample size corresponds to the members of the population, namely as many as 30 construction companies registered with the Association of National Construction Executors (GAPENSI) in Banda Aceh, one of the provinces in Indonesia. Based on the analysis results, it was found that communication management simultaneously had an influence of 53.2% on the success of construction projects. In comparison, the other 46.8% was determined by variables not examined in this study.
