Abstrakt: AbstractThe research article aims to determine the critical success factors (CSFs) of the pre-construction stages of the public road construction project life cycle in Ghana. Data on 26 CSFs and 16 success criteria were collected from key stakeholders across Ghana through a questionnaire survey. The data was then analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The study showed that external environmental factors and project management factors directly influence success across the pre-construction phases of the Ghanaian public road construction project life cycle whereas procurement-related factors only influence the success of the works procurement phase. The research outcome would inspire construction industry stakeholders to be dynamic and pay utmost attention to the application of the CSFs identified across the pre-construction phases of the Ghanaian public road construction project life cycle. This is the first study wherein the influence of CSFs across the pre-construction stages of the public road construction project life cycle in Ghana is identified. Thus, it extends public road construction project management literature in Ghana. The study is limited to equipment-intensive public construction projects in Ghana.
