| description | The implementation of MS-ISO 9000 Standards in Public Works
Department of Malaysia, had an impact on the future direction of the project
management phenomenon in the architectural design practice. It is through
this implementation exercise that the public sector's architectural design
practice made its first attempt to understand the concept of project
management and its philosophy. The MS-ISO 9000 Standards which
incorporates project management practice in its guidelines are the main
source of direction and guiding principles for PWD' s architectural design
practice. Hence this saw the need for project management thinking in the
public sector.
The main thrust of this study is to investigate and ascertain through
questionnaire survey, the adoptability and relevancy of project management
principles in the public sector's architectural design practice. A total of 90 survey returns were received , which represented 81 .8 percent of the total
110 questionnaire forms distributed . The sample population for the study is
focused on the managerial and professional level of the public sector's
architectural design practice. The data gathered through various survey
instruments were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis with the use of
Statistical Package for Social Science, version 10.5 ( 1999) using descriptive
and correlation statistical analysis.
It was found that majority of the architects recognize the
characteristics of project management and its relevancy in their creative
orientated practice. Thus , it is evident in the survey findings that project
management principles as defined in this thesis is applicable in the public
sector's architectural design practice, and generally has increased the
awareness of the architects towards time, cost and quality requirements of
the projects. The elements of system approach namely project organization
mission, project objectives, project goals and short-term targets are
found in the PWD' s architectural design practice. All these elements
contribute to the functioning of the architectural design practice. It is
therefore apparent from the survey that project management principles,
after its inception, contributes to the overall success of the PWD' s
building projects. However the thesis has also identified several drawbacks
of the project management principles in the architectural design practice, but
they do not adversely affect the contribution of the project management
practice in the continuous success of the PWD 's architectural practice. |
