Corporate governance is a system articulating the division of responsibilities among different company members, and defining the running rules and procedures for making decisions on corporate affairs. The separation of ownership and management in modern enterprises brings agency problems to the company shareholders, and it is wildly believed that good practice on corporate governance is essential to prevent managers from taking actions by which profiteering their own benefits but compromising the interests of shareholders. This research investigates the level of companies' compliance with the corporate governance codes to find whether significant differences in corporate governance practice exist between the listed construction companies and the national leading companies in Taiwan. Further exploration focuses on the correlation between the compliance level and the industrial features. The investigation finds that: (1)Construction companies display lower levels of corporate governance compliance; (2)Construction companies display lower levels of structural board independence and respect for stakeholders; (3)Compliance levels of construction companies are correlated with the number of employees and the ownership concentration; (4)Compliance levels of the whole sample companies are correlated with the factors representing firm size, such as turnover, capital and number of employees, but are independent of profitability as well as stock price volatility. The above empirical evidence characterizes the features of corporate governance in Taiwan listed construction companies, including: (1)Large companies lurking high risk of agency problems have more willingness to conduct corporate governance and meanwhile can afford higher costs for the conduction, so that their compliance level would be higher than smaller companies; (2)Construction companies in Taiwan have higher ownership concentration, on account of the industrial tradition of family business, and therefore pay less attention to the compliance with structural board independence and respect for stakeholders. However, the conclusions indicate that further studies are essential to clarify whether the above disparities would lead to a negative cycle of corporate governance practice in construction industry. The benefits of corporate governance should unfold more evidently to convince construction companies for improving their investment environment and stimulating their healthy growth.

This study examined the certification effects of safety and health management system (SHMS) on the establishment level of SHMS and accident statistics in construction industry. This study obtained the establishment level of SHMS for 106 construction companies surveyed from our previous study. In addition, three major accident statistics (mortality rate, accidental mortality rate, and injury rate) for the companies were collected from the database in Korean Occupational Safety and Health Agency. The statistical analysis results revealed that the establishment level for SHMS certified companies was significantly higher than those for uncertified or certification preparing companies. Furthermore, SHMS certified companies showed significantly smaller accident statistics compared to uncertified or certification preparing companies. The results of this study support the positive effects of SHMS on reducing major industrial accidents in construction companies.

This paper presents the safety performance of Korean domestic construction companies including the characteristic and current status of safety management actions of the firms. Safety performance both at the head office and job sites of each construction companies, which are divided four groups by construction capacity ranking, are investigated. General recognition that there is a wide difference of safety performance among domestic construction companies by construction capacity ranking was confirmed by comparing the safety performance at the head office and the job sites of the companies under the study. Data analysis shows that the safety performance of the group I and II has the largest difference, and this difference of the group II and III and group III and IV are gradually decreased, respectively. This paper presents the safety performance improvement measures, which is applicable to safety management components consisting of both the head office and job sites safety management systems of each group (e.g., I, II, III and IV) suffering the lack of safety performance.

As domestic recession has had an adverse impact on many Korean companies in Korea, financial soundness has become a critical issues. It is essential to identify financial risk factors to prevent workout as well as to improve the financial condition of domestic construction companies. Therefore, this study derived important management indicators and the financial ratios that belong to each indicator through a comparative analysis between healthy companies and workout companies with financial statement. As a consequence, key financial ratios are derived into 3 of 25 ratios; Equity Ratio in stability indicator, Total Asset Turnover Ratio in activity indicator, and Labor Equipment Ratio in productivity indicator. So, Korean construction firms are required close monitoring these critical financial ratios indicating variation between construction companies which have opposing statuses in finance in order to keep sound financial condition and increase productivity.

90년대 이후 전 세계적으로 지식경영(Knowledge Management : KM)에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 특히 기업의 시장가치 중 지식자산이 차지하는 비중이 높아짐에 따라 한국의 건설 분야도 90년대 중반부터 대기업을 중심으론 지식경영을 도입하고 있다. 그러나, 중소${\cdot}$전문건설업체의 경우에는 기업의 재무 및 조직적인 이유로 지식경영에 대한 이해와 정보화에 뒤쳐지고 있는 실정이다. 더욱이, 건설 분야에서 중소${\cdot}$전문건설업체가 차지하는 비중이 매우 높게 나타나기 때문에 이들의 기술 수준이 건설공사의 품질과 직결된다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 회사의 가치와 경쟁력 향상을 위해서 중소${\cdot}$전문건설업체들의 여건에 적합한 지식경영 전략 즉, 지식경영 도입 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper, a survey related to excavation construction activities among national and international construction companies was conducted to evaluate site productivity in construction industry. To analyze the respective productivity levels of each construction company, a benchmarking measures analysis that featured calculations of the performance ratio (PR) and performance management index (PMI) was performed. As a result of these analyses, it has been found that the work performed by local companies was marked by lower productivity and that of international companies was characterized by good productivity. Further analysis of construction workforce resources P% revealed that a construction company's productivity is largely dependent on production capacity and consumption resources, which means that the retention of skilled workers and utilization of high-quality resources yields the highest level of productivity. These results suggest that for a local construction company to be competitive in the construction work market, it must retrain skilled craftspeople, foremen, engineers, and project managers, and strengthen its building capability by leveraging new equipment and technologies.

Background: Substantial empirical research has shown conflicting results regarding the influence of organizational external factors on construction risk management, suggesting the necessity to introduce a moderator into the study. The present research confirmed whether rules and regulations matter on the relationships between organizational external factors and construction risk management. Methods: Based on discouragement and organizational control theory, this research examined the effects of organizational external factors and rules and regulations on construction risk management among 238 employees operating in construction companies in Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria. A personally administered questionnaire was used to acquire the data. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results: A significant positive relationship between organizational external factors and construction risk management was asserted. This study also found a significant positive relationship between rules and regulations and construction risk management. As anticipated, rules and regulations were found to moderate the relationship between organizational external factors and construction risk management, with a significant positive result. Similarly, a significant interaction effect was also found between rules and regulations and organizational external factors. Implications of the research from a Nigerian point of view have also been discussed. Conclusion: Political, economy, and technology factors helped the construction companies to reduce the chance of risk occurrence during the construction activities. Rules and regulations also helped to lessen the rate of accidents involving construction workers as well as the duration of the projects. Similarly, the influence of the organizational external factors with rules and regulations on construction risk management has proven that most of the construction companies that implement the aforementioned factors have the chance to deliver their projects within the stipulated time, cost, and qualities, which can be used as a yardstick to measure a good project.

최근 스마트건설이 활성화됨에 따라 기업의 스마트 건설기업으로 전환을 위해 건설회사에서는 스마트건설에 관한 역량 평가가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 스마트 건설의 활성화는 건설회사만 해당되는 것이 아니라 발주자, 설계자, 건설사업관리자, 시공자 등 건설 프로젝트 참여자 전체의 활용수준이 평가되어 향상되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건설사업관리수행에서 CM기업의 BIM 활용수준을 측정하기 위해 BIM 활용수준에 대한 평가모델을 제시하고 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구의 방법은 BIM 활용항목별 가중치를 선정하기 위해 BIM 실무자들을 대상으로 AHP 설문조사를 실시하였다. 산정된 결과를 평가 모델에 활용하기 위해 점수화 시켜 BIM 활용수준 평가모델을 구축하고 평가하고자 한다. 평가 결과 중 정량 평가에서는 BIM 사용 가능 인력수에서 기업별 차이를 보였고 정성평가에서는 간섭검토, 시공성 검토, 설계변경관리에 주로 활용하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. BIM 활성화를 위해서는 건설사업관리자를 대상으로 별도의 전문 교육을 실시하여 BIM 활용능력을 강화시키고 건설사업관리업무 수행에 있어 BIM활용에 대한 명확한 활용기준 및 업무범위 제시가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 제시한 모델을 활용하여 더 많은 기업에 대한 평가를 진행하며, 평가 결과는 CM기업의 스마트건설의 전환과 BIM 도입 활성화게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
