Timely completion and a satisfied owner are the prime objectives of a construction project. The success to achieve these objectives of a project is fully depend on the working approaches (attitude) of a contractor company. Attitude is very difficult to be measured directly; therefore it must be inferred from assumed relationship with observable indicators. Commonly, behavior shown by a person or organization represents its attitude about things or persons or issues. The aim of this paper is to develop a framework for measuring attitude of contractors in an ongoing construction project. In this paper a set of key attitude indicators (KAIs) measured both objectively and subjectively have been developed through a field survey. The validity of the proposed KAIs is also tested by four case studies. The results of the study show that the KAIs stated in the paper can reasonably measure the attitude of contractors and can be helpful for the owners and project managers to control their projects effectively. This study also provides significant insights into developing a general and comprehensive base for further study.
