This research examines the influence of innovative stakeholder engagement models and collaborative
advantages on the success of construction projects. The study utilised Structural Equation Modeling via
Smart PLS on 250 questionnaires distributed to construction industry stakeholders. 213 valid responses
were obtained, assessing the relationship between innovative stakeholder engagement models and collaborative advantages in project success. Hypotheses were tested, and the constructs’ validity and reliability were evaluated. The study indicates that innovative stakeholder engagement models indirectly affect
the success of construction projects through collaborative advantages, with stakeholder engagement facilitating the transformation of these strategies into positive project outcomes. The research concludes that
innovative engagement models, supported by collaborative advantages and stakeholder engagement, are
vital for project success. It emphasises the importance of prioritising these factors instead of merely
depending on innovative practices. Practitioners should employ collaborative tools, advanced technologies, and participatory planning to strengthen stakeholder engagement, trust, and collaboration in construction projects, while future research should examine cross-cultural interactions. The study explores the
correlation between innovative practices and stakeholder involvement in construction projects, highlighting collaborative benefits for success. It identifies gaps in existing literature and suggests the need for
future research using longitudinal methodologies to evaluate the long-term effects across different cultural and organisational contexts
Introduction
Introduction
The construction sector faces challenges like delays, budget overruns, and stakeholder failures, which hinder project success, reduce efficiency, and compromise sustainable project results,leading to diminished profitability (Ali and Haapasalo 2023).Stakeholder engagement is crucial for overcoming challenges and facilitating effective planning, resource allocation, and conflict resolution (Bahadorestani et al. 2020). Innovative engagement models are gaining attention for their ability to enhance collaboration and project goals by utilizing new tools, technologies, and methodologies to improve communication, trust, and stakeholder satisfaction (Willis and Alves 2019).Conventional stakeholder engagement methods often lack the
necessary innovation to address contemporary construction projects’ evolving and intricate demands (Osunsanmi et al. 2020).Consequently, projects often exceed their defined scope, budget, and timeline, and understanding innovative engagement models and collaborative benefits is limited to enhancing construction
project outcomes (Maddaloni and Davis 2017). Bridging this gap necessitates comprehensively examining the interactions among stakeholder engagement, innovative models, and collaborative
