Abstract:
Although numerous research studies have revealed that mega-projects are closely linked to globalization and civilization, few researchers have performed logical assessments of mega-projects using stakeholder theory. As stakeholders demand greater sustainability in the construction industry, sustainable development (SD) has become a priority. However, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green competitive advantage (GCA) have often been overlooked. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by creating a comprehensive model to predict mega-project sustainable performance (MSP). Data was collected from 289 respondents in Pakistan's construction industry, and hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis. The results indicate that both secondary and primary stakeholders' pressure positively impacts CSR and MSP. Moreover, CSR significantly affects GCA and MSP, with CSR and GCA partially mediating these relationships. Thus, the proposed model could offer innovative insights for decision-makers and engineering managers, recommend adopting social and green practices to enhance MSP with the support of concerned stakeholders' pressure, and help achieve SD objectives.
