These CSFs are discussed in view of the identification, evaluation, commitment, preparation and implementation phases of sustainability integration into construction project management practices. The findings reveal that role of clients, knowledge management, high quality workmanship, strategic direction and health and safety protocols, project managers' knowledge, skills and abilities and tighter control over construction activities are the most influential CSFs. The revised model in dialogue with innovation diffusion theory provides a framework that illustrates the most influential CSFs for developing countries. Accordingly, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is implemented to assess the strength of associations among different CSFs. The findings are validated through a survey questionnaire of project managers from Iran as a testbed of developing countries with 101 completed questionnaires. International Journal of Project Management 35 (2017) 1103вЂ“1119 Considering the novelty of sustainable practices for projects in developing countries, CSFs are attributed to the requirements for adoption of an innovation Identified CSFs are customised for the natural context of developing countries through conducting 16 semi-structured interviews with project managers. CSFs to sustainable delivery pertaining to the triple bottom line of sustainability are identified through a comprehensive review of literature with a special focus on existing studies in developing countries alongside well-known publications and checklists. To this end, a mixed method вЂsequential exploratory designвЂ™ is utilised. Second, the present study attempts to encapsulate the identified CSFs into a framework for delivery of construction projects through the lenses of innovation diffusion theory.

First, the study aims at discovering the critical success вЃЋ Corresponding author. With this in mind, the primary objective of this study is twofold. Project managers in developing countries are still lagging in integrating the concept of sustainability into core practices of managing projects. The need for economic growth in developing countries has fuelled a huge demand for construction projects, hence environmental concerns being overshadowed. Yet, developing countries have put economic development above meeting sustainability requirements. Executive summary Sustainability concerns in delivering construction projects have come to the fore in advanced economies. Keywords: Critical success factors Sustainability Project management Integration Developing countries Construction industryДЎ. This study contributes to the п¬Ѓeld by presenting one of the п¬Ѓrst studies in its kind focusing on CSFs for integration of sustainability into project management practices for construction projects within the context of developing countries.

The model was validated through a survey returning 101 completed questionnaires with partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) as the method of analysis. These were customised for the context of developing countries by conducting 16 semi-structured interviews and were presented in form of a conceptual model.

Having innovation diffusion theory as the theoretical point of departure, CSFs pertaining to the triple bottom line of sustainability (environmental, social and economic) were identiп¬Ѓed through a comprehensive review of literature.
