Abstract

Stakeholders play a significant role in project success or failure. The effective management of stakeholders in construction projects is vital to the project success. Conflicts between the project team and one or more stakeholders may hinder the effectiveness of Stakeholder Management (SM), hence robust Stakeholder Management Strategies (SMS) are required to be in place. This systematic literature review investigates the impact of various SMSs on the success of construction projects. The review synthesizes findings from diverse sources to extract factors affecting the trend of SM through in-depth content analysis aiming to cover the chief objective of the research which is how to do efficient management for stakeholders in construction projects. By providing a holistic view of SM within the construction industry, this paper provides valuable insights for project managers, policymakers, and industry practitioners aiming to improve project delivery through better SM. Moreover, the study recommends exploring new means of communication, and the roles of advanced digital tools and social platforms that remain helpful in engaging stakeholders and should be aligned with the local and organizational culture. Additionally, the review explores challenges such as stakeholder misalignment and resistance to change, offering insights into overcoming these barriers to maximize project success. The findings also refine the understanding of the strategic implementation of SM in construction projects to develop guidelines and best practices for implementing SMS tailored to specific project contexts, advocating for the development of regulatory frameworks that incentivize organizations to prioritize SM in project planning and execution.
