    Towards enhancement of construction innovation in Iraq
    (İstanbul Gedik Üniversitesi, 2021) Alkhabatah, Yasser Mohannad Tawfeeq; Ghasemlounia, Redvan
    Due to the great importance of construction innovation, many scientists believed that construction innovation would become the fourth dimension of future performance in addition to the traditional cost, quality, and time dimensions. In this regard, construction organizations need to innovate to benefit from market economic changes, develop long-term relations with customers, increase organizational motivation, and improve systems and processes. On the other hand, efficient construction project management supports construction organizations by increasing the likelihood of successful completion of the project – on schedule, within the budget, and without financial or legal problems. Consequently, considering the importance of innovation and project management in the construction sector, to increase project management efficiency and improve construction innovation at the same time, this research presented innovative best practices and demonstrated the possibility of integrating them with project management practices. In addition to investigating the most important factors that limit or increase creativity because creativity is a key ingredient in every innovation process. In short, this research covers two topics and combines them, namely "innovation" and " project management". The main objective of this research is to improve the efficiency of project management and improve construction innovation by investigating the most important factors and practices that exist in construction organizations and companies in Iraq that would limit or enable creativity, as well as by searching for the best practices that lead to innovation and presenting them for Integrate it with project management. In the end, the results are linked to a framework to help construction companies in Iraq complete more successful projects, and develop construction innovation. to achieve these objectives, the study relied on the exploratory research inquiry of structured questionnaires with interviews. A survey of the questionnaire was submitted to 121 engineers with various engineering specializations and positions working in consulting construction organizations, contracting organizations, or governmental organizations residing in Iraq. Among the engineers, the SPSS program was used for data analysis. The data was part descriptive and the other part was hypotheses, the metadata included the first section of the questionnaire, which includes the most important factors and practices present in construction organizations in Iraq that limit or enable creativity among workers in these organizations, as the results showed that the most important factor that limits creativity within construction organizations It is "The organization uses outdated policies and unnecessary red tape." Among the factors and practices that enable creativity the least practice used by construction organizations in Iraq was "Practicing creative thinking techniques in the organization, like the brainstorming method". As for the hypotheses, the results of their testing showed that there is a significant relationship at the level of (?<0.05) among practices of (lean construction, transformational leadership, quality management, risk management, and project management) The researcher provided a framework based on the results obtained from the research, it is supposed to assist construction organizations and companies in developing the level of project management and construction innovation. Also, this framework helps organizations pay attention to the factors and practices present within organizations that limit or enable creativity, thus create an environment better within these organizations lead to enhancing creativity and increasing employee efficiency. For future studies, the research results and information are expected to help and inspire researchers in the same field of this research to investigate new methods and establish new frameworks for innovative project management. In Iraq, the construction sector is one of the key sectors of the economy that has faced significant problems in terms of time, cost, and quality. To overcome these problems and to increase project management efficiency and improve construction innovation at the same time, this research presented innovative best practices and demonstrated the possibility of integrating them with project management practices. In addition to investigating the most important factors that limit or increase creativity because creativity is a key ingredient in every innovation process. In a nutshell, this study blends two topics: "innovation" and "project management."
