Abstract

This article presented the development and evaluation of structural model of factors affecting the success of PPP project. These factors were identified through literature review and classified into four groups which are formulation; governance; transparency; trust. Data collected from questionnaire survey  involved 295 selected experts involved in of Public-Private Partnership in UAE. The data was used to develop the model usinf AMOS-SEM software. The model was assessed CFA technique at measurement components and found that the entire measurement model has achieved the criteria of goodness of fit. Then the model was assessed at structural level and found that it also achieved the goodness of fit criteria. Finally the model was undergone hypothesis testing using path analysis and found that only two out of four hypothese are significant which are the formulation and governance. This indicates that the respondents gave less priority to transparency and trust. Hopefully, the findings will benefit the stakeholder in PPP projects.
