Success factors of knowledge capture in a construction project using PLS-SEM

Project teams in construction projects are temporary. They will be disbanded once the project closes. Therefore, all the experience and knowledge gained in the project can be scattered and lost if it is not properly documented and shared, resulting in the loss of assets to the detriment of the construction company. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics that have a significant role in determining whether or not construction projects are successful in terms of knowledge capture. The data was obtained through the use of a survey questionnaire and then analyzed through the use of SmartPLS 3 and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). PLS-SEM is a multivariate statistical approach that can handle several explanatory and response variables. It also has the benefit of not requiring large or normally distributed. The variables used in this study were strategic factors, leadership style factors, top management factors, technical factors, cultural factors, and motivational factors. According to the findings of this research, the success of Knowledge Capture is substantially influenced both by strategic variables and cultural factors. Strategic factors refer to indicators of organizational structure, while cultural factors refer to mutual trust between employees and accessible knowledge among employees.
