Abstract

Recently, the demand for performance evaluation and management at the industrial or corporate level has been increasing. From this perspective, this study has developed indicators to measure and compare construction company performances and we have analyzed various characteristics of those indicators. Throughout our thorough qualitative and quantitative analysis we first identified a set of indicators for performance measurement. These indicators have been shown to meet the requirements of validity, measurability, and comparability. Second, we calculated the performance index of construction companies by applying weightings of the performance categories. Then we performed correlation and regression analyses using the calculated performance index and identified the basic cause-and-effect relationships, as well as the statistical characteristics of the performance index. Drawing on the results of the analytical processes identified in this work, we discuss future research to be conducted.

지금까지 건설산업은 재무 중심의 성과측정에 주로 의존하여 왔다. 또한 성과측정시스템에 관한 연구는 대부분 프로젝트 레벨에서 이루어졌다. 그러나 최근 들어 산업 또는 기업 레벨의 성과측정 및 관리에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 건설기업들의 성과를 측정하고 서로 비교할 수 있는 지표를 개발하고, 지표들의 다양한 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 우선, 정성적, 그리고 정량적 분석 과정을 통해 지표의 타당성, 측정가능성, 비교가능성을 만족시키는 공통적인 지표체계를 도출하였다. 다음으로, 성과영역들의 가중치를 적용하여 건설기업의 성과지수를 산정하였으며, 산정된 성과지수를 이용한 상관분석, 회귀분석 등을 수행하여 성과지표의 통계적인 특성과 기초적인 인과관계를 도출하였다. 마지막으로, 이러한 분석 과정에서 도출된 다양한 결과들과 함께 계속해서 수행되어야 할 향후 연구과제를 제시하였다.
