Effect of government policy on the relationship between organisational resources and construction waste management

The construction organization contributes to the generation of large quantities of construction waste across Nigerian cities. Nigeria has been known to lack appropriate procedures for managing construction waste, and developers and their contractors are left with the collection and disposal of construction waste management, despite the fact that they are expected to embrace all administrative, financial, legal, planning, and technological functions involved in solutions to all problems of construction waste. Therefore, this leads to ineffective construction waste management. This paper examines the effect of the government policy on the relationship between organizational
resources and construction waste management among construction organizations, in Abuja, Nigeria. A quantitative method of survey was used to obtain data from managers of construction project-based organizations in Abuja, Nigeria. A total of 310 questionnaires were administered and 178 usable
questionnaires were returned, yielding 57.4 response rate. Partial least square Structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. The Cronbach’s Alpha value for the variables ranging from 0.885 to 0.972 indicates a very good reliability of the research instrument. It was found that all the hypotheses are significant at 5% significance level. It was found that while government policy moderates the relationship between the Transformational leadership as a dimension of organizational resources and construction waste management, it does not support organizational learning and staff training.
