Abstract:

The implementation of ethical responsibility of construction projects is impacted by many external factors. According to resource dependence theory, this paper constructs the indicator system of external factors influencing the ethical responsibility of construction projects, conducts quantitative analysis on it by means of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), defines the five indicators (namely the perfect degree of laws and regulations, information symmetry, equality in status of project stakeholders, governmental supervision degree, and justice degree of contracts) as key influencing factors, and sets forth corresponding measures from three aspects aiming at the impact of the abovementioned key factors on the ethical responsibility of projects, in order to form an external restriction system for the ethical responsibility of projects, to realize the unification of self-discipline and heteronomy of project organizations, and to promote the realization of ethical responsibility objective of projects.
