Abstract:
In construction, many problems affect the performance of the project. In this independent
project work, this project would show the factors that are pertinent to the performance of
Universal Rural Road Access program contractors in Adama woreda. Here the data is
collected by interview and observation while the some contractors were on action. Then
the data collected was analyzed qualitatively. Sampling method used was purposive
sampling. The result shows that there are two categories of factors. Internal factors and
external factors. The result shows that both factors have high contribution on poor
performance of the contractor. Qualitatively discussing of the factors, the researcher
shows each factors impact. However, in case of controllability, external factors are
difficult to control for the contractors. Trust between member of the contractor from
internal factors and payment delay from external factors are seen as serious factors. In
addition, timely release of the payment lack of doing deep and clear research before
starting the programme, developing business relations for external factors and creating
deep partnership between members are seen as good for performance of the contractors.
Therefore, further investigation in this area for the future is necessary for the reduction of
this factors effec
