Performance of Project Implementors Relative to Implementation of Regular Infrastructure Project of the Department of Public Works and Highways, Region-10

Using the descriptive research design, this study inquired into the relationship between performance of project implementers and status of implementation of regular infrastructure projects of the DPWH-R 10. Performance components of the project implementers were treated as the independent variables in terms of quality assurance, monitoring system, capability of project implementers, and executive and information system. The dependent variables were the status of implementation of the regular infrastructure projects on the dimensions of road construction, bridge, and approach construction, flood control construction, and rehabilitation of roads. The intervening variables were the indicators of organizational factors which were measured in terms of financial resources, manpower services, equipment support, and administrative support. The respondents included forty (40) project engineers, twenty five (25) resident engineers, twenty five (25) material engineers, and ten project (10) engineers of contractors. The data were organized, analyzed and interpreted through the weighted mean, Pearson correlation coefficients to test the relationship between the independent and dependent variables, and multiple regressions to determine the effects of the intervening variables. The project implementers performed best on the performance indicators in terms of monitoring system and quality assurance. The highest status of the implementation of regular infrastructure projects were road construction, bridge, and approach construction, and rehabilitation of roads. Ironically, flood control construction appeared as the lowest of all infrastructure projects. The provisions of organizational factors were indicated as adequate on administrative support and financial resources but lower in terms of manpower resources and equipment support. A significant positive relationship was established between projects implementer’s’ performance and the implementation of regular infrastructure projects and that relationship was strengthened by the intervening effects of administrative support and financial resources.
