Addressing the ethical issues among professionals is essential in ensuring successful project completion besides meeting quality requirements, completing on time, and being carried out within the budget. Questionnaire data from 203 respondents involving the contractor's professional from the Malaysian private construction sector was collected. The finding of this study indicated that the ethical issues among professionals focusing on the contractor perspective for the private sector have a direct and negative impact on the construction project. The study's outcomes confirmed the significance of corruption, negligence, unfair conduct, favoritism, and fraud were the most critical unethical among the professional that needs to be paid attention to and optimized. This study will provide helpful information to all stakeholders in dealing with ethical issues, especially among professionals involved in each construction phase. The preventive measure must be taken and considered accordingly in resolving these ethical issues in ensuring success in the construction project management and determining the success of project completion within the cost, quality, and time expected. |
