Abstract

The concept and principles of good governance are recognized by many countries as a key condition for the effective implementation of large-scale projects, ensuring economic growth, and improving the welfare of the population. However, approaches to its implementation depend on many factors, primarily the cultural context of a particular country. In this article, using the example of the management of the construction sector in Malaysia, the perception of stakeholders of this concept and the practices of its application are analyzed. Of the considered components of this model, the respondents most often singled out the effective organization of managing complex processes and multi-level relationships between the components of the system, strict adherence to the rules, and transparency and conscientiousness in the performance of duties. This study shows where good governance information campaigns need to be improved to reach their full potential.
