There was a significantdifference in scores for discrete projects (M=0.123, SD=0.098) and frameworkprojects (M=0.181, SD=0.059), t (162) =-4.124, p=0.000). The magnitude of thedifferences in the means was moderate to large (0.095).7.15.5 Interpretation for CSF4 – Health and safety inspections:Eta squared for CSF4 = -4.013²-4.013² + (60 + 104 – 2)Eta squared for CSF4 = 0.090An independent t-test was used to compare the ‘health and safety inspection’ criticalsuccess factor scores for discrete verses framework projects. There was a significantdifference in scores for discrete projects (M=0.159, SD=0.045) and frameworkprojects (M=0.187, SD=0.042), t (162) =-4.013, p=0.000). The magnitude of thedifferences in the means was moderate to large (0.090).7.15.6 Interpretation for PS index – Project Success Index:Eta squared for PSI = -11.602²-11.602² + (60 + 104 – 2)Eta squared for PSI = 0.454An independent t-test was used to compare the ‘project success index’ factor scoresfor discrete verses framework projects.
