| Abstract | Relational Contracting (RC) attracted attention in construction industry since the 1960s (McInnis, 2000). And now, it is becoming popular day by day, part icularly in Asian region. There are different forms of RC in different situation. In Myanmar, there are a lot of RC projects and most of projects are successful in some extent. As communication is one of the important and routine processes of RC (Alsagoff et al., 1994), the systematic approach for communication is essential. Memon (2013) suggested the Social Interaction Theory (SIT) model for the successful interaction among included parties, owners and contractors in construction projects. Having a lot of RC projects in Myanmar, this research will find out the effectiveness of SIT approach in Myanmar construction projects. This study is quantitative research to investigate the applicability of SIT approach and the effects of SIT on focused project outcome s (project time, project cost, quality outcomes, satisfaction in working relationship and overall project performance). By analyzing of the collected data, the applicability of SIT approach in Myanmar construction projects is verified and the effectivenes s of SIT model on focused project outcomes is analyzed by weighing with the literature reviews and suggestion by Memon (2013). The recommendation for SIT approach is also identified. |
