| Summary: | In recent years, there have been several concerns regarding building maintenance of
Malaysian public buildings, particularly educational buildings, which are continually
increasing and experiencing severe issues. However, previous studies have not yet
identified the issues related to building maintenance practices and their influences on
building maintenance success in Malaysian public universities. Therefore, this research
aimed to develop an integrated strategic framework for critical influential issues on
building maintenance success in Malaysian public universities (MPUs). The present
research has employed a case study as the research strategy and a sequential mixed
method design as the research design, which comprises quantitative and qualitative
methods. This study started with the collection and analysis of quantitative data (via a
questionnaire survey); this first phase was followed by the collection and analysis of
qualitative data (via semi-structured in-depth interviews). The quantitative data analysis
was performed using SPSS and PLS-SEM, while the analysis of qualitative data was
carried out using the content analysis technique. After that, the integration of
quantitative and qualitative results was conducted to develop the framework. The
research findings identified building maintenance issues, assessed their impacts on
building maintenance success, and proposed strategies to address those issues and their
influences in MPUs. The identified issues were related to organisational issues, human
resource issues, technical issues, financial issues, building user issues and university
expansion issues. Organisational issues had a large impact, while human resources had
no impact, technical issues had minor impact, and financial, university expansion, and
building user issues had medium impact on the overall building maintenance success. As
a result, the following six strategies have been proposed for successfully implementing
building maintenance in MPUs: organisational strategy; financial strategy; university
expansion strategy; technical strategy; human resources strategy; building users strategy.
These strategies have the potential to address the identified issues and their
consequences. Overall, this research will guide maintenance organisations and other
involved stakeholders in MPUs to carry out effective maintenance practices. It will also
provide information to those concerned about the building maintenance industry,
allowing them to improve their perception of successful maintenance. |
