As will be shown in the results and analyses, the hypothesis that
there was no empirical relationship between safety and quality
performance was proven false, confirming theory in literature.
To explain why this relationship existed in the sample, the authors
conducted semistructured interviews with project managers. On the basis of their specific experiences on the case project, they were
asked to:
1. Describe the relationship between quality performance (rework)
and safety performance;
2. Describe construction management strategies that improve
quality and safety performance; and
3. Describe the characteristics of a work crew that lead to strong
quality and safety performance.
