Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the key aspects of performance measurement for
maintenance management of office buildings, in order to enhance maintenance service delivery.
Design/methodology/approach – A mixed method was adopted with the selection of five
buildings as the case studies. In total, 1,230 questionnaires were distributed to the end-users of the
buildings.
Findings – This paper proposes a performance measurement system that is proved to be practical
and suitable to measure the effectiveness of maintenance service delivery of office buildings.
Research limitations/implications – Future research could focus on developing a performance
measurement system from a strategic approach.
Practical implications – The proposed performance measurement system is anticipated to facilitate
the evaluation process for maintenance providers, as it has taken into account the key elements
of a maintenance management system.
Originality/value – The outcomes of this research are significant in their own right but also serve as
a platform for future research in this area.
