基于风险的决策(Risk-Based Decision，RBDM)是成功的建设项目管理的关键，决策者对风险的态度在其中起着重要的作用。以往对建设项目风险管理的研究主要集中在影响风险管理成功的因素上，而对影响决策者风险态度的因素关注较少。本研究以中国为例，探讨影响承建商风险态度的关键因素。采用文献综述、访谈和问卷调查等方法，对承包商风险态度的影响因素进行识别。并运用排序分析和因子分析的统计方法进行验证和进一步分析。结果表明，最重要的三个因素是：“决策后果”、“工程经验”和“项目信息完整性”。对识别出的关键因素进行因子分析的结果表明，这些关键因素可以分为四类，即：(1)知识和经验；(2)承包商的性格；(3)个人感知；(4)经济环境。本研究的意义在于，不仅通过加深承包商对影响其风险态度的因素的理解，为他们提供决策支持，而且为本课题下一步的研究提供了有益的参考。(C)2010年爱思唯尔有限公司和IPMA。版权所有。
Risk-based decision making (RBDM) is critical in successful construction project management, in which decision makers' attitudes towards risks play an important role. Most previous studies in construction project risk management have been focusing on the factors contributing to the success of risk management, but little attention was given to factors significantly affecting decision makers' risk attitudes in construction projects. To improve RBDM, we investigate the critical factors affecting contractors' risk attitudes in construction projects in China in this research. Literatures reviews, interviews and questionnaires are used for the identification of factors affecting contractors' risk attitudes. Statistical methods of ranking analysis and factor analysis are also implemented for verification and further analysis. The results show that the most important three factors are: "consequences of decision making", "engineering experience", and "completeness of project information". Results from factor analysis on the identified critical factors reveal that they can be grouped into four categories, namely: (1) knowledge and experience; (2) contractors' character; (3) personal perception; and (4) economic environment. The significance of this research is that the findings do not only provide decision making support for contractors by deepening their understandings of the factors that affect their risk attitudes, but also serve as a useful reference for further studies under this topic.
