Stakeholder management is an important aspect of project management in many industries, including construction projects. Stakeholder management must be done properly for the success of any project. Managing diverse groups of people with different talents, interests and perspectives in the construction industry is challenging due to its complexity (Nguyen and Mohamed, 2018). Effective stakeholder management is essential to the success of a construction project because stakeholders are diverse and have different interests and objectives. Thus, according to Wang and Shen (2020), stakeholders’ requirements, expectations, and satisfaction are important for construction project management. Parties involved in construction projects include suppliers, contractors, customers and environmental and community organizations. According to Oke and Aigbawboa (2017), different stakeholder groups may have different expectations, concerns and influences on the project.
