The construction organization contributes to the generation of large quantities of
construction waste across Nigerian cities. Nigeria has been known to lack appropriate procedures for
managing construction waste, and developers and their contractors are left with the collection and
disposal of construction waste management, despite the fact that they are expected to embrace all
administrative, financial, legal, planning, and technological functions involved in solutions to all
problems of construction waste. Therefore, this leads to ineffective construction waste management.
This paper examines the effect of the government policy on the relationship between organizational
resources and construction waste management among construction organizations, in Abuja, Nigeria. A
quantitative method of survey was used to obtain data from managers of construction project-based
organizations in Abuja, Nigeria. A total of 310 questionnaires were administered and 178 usable
questionnaires were returned, yielding 57.4 response rate. Partial least square Structural equation
model (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. The Cronbach’s Alpha value for the variables ranging
from 0.885 to 0.972 indicates a very good reliability of the research instrument. It was found that all
the hypotheses are significant at 5% significance level. It was found that while government policy
moderates the relationship between the Transformational leadership as a dimension of organizational
resources and construction waste management, it does not support organizational learning and staff
training. Copyright © 2016 Penerbit Akademia Baru - All rights reserved.
