Research On The Influence Path Of Supervising Engineers’ Rent-seeking Behavior

Since the implementation of the project supervision system,the management level of engineering construction projects in China has been greatly improved.However,there are still many problems in the current supervision industry.The outstanding performances are: the industry system is still not perfect,the overall level of the supervision team is low,and the supervisor’s salary is relatively low etc..The supervision engineer to seek rent-seeking with the contractor for the purpose of obtaining non-productive profits are prompted by the above problems,which led to the contractor’s violation of the project quality,and the owner’s interests is damaged and even cause engineering quality and safety accidents.Therefore,by exploring the main factors affecting the rent-seeking behavior of supervision engineers and the path of influence,it is proposed to reduce the supervision of rent-seeking by the supervision engineer,which is of great significance to improve the project management level and improve the supervision market.First of all,the existing problems of the supervision industry are analyzed by the thesis by analyzing the development of the supervision engineer industry.At the same time,combined with the analysis of the field research results,the working status of the supervision engineer is known.Secondly,based on a large number of literature studies,based on the principal-agent theory and the fraud triangle theory,the causes of the rent-seeking behavior of supervision engineers is analyzed,and draws the main factors that affect the supervision rent-seeking behavior: institutional norm,remuneration packages,external environment of supervision work and personal work attitude.Then,the influence path of each factor on the rent-seeking behavior of the supervision engineer is analyzed to construct the influence path model.Finally,a questionnaire survey was conducted among the supervision engineers in many areas of Hubei Province,and 672 questionnaires were analyzed.The Amos software was used to empirically test the path model of the rent-seeking behavior of supervision engineers.The research results show that each factor has a significant negative impact on the rent-seeking behavior of the supervision engineer.The institutional norm and the external environment have a significant negative impact on the rent-seeking behavior through the working attitude.According to the research conclusions,this thesis proposes measures to improve the industry system norms,optimize the compensation and treatment of the supervision project and the working environment for each influencing factor,so as to curb the rent-seeking behavior of the supervision engineer and provide suggestions and countermeasures for the purification supervision market.
