Abstract

This research aimed to the factors affecting the subcontractor's decision-making for bidding. Data were collected from 86 contractors in Sakon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom and Mukdahan provinces. A total of 20 candidate factors were included in the questionnaires for gathering data. The Relative Importance Index (RII) was employed for ranking factors. The results indicated that the most important factors are 1) working capital, 2) current workload and 3) rate of return. The statistical test revealed that the opinions of contractors with different experiences and operating capital gave no different opinions on the issue of working capital and the rate of return. The study results are information for subcontractors to develop an efficient bidding decision system.
