The success of construction projects depends on the coordinated efforts of team members in early settlement of the disputes. The issue of disputes is critical; thus, achieving a satisfactory solution in projects is essential. This study aims to identify the types of bias, motives for bias, and bias-minimizing approaches in construction project disputes resolution in the Gaza Strip. The study adopted the descriptive-analytical approach with questionnaire as a tool. The findings show the existence of bias in resolution of dispute in a construction project. Early detection allows management to intervene and steer the construction project dispute resolution team back to rational courses. Construction professionals of the likelihood are practicing biased behaviors in construction project dispute resolution. This study suggests optimizing construction project dispute resolution procedures to diminish the chance of bias occurring. The arbitrator should take greater responsibility for the negative outcomes of the resolution. © 2021 American Society of Civil Engineers. date: 2022 publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85121551702&doi=10.1061%2f%28ASCE%29LA.1943-4170.0000525&partnerID=40&md5=52e9b630c441b9db8b9c2c785631929f id_number: 10.1061/(ASCE)LA.1943-4170.0000525 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction volume: 14 number: 1 refereed: TRUE issn: 19434162 citation: Tayeh, B.A. and Alaloul, W.S. and Alkurdi, M.H. and Abu Aisheh, Y.I. and Musarat, M.A. (2022) Evaluation of Biases in Construction Project Dispute Resolution: Case Study.
