Abstract: The involvement of housing developers in the development of affordable housing has attained public attention. One of the internal factors influencing the participation of housing developers in the development of affordable housing is its organizational structure. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between organizational structure and private housing developers’ participation in development of affordable housing. Data for the study are collected from a sample of 352 licensed housing developers that are based in Peninsular Malaysia. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is adopted for data analysis. The results approved the hypothesized immediate effects of organizational structure (formalization and centralization) and private housing developers’ participation on the development of affordable housing. The results carry an enormous effect; therefore, its empirical research is developed into the context of affordable housing development.
Keywords: Affordable Housing, Internal Factors, Organizational Structure, Housing Developers’ Involvement.
