Authors: Kristin Weger; Sheri Leder; Bryan L. Mesmer; V. Menon; H. Schaub
Year: 2022

Background: Communication is the backbone of effective collaboration, enabling project success; yet, engineering projects often fail due to poor communication. Specifically, engineering teams may benefit from reflexivity interventions to improve decision making, problem solving, innovation, and performance. In this study, we focus on team reflexivity in direct application to engineering project management to identify reflexivity processes that facilitate effective communication. Literature review: Although research has shown that team reflexivity interventions—elicited through communication—can improve team interaction and performance, little empirical evidence exists into the temporal dimensions across the action and transition phases of team reflexivity processes. Research questions: 1. How is team reflexivity expressed through text-based communication? 2. How and when do team members shift between reflexivity processes over time, especially across and between transition and action phases? Research methodology: We analyzed collaborative activity among 62 four-person teams in a computer-simulated microworld across two scenarios. The reflexivity processes exhibited during interaction were identified and analyzed using statistical and content analysis. Results and discussion: Analyses indicated that team reflection promoted discussions about key issues, facilitated frequent process shifts among transition and action phases, and resulted in overall better performance. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate the importance of team reflexivity interventions in engineering project teams to strategically guide members to improve planning, responding, and quality of attention devoted to long-term outcomes. Furthermore, our findings demonstrate the importance of deep structured team reflexivity through process shifts to help members understand strategies and goals, and develop shared objectives in complex environments.
Net-Zero Considerations within the Delivery of Major AEC Projects in the UK: A Thematic Analysis of the Key Challenges for Project Managers
Authors: Eduardo Navarro-Bringas; Godawatte Arachchige Gimhan Rathnagee Godawatte
Year: 2024

The growing emphasis on carbon considerations and the pursuit of net-zero emissions have brought about a paradigm shift in project management. To successfully facilitate the transition towards net-zero emissions, major projects must not only adapt existing systems but also embed carbon targets into their core strategies. While several studies have investigated carbon integration during the procurement phase, limited attention has been given to the construction project manager (PM) perspective. This study aims to bridge this research gap by exploring the challenges and barriers faced by construction PMs when integrating carbon targets and metrics into major Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects, as well as evaluating the readiness of project teams to deliver on these. This study deployed a qualitative exploratory research design, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 AEC project professionals actively engaged in the planning and execution of major projects in the UK. Thematic analysis of the data revealed a range of challenges and barriers faced by PM teams delivering these projects. The research findings contribute to the field of construction major projects and project management by enhancing the understanding of the challenges faced by PMs when planning and delivering major AEC projects within the context of the net-zero transition. This study uncovers a series of challenges and prevalent practices that have the potential to impede progress towards net zero. A conceptual model is also proposed, offering a synthesis of the different PM perspectives on carbon integration.

Year: 2011

Packaged software applications are often used to implement project management information systems. These applications should be configured according to requirements of the particular project. This paper describes the project management information systems configuration approach, which is based on the standardized definition of project management requirements and utilization of knowledge in the configuration process. The objective of the paper is to demonstrate application of this approach in configuration of several project management software applications to validate reusability of the standardized specification. As the result, three alternative project management software applications have been configured and specific challenges in configuration of these applications have been identified.
The Role of Thinking Style and Innovative Intentions for Optimal Creativity and Innovation in Organizations
Authors: J. Ettlie; Kevin S. Groves; C. Vance
Year: 2011

This study represents the confluence of two research streams under the organizational change rubric: linear/nonlinear thinking style-that is the notion that people tend to be either linear, nonlinear or balanced thinkers-and innovative intentions and resulting behaviors in organizations. It was hypothesized that a balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style and the inclination towards more innovative intentions and resulting behaviors in organizations are strongly related. The results of an analysis of four French and American business course student populations (n = 73) found a significant relationship in the predicted direction between balanced linear/nonlinear thinking style and innovative intention measures. A second wave of data collection involved six sections of graduate project management classes with a majority of engineering students. The results of the combined sample (n=124) mirrored the first wave results. Balanced thinking style and occupation-free measures of innovative intentions were significantly related. Important implications of the results are discussed for cross-functional innovative teams and directions for future work.

Abstract Background There is a lack of knowledge about young peoples’wishes for the qualifications including skills and personal traits of hospital staff during the recruitment process. Objective The aim of this qualitative study was to explore which qualifications, skills and personal traits young people prefer when recruiting hospital staff. Methods A Youth Recruitment Committee (YRC) consisting of four young people performed six job interviews in parallel to conventional job interviews at Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, Denmark. The interviews with the candidates and the subsequent YRC deliberation were observed and recorded, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Four main themes with matching sub-themes emerged from the data: (1) Personality (appearance and commitment), (2) Professional skills (approach, mentality and activities), (3) Project management (skills and experience), (4) Communication (during the interview and experiential approach to youth). It was important to the YRC that the candidate had professional experience working with young people as well as being a skilled project manager. The YRC also assessed the candidates´ communication during the interview. Conclusions By inviting young people in as a separate recruitment committee, their perspectives and preferences were noted without interference from professionals. Our findings are in line with previous research regarding young peoples´ preferences on youth-friendly health services. Furthermore, this approach made it possible to evaluate candidates´ communication skills with young people as they were assessed during the job interviews.

Lately, the construction industry has shown a great deal of openness to utilizing novel and innovative technologies. The industry's complexity necessitates cooperative and efficient process management. Utilizing value-adding technologies is crucial in that regard. Among them, blockchain has recently gained prominence as an enabling technology for smart contracts, and secure data management for the construction industry. This study employs a structural equation model to quantify the relationship between risk management (RM), a key project management activity, and blockchain technology. To this end, a survey was created and distributed to construction professionals. A structural equation modeling analysis was performed on the data collected from 103 respondents. The findings show that construction project RM can be significantly affected by key blockchain features. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by presenting a conceptual framework that captures the essential elements of RM and blockchain. The results also empirically show that RM and blockchain are closely related, confirming blockchain's potential and relevance in RM applications. In this article, we also discuss the risks associated with adopting blockchain in the construction industry. The results of this study can help construction practitioners and policy-makers create plans for incorporating blockchain into RM workflows.

Parallel scheduling of complex dags under uncertainty
Authors: G. Malewicz
Year: 2005

This paper introduces a parallel scheduling problem where a directed acyclic graph modeling t tasks and their dependencies needs to be executed on n unreliable workers. Worker i executes task j correctly with probability pi,j. The goal is to find a regimen Ε, that dictates how workers get assigned to tasks (possibly in parallel and redundantly) throughout execution, so as to minimize expected completion time. This fundamental parallel scheduling problem arises in grid computing and project management fields, and has several practical applications.We show a polynomial time algorithm for the problem restricted to the case when dag width is at most a constant and the number of workers is also at most a constant. These two restrictions may appear to be too severe. However, they are fundamentally required. Specifically, we demonstrate that the problem is NP-hard with constant number of workers when dag width can grow, and is also NP-hard with constant dag width when the number of workers can grow. When both dag width and the number of workers are unconstrained, then the problem is inapproximable within factor less than 5/4, unless P=NP.

The Agile Methodology is a term which refers to a method of software development that is incremental and iterative in nature and is used to manage and incorporate constantly changing needs. This entails decomposing the entire development process cycle into a series of tasks. The process is further divided into a number of sub-tasks, each function is independently. The Agile Development technique, which is a popular and growth-oriented strategy, provides not only speedy project delivery, but also software responsiveness, which leads to total corporate growth and agility. The organization's project management capabilities and performance are improved through the adoption of Agile practices. In their business, the companies employ Agile methods. As a result, the goal of this study is to see how effective agile approaches are in Bangladeshi software organizations. A survey of established software companies in Bangladesh is being conducted to accomplish the objective. The Scrum and XP agile technique is the most widely used according to the findings. It is proposed that Scrum and the XP model be combined to achieve maximum effectiveness and overcome their respective limits.

ABSTRACT Information systems outsourcing has not only become prevalent but also involves an increasingly wide range of activities beyond the traditional programming, testing, documentation, and localization activities to include complex business-focused project planning, process design, requirements determination, and logical and physical systems designs. Such complex IS outsourcing often requires interactions among various stakeholders across different locations and cultures and therefore is much more difficult to manage than the traditional IS outsourcing. Coordination and control have been viewed as especially important project management strategies for managing project activities; however, little research has focused on how they relate to each other and how they collectively affect the performance of complex IS outsourcing projects. In this study, we examine the differential performance effects of outcome and behavior controls on coordination and show that the effect of outcome control on project performance is mediated by coordination.

Year: 2024

Objective: Quality healthcare service provision is crucial for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 on universal health and well-being. However, a noticeable gap exists in the literature regarding the essential role of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) practices in planning, data collection, reporting, and results dissemination of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) services. The objective was to investigate extent to which the perceptions of healthcare workers influence on M&E practices. 
  
Theoretical Framework: The program theory was applied as it provides a framework for planning, implementation, and evaluation of interventions by identifying the pathways through which these outcomes are achieved. A retrospective cross-sectional survey design was used as it leverages complementary methodologies. The high consensus levels highlighted the universality of this perspective within the healthcare community. A moderate positive correlation and a significant relationship between the two variables was observed. Theoretically, it showed how the perceived contribution of M&E offers a conceptual framework for analyzing and evaluating interventions toward project effectiveness. 
  
Results and Discussion: Variations in healthcare infrastructure, resources, and patient demographics across regions could influence the applicability of the results. The practical, methodological and theoretical implications of this research provide insights into how the results can be applied. 
  
Research Implications: This study contributes to the literature through practical contributions by identifying progress and challenges throughout the healthcare system to provide. 
  
Originality/Value: The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by guiding stakeholders, project managers and implementers in improving their M&E systems, allowing for better resource mobilization, and planning, by documenting and replicating successful interventions.

Year: 2021

: Currently, we record unemployment due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing regulations in temporary employment scenarios. It is almost inevitable for companies in the personnel services industry to use a supporting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to manage their internal processes. Lots of them are starting to use cloud-based ERP systems as a service (SaaS) with the benefit of getting a ready developed solution adapted to the industry, as well as a time and cost-saving implementation. This paper elaborates on the success factors of cloud-based ERP systems implementation at personnel service companies. To determine these, the authors use the qualitative method of expert interviews to find out more about the given topic. Based on the explanation of the industry of personnel services, ERP systems in the cloud and success factors derived from literature are described. Later on, the design, implementation, and interpretation of the expert interviews, if given – followed by the study’s outcomes. The success factors are determined by inductive category formation. Besides the factor “process survey” as the most important one, factors like "project team and project management", "project planning", “data privacy issues”, "trainingänd "compliance conformity” are mentioned factors by the experts. For a successful implementation, all factors should be considered or at least kicked out with consciousness. Based on the empirical results, the authors have drawn up some recommendations to consult personnel service companies in a successful cloud-based ERP implementation.
