Theory Use in Project Management Research: An Exploratory Content Analysis Approach.
Authors: E. Karanja; J. Zaveri; Angela K Miles; Steven Day
Year: 2024

The frequency and richness of the theories developed, tested, and used by researchers in an academic discipline exemplify several pertinent factors, namely, the growth, the maturity, the independence, the legitimacy, and the influence of the discipline. Although organizations have been working on projects for centuries, Project Management (PM) is a considerably new academic discipline with emerging research themes, models, methodologies, frameworks, and paradigms. These PM concepts are anchored on or reinforced by new or existing theories. This exploratory study aims to add to the existing PM body of knowledge by investigating the prevalence of theory use in PM research. A systematic content analysis of 9200 PM research articles published from 2000 to 2019 (20 years) in the leading PM journals identified 248 unique theories. These results reveal that the PM discipline is increasingly embracing the use of theories with game theory, fuzzy theory, agency theory, contingency theory, and stakeholder theory emerging as the most dominant theories in the reviewed research articles. Also, although PM is developing its theories, the results revealed that PM researchers continue to heavily use theories borrowed from other academic disciplines such as psychology, sociology, mathematics, and economics.
Complexity in the Context of Systems Approach to Project Management
Authors: A. Botchkarev; P. Finnigan
Year: 2014

Complexity is an inherent attribute of any project. The purpose of defining and documenting complexity is to enable a project team to foresee resulting challenges in a timely manner, and take steps to alleviate them. The main contribution of this article is to present a systematic view of complexity in project management by identifying its key attributes and classifying complexity by these attributes. A “complexity taxonomy” is developed and discussed within three levels: the product, the project and the external environment. Complexity types are described through simple real-life examples. Then a framework (tool) is developed for applying the notion of complexity as an early warning tool. The article is intended for researchers in complexity, project management, information systems, technology solutions and business management, and also for information specialists, project managers, program managers, financial staff and technology directors.
Measuring Competency of Pharmacy Residents: A Survey of Residency Programs' Methods for Assessment and Evaluation.
Authors: Steven J Kary; Zack Dumont; Kirsten Tangedal; J. Bolt; W. Semchuk
Year: 2019

Background
The Canadian Pharmacy Residency Board (CPRB) specifies the competencies that pharmacy residents must attain and the need for assessment and evaluation. Methods of assessment and evaluation are left to the discretion of individual programs. There is a scarcity of published literature compiling and comparing the strategies used by Canadian residency programs.


Objectives
To determine curricular components used for assessment and evaluation; to describe the tools used by programs; to characterize the scheduling, frequency, and repetition of curricular components; and to determine the individuals or groups involved.


Methods
Coordinators of hospital pharmacy residency programs with CPRB accreditation or accreditation pending were surveyed to collect information about the assessment and evaluation of select CPRB standards.


Results
From the 37 eligible residency programs, 20 unique responses (54%) were received. All respondents were general practice programs (100%) in predominantly multicentre organizations (70%). Programs were similar in terms of assessment components used, with all respondents citing care plan review, direct observation of patient care, journal clubs, creation of project timelines, and ethics submission. The predominant evaluation components were within-department presentations (100%), written manuscripts (95%), drug information rotations (85%), and longitudinal evaluations (75%). Standardized forms (70%-100%) defined by Bloom's taxonomy (65%) and the CPRB "levels and ranges" document (60%) were the principle means used. Assessments for patient care and for provision of education were generally carried out immediately (80% and 95%, respectively), whereas project management skills were assessed predominantly at final evaluation (75%). Self-assessment and assessment by pharmacy team members occurred for every competency, whereas patients (0%-10%) and allied health professionals (5%) were less frequently involved.


Conclusions
The assessment and evaluation strategies reported by programs were congruent. The results provide a summary of national practices and will allow existing and developing programs to examine their approach to assessment and evaluation for alignment with national standards.

Year: 2023

Globalization activates qualitative changes in multiple economic entities and requires the development of alternative forms of business organization. At present, one of the most promising development tracks is represented by the implementation of network structures, aimed at achieving common goals and obtaining a win-win outcome via joint effort. Business structures that invite dynamic and consistent transformations on a wide scale prove to be able to successfully compete in the market. In this regard, a project management system at a medical hub serves as a vital tool for implementation of open innovation. Participation in the medical hub allows coordinating intentions and establishing aligned communication between all stakeholders, suppliers and private institutions. In modern sectors of the economy, a developing hub becomes a unique structure, because it unites the contributions of the most important healthcare specialists in a single framework. This research examines the structure of healthcare business process models, and scrutinizes the communication between suppliers, partners and consumers of medical services. It also defines the main directions and outlines strategic goals. Assessment of performance of a project management system at a medical hub proves to be the issue of particular relevance, due to the fact that its tasks should be primarily aimed at increasing the share of successful projects and implementing only those ones that comply with the strategy. Based on the latter, a model for the project management system at a medical hub was designed. As a result, the authors developed an assessment mechanism for innovative projects using SNA methods that align with intra-communication interactions (transactions) between the participants in a medical hub. The conducted research allows concluding that in the current era of cutting-edge technologies, the project management system should be considered the most effective management tool for coordinating the actions of a corporate structure at a medical hub.
Analysing the effect of multicultural workforce/teams on construction productivity

Purpose
Prodigious teamwork is the basis for augmenting the level of productivity on construction projects. Globalisation of the construction market has meant that many practitioners work outside of their geographical spectrum; however, the multicultural dissimilarities of construction workforces within the project management team (and how these may impact upon project productivity performance) have been given scant academic attention. To bridge this knowledge gap, this paper aims to analyse the effects of a multicultural workforce on construction productivity.


Design/methodology/approach
The epistemological positioning of the research adopted mixed philosophies (consisting of both interpretivism and postpositivism) to undertake a deductive and cross-sectional survey to collate primary quantitative data collected via a closed-ended structured questionnaire. Census sampling and convenience sampling techniques were adopted to target Ghana’s construction workforce and their opinions of the phenomenon under investigation. Out of 96 questionnaires administered, 61 were retrieved. The data obtained were analysed by using mean score ranking, relative important index, one sample t-test and multiple regression. The reliability of the scale was checked by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.


Findings
From the t-test analysis, 11 variables sourced from extant literature, and the null hypothesis for the study was not rejected and all factors (except high cost of training and improper gender diversity management) were affirmed as negative effects of the multicultural workforce on construction productivity. Using multiple regression analysis, six of the independent variables were shown to impact upon productivity. The goodness of fit was verified by collinearity and residual analysis. The model’s validation revealed a relatively high predictive accuracy (R2 = 0. 589), implying that the results could be generalized. In culmination, these findings suggest that the predictors can be used to accurately predict the effects of multicultural workforce on construction productivity performance.


Practical implications
The findings indicate that multicultural workforce/teams have a substantial effect on overall construction productivity in the construction sector; consequently, stakeholders must address this issue to enhance productivity across the sector.


Originality/value
The current study significantly contributes to our understanding of how multicultural workers/teams affect construction productivity in the construction business perspective and how to respond to the negative menace.
The Evaluation of Short-Term Water Misting of Room Air in Reducing Airborne Dust after Renovation Work
Authors: Anna Kokkonen; Maija Väänänen; A. Säämänen; P. Pasanen
Year: 2018

OBJECTIVE
To shorten the time for airborne dust concentration to be reduced to a lower level after a renovation task has been completed, a short-term water misting method was assessed. A short-term water misting method is based on low water consumption to avoid harmful wetting of materials. The method is considered similar to a general ventilation method that dilutes work-generated airborne dust concentrations. Thus, short-term misting is not intended to replace the source control measures.


METHODS
Airborne dust removal by the short-term water misting performed after dust generation was evaluated in a controlled laboratory settings by comparing PM10 decay and inhalable dust concentrations between a control and misting tests (average water flow = 0.22 l min-1) of 2 and 4 min. A portable handheld misting device was used. The practicability and effectiveness of the misting technique as a supplementary control measure was verified in the three field cases.


RESULTS
In laboratory tests, reductions in airborne PM10 and inhalable dust were 30% and 28%, avoiding condensation of water to surfaces. In the field, inhalable dust concentrations were reduced by 86-95% after an hour from the misting, whereas ventilation alone was calculated to dilute dust concentrations by 18-39%. Average clean air delivery rates varied from 0.03 to 0.07 m3 s-1.


CONCLUSIONS
Short-term misting after a dust-generating task is an effective measure to control the airborne dust after dust-producing tasks in environments where an effective air exchange for dust removal is not a feasible alternative. The information obtained from the study is beneficial to construction and renovation project management personnel and field practitioners.
Web 2.0 Technologies in Project Management: A Proposal of a Benefits Dependency Network
Authors: M. Chaves; C. Pedron
Year: 2015

One of the most challenging issues in Project Management is dealing with Lessons Learned, which are present throughout the project. Web 2.0 technologies, e.g. wikis, blogs and social networks, can support the processes of collecting, storing, sharing, applying and reusing Lessons Learned in a project. Using such technologies to manage Lessons Learned evolve changes and technology implementation. Benefits Dependency Network, proposed by the Cranfield School of Management, works backwards from the project's objectives to ensure that all necessary project changes are made, as well as any necessary Information Technology implementation completed. This paper proposes a Benefits Dependency Network (BDN) to support the insertion of Web 2.0 technologies in Project Management focusing on Lessons Learned. Moreover, it also presents examples of measures of each type of benefits, which helps managers to better evaluate the investment.
Prediction of project activity delays caused by variation orders: a machine-learning approach
Authors: Mirza Muntasir Nishat; Sander Magnussen Neraas; A. Marsov; Nils O.E. Olsson
Year: 2024


 Project activity delays caused by variation orders (VOs) can compromise the achievement of timely project completion. Previous research on machine learning (ML) applications for delay predictions has mainly been concerned with delays on a whole project level, whereas predictions of delays in individual project activities have received less attention. This study is a pilot study to investigate how data from large project databases can be used for an ML analysis. The application is aimed at providing early warnings of delays related to VOs in construction projects. The study was performed following typical ML model development steps including data collection, data preprocessing, model training, and testing. A compound dataset was retrieved from project-planning software utilised in a large project. Four pilot tree-based ML models, namely, Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost, and Gradient Boosting, were trained and tested on a pre-processed dataset comprising 11194 activities. The overall best-performing model was Random Forest with 92.7% and 91.8% recall on DELAYED START and DELAYED FINISH, respectively. By emphasizing that project participants’ competency and personal accountability might influence the timely implementation of scope adjustments, these findings advance the field of project management research. An approach like the use of tree-based ML algorithms is applicable for analyses of individual activities in other construction projects. Considering the capability of ML algorithms to capture complex interconnections in raw data extracted from project-planning software, further development of such ML models will enable the establishment of an AI-based Early Warning System (EWS) that can flag potential delays caused by VO requests.
Construction Project Manager’s Emotional Intelligence and Team Effectiveness: The Mediating Role of Team Cohesion and the Moderating Effect of Time
Authors: Qi Zhang; Shengyue Hao
Year: 2022

The emotional intelligence of a construction project manager plays an essential role in project management, and recent developments in teamwork have increased the need to explore better ways to utilize teams and achieve effectiveness in the construction sector. However, research that holds the team-level perspective in emotional intelligence studies is lacking, and the mechanism of the construction project manager’s emotional intelligence on team effectiveness remains unexplored. This knowledge gap is addressed by developing a model that illuminates how construction project manger’s emotional intelligence can affect team effectiveness via the mediation of team cohesion and the moderation of project team duration. A questionnaire survey was utilized to gather information from construction project teams across 156 leader-member dyads in the Chinese construction industry. The results reveal that construction project manager’s emotional intelligence is positively related to team effectiveness and the team cohesion mediates this cause and effect. Further, project team duration moderates the relationship between team cohesion and effectiveness. This study offers new insight into how project manager can better lead team members toward desired team outcomes from a team perspective and makes an explorative effort in investigating the “time” role in construction project management.

Year: 2015

Summary This paper describes a model of training in leadership and project management skills for advanced trainees, using educational projects within the Severn School of Psychiatry. Fellowships lasting 1 year have been developed to enable trainees, working with a senior consultant trainer associated with the School of Psychiatry, to support important new educational initiatives. Linkage with the local university training and learning for health professionals research module has provided academic support for the trainees and the projects. Four examples for the first year of the programme are described and feedback from structured interviews with participants is presented. The development of the fellowships appears to have had wider benefits, in developing educational faculty in the School of Psychiatry and the trainees involved have had opportunities to extend their project management and leadership skills. The fellowship programme is continuing to develop, based on feedback from its first successful year.
A Bayesian, Nonlinear Particle Filtering Approach for Tracking the State of Terrorist Operations
Authors: G. A. Godfrey; J. Cunningham; Tuan Tran
Year: 2007

In this paper, we describe a novel approach to track the progress of suspected terrorist operations and to optimize courses of action to delay or disrupt these operations. The approach uses Monte Carlo sampling and Bayesian, nonlinear particle filtering to estimate the state (schedule) of a terrorist operation. The operation is specified in the form of a project management model (such as a Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) model) with uncertain task durations. We describe the underlying algorithms for performing the estimation given a set of observables of variable quality, and evaluate the effectiveness of the techniques through a series of numerical experiments that include a wide range of data characteristics.
Dealing with Competing Project Management Values under Uncertainty: the Case of RandstadRail
Authors: M. Leijten; J. Koppenjan; E. Heuvelhof; W. Veeneman; H. V. D. Voort
Year: 2010

Due to the uncertainty involved in many complex infrastructure engineering projects, it is not always possible for managers to establish detailed terms of reference at the departure. Although the flexibility of ‘open’ terms of reference is often indispensible, it makes the arrival at a successful outcome much of a gamble. Complex infrastructure construction projects often include the tension that the values and interests of clients and functional managers diverge or even contradict each other. This is especially evident when managing the project management values of time, cost, scope and quality in relation to each other while the results of trade-offs and decisions can not be predicted. Client’s administrators defend objectifiable, instrumental values, while functional managers have an interest in relaxing them in order to realise the project. If these two contradictory sets of interests are not recalibrated, either the values are not met, or trade-offs may be made in an uncontrolled way, which can lead to suboptimisations or even project failure. Using RandstadRail as an example, this paper will show the problems that may occur in such situations and how unmanageability arises. A few lessons are derived to provide entrance to better manageable practice.
Identifying trouble patterns in complex IT services engagements

Year: 2010

What causes complex information technology services engagements to fail? The root cause for the failure may derive from several sources, including unclear requirements, poor project management practices, underestimation of technical complexity, not accounting for the overhead in using global labor arbitrage, and rapid scope or schedule changes. In this paper, we explore how quantifiable measures of project progress gathered at several important stages of the life cycle of a project can aid in early identification of troubled projects. Specifically, we define derived statistical measures that can be used to predict the eventual outcome of a project. These predictions are used to initiate accelerated risk mitigation plans. In addition to the discussion surrounding the prediction models, we also discuss the importance of the "packaging" and presentation of the statistical data that result in the successful use of our system. Our work has been adopted and used in a project health management system that is deployed worldwide by IBM Global Business Services.
What Is Technical About Technical Editing?
Authors: Joanna Schreiber
Year: 2024

Background: This article reflects on the nature of technical editing alongside descriptive data from editors and editing instructors. Literature review: Technical editing is rarely the focus of scholarship in the field, and broader studies in emerging content trends and project management practices rarely address implications for technical editing. Studies that have touched on technical editing have also noted emerging roles, but the implications of these roles remain underexplored. Though editing has long been a prominent course in technical and professional communication (TPC) programs, little scholarship is devoted to developing pedagogies. Research questions: 1. What are the features of technical editing in industry and in the classroom? 2. What tasks, subject matter, topics, and roles are associated with technical editing in the classroom and in industry? Research methodology: I present survey data from editors and editing instructors from a larger study on trends in technical and professional editing. In this article, I focus on the types of content that editors take on, the types of editing that they do, the industries in which they work, and their job titles. Alongside these data, I present data from editing teachers, including the topics and roles that they include in their courses. Results and conclusions: The field has an important role to play in theorizing professional and technical editing, including attending to quality as a distinguishing characteristic, drawing from and shaping other TPC knowledge domains, and directly addressing accessibility. I conclude by identifying avenues for future research in technical editing and the ways in which we might think more critically about how we use and define technical editing in the classroom and the workplace.
