Assessment of technology adoption in construction safety management: Case study in China
Authors: Jinjing Xu; Jintao Li; Xiaohong Chen
Year: 2024

The current body of literature indicates that the utilization of emerging digital safety technologies has the potential to enhance the efficacy of safety management in construction significantly. Nevertheless, there has been limited uptake of digital safety technologies within the construction industry in developing countries. This study is focused on evaluating the adoption of digital safety technologies in construction specifically from the perspective of developing countries. Questionnaire data were gathered from project management professionals in China and subjected to analysis using mean ratings, factor analysis, and fuzzy composite evaluation. The developed model for assessing safety technology adoption comprises four primary criterion groups about factors influencing adoption, namely organizational, technological, individual, and external categories. The study results indicate that factors within the technology category exert the most significant influence on the adoption assessment model, followed by those in the external and organizational categories, and finally by individual category factors. These findings contribute to advancing the theory of digital technology adoption in construction safety management research within developing countries. Practitioners can utilize this information to effectively evaluate and compare success rates of safety technology adoption, thereby informing management decisions required for projects. The insights provided by this study will equip practitioners with scientific knowledge for more effective and sustainable program management, ultimately enhancing the success of safety technologies.

Authors: Jane F. Maley; Marina Dabić; Alain Neher; Lucia Wuersch; Lynn Martin; Timothy Kiessling
Year: 2024

PurposeThis conceptual work examines how, in times of post-COVID-19 paradigm shift, the employee performance management (PM) process can help multinational corporations (MNCs) strengthen their talent management and, at the same time, meet their future needs.Design/methodology/approachWe take a conceptual approach and present our perspective on what we see as the most critical trends shaping PM and talent management. Contingency theory and Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA) theory provide a sound theoretical framework for understanding and responding to the complex and rapidly changing business context post-COVID-19.FindingsDrawing on these theories, we create a framework providing a means of understanding why and how MNCs can maintain talent and, at the same time, develop new talent through the PM process.Practical implicationsImportantly, our study emphasizes the critical role that project management and talent management techniques play for both practitioners and scholars. In order to gain and sustain a competitive edge in the ever-changing VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) landscape, these processes necessitate ongoing reassessment and adaptation. As Plato eloquently stated, “Our Need Will Be the Real Creator,” encapsulating our vision for the proactive and dynamic nature of effective project management and talent management practices.Originality/valueThe study establishes the benefits of an agile and flexible PM approach to help develop talent and pave the way for future research in this increasingly critical area
The Impact of Leader-Leader Exchange on Project Success in Non-profit Organisations
Authors: Amin Saidoun; C. Bodea; M. Radujković
Year: 2023

After many years of research on non-profit organisations (NPOs), the success rate of the projects they manage remains low. This is particularly due to the fact that the awareness of the need for project management competences to achieve project success is poor. This paper aims to close this awareness gap. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between leader-leader exchange (LLX), sharing values, result orientation and personal communication as critical project management competences and their impact on project success in NPOs. The research which is based on social exchange and leadership theories, includes a testing of the research model and hypotheses using the structural equation modelling and bootstrap method. Data were collected during a survey organized in March-May 2023 that targeted more than 100 NPOs in order to apply the quantitative research method. The research findings indicate that the mediating variable “Result-Orientation” has a stronger impact on project success than the positive effect “leadership” and “sharing values” have on project success. However, the significance of leadership and sharing values for project success is increased by personal communication as an important moderating variable. The contribution to the science of this paper lies in the fact that the quantitative method was applied for the first time for the impact study with the chosen project management competences on project success. The practical relevance of the research is to encourage the adoption of social exchange and leadership theories in NPOs, to increase project contribution to civil society.

Authors: Alessandro Orsi; T. Abdelhamid; E. Pellicer; Ignacio Guillén-Guillamón
Year: 2021

Question: Using a Lean approach to classify issues, or wastes, experienced during the different design processes, what sustainability-related activities affect the project design development stage. Purpose: The objective of this paper is to create a new lean-based approach to analyze the design process and quantify the negative effect of detected project-management issues on the project’s main resources, categorized through three different variables: costs, time and sustainability. Research Method: The research makes full use of a Lean approach intended as a standardized method to identify project wastes, classify the issues experienced during the different design processes and ultimately propose possible solutions for process optimization. The Lean approach was used as the basis to study four case studies wherein real projects were developed in different European countries under the LEED and BREEAM reference standards. The projects were analyzed against a set of guidelines developed by the Researchers with the aim of avoiding the replication of such issues in future projects. The analysis took into consideration all sustainability-related activities that affected the project design development. Findings: By identifying and estimating the effects of each issue on the project variables, researchers could rank their negative impact on the project budget, schedule and level of sustainability. The ranking allowed isolating which issues, or categories of issues, had the worst impact on the overall project from both qualitative and quantitative points of view. These research goals were achieved through the implementation of the Lean method and philosophy. Limitations: Among the main challenges related to time-variance analysis. Estimating the delay of single activities impact was sometimes difficult and ambiguous because it relied on other activities for which dependency could not be calculated. Limitations related to cost-variance analysis involved indirect costs that were difficult to estimate because they were neither related to any written document nor any formal activity or event of the project. The present research takes into consideration only four case-study projects and therefore the related conclusions cannot be generalized for all building projects. Implications: Applying the ranking of the issues identifies to a real project development with limited resources, it would be possible to highlight which problems should be addressed first in order to avoid, or at least limit, their negative impact on the project establishing a set of guidelines for future projects. Value for authors: This study sets the basis for several other research studies in relationship with green-building developments and lean approach. Keywords: Lean Construction, Lean Thinking, Design, Green-Building; Development, Sustainability; Project Management; Waste Paper type: Full paper.
VaR and VaO in project management: A new approach
Authors: Ryszard Węgrzyn
Year: 2024

The purpose of this article is to investigate an approach in which both VaR and value at opportunity (VaO) are used to evaluate projects. VaO in this case answers the question of what is the largest profit a decision-maker can expect at the assumed level of probability. This article presents an approach involving estimating VaO in a new way and the VaO/VaR ratio, which are important when making decisions regarding projects. It also presents a method to determine the probability of achieving a result that is not worse than the adopted goal value (GV). The main advantages of the proposed approach are more information about profit and loss (P&L) distribution and improved communication with stakeholders and decision-makers.

Year: 2021

Due to the consequences of the pandemic caused by the new coronavirus, home office has been adopted by companies to enable the continuity of their activities in an emergency and preventive feature. A survey has been conducted through interviews with ten project managers from multinational IT companies, in order to analyse and understand how project management processes are performed during the development of software projects in home office format. Impacts were identified in different aspects, positively and negatively, in the project management processes. Concerning software development teams, it was possible to observe that the greatest impact is related to communication and start using online tools for daily activities. We have also learned that there are differences between the consequences of the home office and consequences of the pandemic. And there are permanent changes and lessons learned during the management in pandemic. Copyright © 2021 by SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications, Lda.
Preliminary investigation of project success criteria in Norway
Authors: Bassam A. Hussein; S. Ramazani; Sara Haji Kazemi
Year: 2011

The goal of this investigation is to examine the types of project management criteria used in projects in Norway. The results suggest that investigated projects are managed using an incomplete set of success criteria. Projects are poorly aligned with corporate strategies and users needs. They are poorly initiated and focus only on narrow operational goals. The results also indicate that these criteria undergo several changes during the execution phase, which can cause the project to lose focus and generate unwanted outcomes such as delays, unsatisfied users and financial losses.
Assessing the Implementation of ARPA Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: The View from City Officials
Authors: Laiyang Ke; Eunjoo Kwon; Minji Hong; Benedict S. Jimenez
Year: 2025


 The 2021 American Rescue Plan Act created the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), which provided $350 billion for state and local governments to aid with pandemic recovery efforts. This research examines the local implementation of SLFRF from the point of view of city officials. We assess the effectiveness of grant implementation on two dimensions: funding allocation (the ease or difficulty of selecting and prioritizing projects to be funded) and project management (the ability to complete projects on time and within budget). Our research focuses on the contributions of three general groups of factors on grant implementation performance: federal control and oversight, local capacities, and the role of local political actors. We conducted a national survey of cities that received SLFRF grants and gathered information from city officials responsible for administering the grant on different aspects of SLFRF implementation. Using ordinary least squares and ordered logit regressions to analyze the survey data, the empirical results uncover some consistent patterns. Specifically, local management discretion, perceived clarity of federal rules, a centralized local grant administration structure, and mayoral involvement are positively associated with grant implementation effectiveness.
Semi-automatic Generation of Audience-Specific Release Notes
Authors: Sebastian Klepper; Stephan Krusche; B. Brügge
Year: 2016

Agile development methodologies encourage frequent releases. However, many releases can overwhelm clients, testers and users if they do not understand what the actual difference is between two versions. Every release raises questions like whether they need to update right away, whether functionality has been added or problems have been fixed and finally whether it is worth their time to try out a new version. Release notes can alleviate this problem by informing their audience about the contents of a particular release, but the creation of high quality release notes takes time and effort. A release manager needs to have the release`s target audience in mind, access information from project management, issue tracker, and build system and might even need input from designers and developers. We describe a semi-automated approach for generating targeted, informative release notes. Our solution is designed from the point of view of a release manager who acts as an editor of auto-generated content based on information gathered from both build server and issue tracker. Furthermore, it allows release notes to be tailored to a specific audience depending on their specific information needs.

Authors: Abraham Aboneh Bekele; G. Mahesh
Year: 2024

Small and medium contractors (SMCs) significantly contribute to socio-economic development by creating employment opportunities and establishing inter-sectoral links with other sectors of the economy. Despite their significant contribution, evidence suggests their competency is underdeveloped due to several obscuring factors. As a part of a larger research, this study aimed to explore the endogenic factors affecting the sustainable competency of SMCs in the Ethiopian construction industry (CI). A thorough literature review was conducted to identify 65 endogenic factors arising from seven core sources. A questionnaire survey was used to collect the perceptions of industry stakeholders. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis. Findings indicated 63 significant factors affecting sustainable competency and the top factors were: employee’s strategic and operational decision- making power, organisational leadership style, the existence of matured and developed entrepreneurial mindsets, the availability of institutional and business relationships, the inability to access financial resources, the lack of project management skills and low-profit margin due to competition. Factor analysis also identified 17 components. The findings from the study indicate the need to prioritise the areas of competitiveness improvement and the practical implications of making informed decisions for entrepreneurs. The findings of this study can also be used to develop a framework to create a conducive business environment.
Using a Mark-to-Market Valuation Technique to Objectively Measure IT Portfolio Value Creation
Authors: Yu-Hsiang Huang; Eric C. Larson; M. Shaw
Year: 2013

Enterprise executives frequently face the challenge of making decisions under conditions of significant uncertainty when dealing with IT investments, IT project management and realization of intangible organizational benefits enabled by IT. A suitable methodology for accurately estimating the current financial standing of each project in a portfolio of IT projects over the full project lifecycle is useful for IT managers to understand IT value creation and manage the IT projects across the portfolio. In line with this perspective, we propose a Mark-to-Market valuation technique that enables a standardized approach across diverse IT projects that comprise the IT portfolio. Three main contributions may be drawn from this study: 1) the Mark-to-Market approach is a useful valuation technique in the context of IT projects; 2) practitioners may leverage the technique to assess project value and the performance of the IT portfolio over the lifecycle of such projects; and 3) the consistent treatment of each project allows aggregation and applications of standard portfolio management techniques to the practice of IT portfolio management.
