Methodology for Creating Empirically Supported Agent-Based Simulation with Survey Data for Studying Group Behavior of Construction Workers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Construction workers’ attitudes and behaviors are one of the most important factors of a construction project’s performance. As the attention paid to the impact of social influences and norms on worker behavior grows, ...
Role of Social Norms and Social Identifications in Safety Behavior of Construction Workers. I: Theoretical Model of Safety Behavior under Social Influence
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Identifying Workers’ Safety Behavior–Related Personality by Sensing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many construction accidents are caused by workers’ unsafe behavior, and evidence suggests that individuals who are not sensitive to risks are accident-prone. Therefore, identifying workers with certain personal characteristics ...
Construction Workers’ Group Norms and Personal Standards Regarding Safety Behavior: Social Identity Theory Perspective
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A number of researchers have proposed and demonstrated that worker behavior is one of the main factors in construction safety. Working within the parameters of worker safety awareness and behavior, many researchers have ...
Finding Causal Paths between Safety Management System Factors and Accident Precursors
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Understanding the causal relationships between safety management system (SMS) factors and accident precursors helps construction organizations identify which factors require improvement upon observing an accident precursor. ...
Understanding Occupants’ Physical Distancing Behavior for Safer Facility Operation under COVID-19 in the Context of Educational Facilities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the role of facility managers in controlling and limiting the spread of the virus among facility occupants is critical. To enable facility managers to design and evaluate the effectiveness ...
Comparison of Worker Safety Risks between Onsite and Offsite Construction Methods: A Site Management Perspective
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many researchers, as well as industry practitioners, believe that offsite construction methods are associated with a lower level of worker safety risks than traditional onsite construction methods. This study aims to test ...
Structuration Model of Construction Management Professionals’ Use of Mobile Devices
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The use of mobile devices in construction projects has increasingly become common in many countries. Although researchers have investigated how mobile devices can help construction management professionals, previous research ...
Schedule Delay Leading Indicators in Precast Concrete Construction Projects: Qualitative Comparative Analysis of Korean Cases
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper analyzed 19 precast concrete (PC) construction project cases from Korea using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to explore the relationship between the conditions of PC projects, observable at an early ...
Mobile ICT–Induced Informal Work in the Construction Industry: Boundary Management Approaches and Consequences
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A healthy work–life balance is paramount for all employees in today’s fiercely competitive and stressful work environments. However, work–life balance can be a challenging goal to achieve for construction management ...
