Understanding Factors Influencing Project Managers’ Behavioral Intentions to Reduce Waste in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Although investigating project stakeholders’ waste reduction intentions and behaviors has gained increasing attention in construction projects, limited efforts have been devoted to understanding behavioral intentions of ... -
Role of Management Strategies in Improving Labor Productivity in General Construction Projects in New Zealand: Managerial Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study aimed to quantify the effectiveness of a set of implemented management strategies including incentive programs, labor management, training, communication, supervision, planning, resource scheduling, use of ... -
How to Improve Interface Management Behaviors in EPC Projects: Roles of Formal Practices and Social Norms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Interface management (IM) has emerged as an effective strategy to reduce interface-related issues and risks by facilitating communication and coordination among diverse parties, particularly in engineering, procurement, ... -
Identifying the Role of Supply Chain Integration Practices in the Adoption of Systemic Innovations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The construction industry structure resists the adoption of systemic innovations because they cross professional and trade specializations, break industry standards, and redefine how existing modules are produced or fit ... -
Integrating the Input of Stakeholders in Infrastructure Risk Assessment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Dynamics associated with the involvement of multiple stakeholders with conflicting objectives often result in significant delays and cost overruns. Lack of a systematic approach to integrate input of a wide range of ... -
Game Theory–Based Analysis of Decision Making for Coastal Adaptation under Multilateral Participation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Climate change has a different impact on each member of society. To reduce the damage caused by climate change, adaptation activities are being initiated, such as expanding the capacity of social infrastructures, and each ... -
Critical Factors of Effective Public Participation in Sustainable Energy Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Lack of public acceptance of renewable energy technology delays and impedes the attainment of new energy goals. Public participation, which aims to reduce conflicts and enhance public understanding of renewable energy ... -
Managing Construction Projects through Dynamic Modeling: Reviewing the Existing Body of Knowledge and Deriving Future Research Directions
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)To improve decision making in construction projects, dynamic models have been developed to grasp the complex project dynamics that traditional scheduling and decision-making techniques miss. However, each of the existing ... -
Nexus of Interorganizational Trust, Principled Negotiation, and Joint Action for Improved Cost Performance: Survey of Chinese Megaprojects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Drawing on the theory of relational governance, this study determined the nexus of interorganizational trust, principled negotiation, and joint action in cost performance. To this end, five hypotheses were formulated based ... -
CEO Narcissism, Public Concern, and Megaproject Social Responsibility: Moderated Mediating Examination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Megaproject social responsibility (MSR) has become one of the critical strategic factors related to the sustainable development of megaprojects, but the question of which factors effectively drive MSR and how these factors ... -
Corporate Misconduct Prediction with Support Vector Machine in the Construction Industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Corporate misconduct may lead to severe economic loss and even fatal injuries to workers and residents in the construction industry. Previous studies have proven that board composition in organizations can be related to ... -
Asset Specificity and Contractors’ Opportunistic Behavior: Moderating Roles of Contract and Trust
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)In construction projects, contractors often engage in opportunistic behavior. This research aims to examine the effect of asset specificity on contractors’ opportunistic behavior (strong form and weak form), including ... -
How Conflict Occurs and What Causes Conflict: Conflict Analysis Framework for Public Infrastructure Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study proposes a conflict analysis framework to investigate how conflict occurs and what causes conflict by considering the characteristics of public infrastructure projects. The conflict occurrence process over ... -
Exploring Internationally Operated Construction Projects through the Critical Incident Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The success of firms venturing into new construction markets overseas largely depends upon their managers’ and employees’ understanding of potential problems that can occur in unfamiliar project settings. The objective of ... -
Impact of Institutional Pressures on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors for the Environment: Evidence from Megaprojects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)A brisk building boom of megaprojects leads to a wide range of environmental problems, particularly in developing countries such as China. To prevent environmental problems effectively, megaprojects require proactive ... -
Dynamic Capabilities of Project-Based Organization in Global Operations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Project-based organizations are a unique organizational form where business activities are implemented and managed around temporary projects. The aim of this research was to better understand how project-based organizations ... -
Lifecycle Data Modeling to Support Transferring Project-Oriented Data to Asset-Oriented Systems in Transportation Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)Construction projects are key sources of data changes made to a transportation asset management system (TAMS). Because projects create new assets or modify existing ones, corresponding edits are required to ensure that the ... -
Achieving a Construction Barrier–Free Environment: Decision Support to Policy Selection
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)The construction barrier removal (for the physically disabled) policy selection is a complex task and a vital part of the planning phase within the management of such construction projects. This paper deals with design of ... -
Role of Performance Feedback on Process Performance in Construction Projects: Client and Contractor Perspectives
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2018)This study addressed a perceived research gap by examining the role of performance feedback in construction process performance from both client and contractor perspectives using a database of unprecedented scale, with ... -
Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Construction Megaprojects
