Abstract

This study explores the antecedents of knowledge utilization, specifically tacit knowledge, leading to improvisation in rescue projects confronted with turbulent situations. We used semistructured interviews and observations to collect data in a large public-sector rescue organization. Findings reveal that improvisation is an essential part of projects in turbulent situations bounded by time limitations; resource constraint factors, such as lack of technology, information, resources, and rugged terrains; and collectivistic societal and cultural issues. Rescue workers improvise through sensemaking, problem identification, and tacit knowledge utilization to handle emergencies.

动荡环境中的即兴创作：一个救援项目组织的探索性案例研究

本研究探讨了在面临动荡局势的救援项目中，利用知识（特别是隐性知识）导致随机应变的先决条件。我们采用半结构式访谈和观察法，在一个大型公共部门救援组织中收集数据。研究结果表明，在动荡局势中，即兴发挥是项目的重要组成部分，这些动荡局势受到时间限制、资源限制因素（如缺乏技术、信息、资源和崎岖地形）以及集体主义社会和文化问题的制约。救援人员通过感知、发现问题和利用隐性知识来即兴处理紧急情况。

期刊介绍： Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management. Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise. PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
