Abstract

For complex and major infrastructure construction projects, relational governance and the importance of collaboration between project partners have led to the emergence of collaborative project delivery models. While collaboration has been studied from different perspectives, few studies focus on how collaboration is maintained and developed over time in major construction projects. Sensemaking is used as a theoretical lens to give more insight in how project actors give and make sense in relation to collaboration. Through a longitudinal case study with interviews (42) and observations, events, triggers and sensebreakers that stimulate sensemaking and sensegiving in the project are discussed. The study contributes with an empirical insight in how project actors make sense of collaboration through sensegiving, stimulating a sensemaking process while also exploring the influence of triggers and sensebreakers on this process. It underscores the dynamic and evolving nature of collaboration within the project context through sensemaking.
搞好重大基础设施建设项目协同合作
对于复杂和主要的基础设施建设项目,关系治理和项目伙伴之间协作的重要性导致了协作项目交付模型的出现。虽然从不同的角度研究了协作,但很少有研究关注在重大建设项目中如何随着时间的推移保持和发展协作。意义构建被用作一个理论视角,以更深入地了解项目参与者如何在合作中给予和产生意义。通过访谈(42)和观察的纵向案例研究,讨论了项目中刺激意义构建和意义赋予的事件、触发因素和意义破坏因素。该研究为项目参与者如何通过意义赋予、刺激意义创造过程来理解合作提供了实证见解,同时也探索了触发因素和意义破坏因素对这一过程的影响。它强调了通过语义构建在项目环境中协作的动态和不断发展的本质。
