Abstract

PurposeThe present article analyses extreme context studies published in leading project management journals with the aim of developing a time-based typology that could be of value for the project community at large.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors reviewed 62 articles on extreme contexts published in three main project management journals (IJMPB, PMJ and IJPM) and two specialized outlets Disaster Prevention and Management (DPM) and International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment (IJDRBE).FindingsThe authors present a typology, in which emergency, risky and disrupted (RED) contexts are related to the manageability of time. It shows that when pressure rises, due to high levels of urgency, uncertainty and ambiguity, control over time decreases, causing the organizational response to shift from formalized into improvised.Research limitations/implicationsBased on this review, the authors theorize the influence of extreme contexts on project management in general.Originality/valueThe study responds to the scholarly call to advance the academic debate on the relatedness of project and temporary organizations by perceiving temporality as a continuum.

综合项目管理期刊中的极端情境研究：引入基于时间的项目管理类型

本文分析了发表在主要项目管理期刊上的极端情境研究，目的是开发一种基于时间的类型学，这种类型学可能对整个项目社区有价值。在本研究中，作者回顾了发表在三个主要项目管理期刊(IJMPB, PMJ和IJPM)和两个专业出版物灾害预防与管理(DPM)和国际建筑环境灾害恢复能力期刊(IJDRBE)上的62篇关于极端环境的文章。研究结果作者提出了一种类型，其中紧急、危险和中断(RED)环境与时间的可管理性有关。它表明，当压力上升时，由于高度的紧迫性、不确定性和模糊性，随着时间的推移，控制会减少，导致组织反应从形式化转变为临时应变。在此综述的基础上，作者将极端情境对项目管理的影响理论化。独创性/价值本研究通过将暂时性视为一个连续体来回应学术呼吁，推动关于项目和临时组织之间关系的学术辩论。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Managing Projects in Business seeks to advance the theory, research and practice of all aspects of project management. IJMPB is looking for top quality theoretical and empirical research with the aims of: promoting the understanding of project management and; encouraging the publication of novel project management insights using multidisciplinary approaches rooted in social sciences. The journal provides a much-needed resource involved in project management by exploring new avenues not often addressed in the field of project management.
