Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to define the integration capability dimensions and create a model for self-assessing the integration capability in inter-organizational projects.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical construct of, referred in this study as integration capability framework is elaborated following a systematic literature review. Thereafter, an integration capability self-assessment model, based on maturity thinking, is derived from the theoretical framework. The self-assessment model is further developed and tested for validity within five inter-organizational project networks in cooperation with industry practitioners, representing construction, industrial engineering, and mining sectors.FindingsThe results show that inter-organizational projects can use the developed model in self-assessing the maturity levels of various integration mechanisms, thus the state of integration capability at any point in time during inter-organizational projects.Originality/valueThis study is an attempt to identify how the integration capability dimensions can be self-assessed in inter-organizational projects, through the maturity levels of various integration mechanisms. The results offer insights for both academics and project management practitioners.

定义集成能力维度，并为组织间项目创建相应的自我评估模型

目的本文的目的是定义组织间项目的集成能力维度，并建立一个组织间项目集成能力自评估模型。设计/方法论/方法在系统的文献综述后，阐述了本研究中称为整合能力框架的理论结构。在此基础上，从理论框架出发，建立了基于成熟度思维的整合能力自我评估模型。与代表建筑、工业工程和采矿部门的行业从业者合作，在五个组织间项目网络中进一步开发和测试了自我评估模型的有效性。结果表明，组织间项目可以使用所开发的模型来自我评估各种集成机制的成熟度水平，从而评估组织间项目中任何时间点的集成能力状态。独创性/价值本研究试图通过各种整合机制的成熟度水平，确定如何在组织间项目中自我评估整合能力维度。研究结果为学术界和项目管理从业者提供了见解。

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.
