Abstract

The dominant narrative of project risk management pays homage to scientific rationality while conceptualizing risk as objective fact. Yet doubts remain regarding the extent to which the advocated quantitative techniques are used in practice. An established counternarrative advocates the importance of intuition and subjective judgment. New insights are developed by conceptualizing risk as a narrative construct used for the purposes of identity work. Project-based practitioners are seen to mobilize resources from competing narratives to meet the transient expectations of those with whom they interact. Ultimately, they tend to emphasize approaches that sustain their ascribed identities as custodians of rationality.

项目风险管理叙事:从科学理性到身份工作的话语性

项目风险管理的主流叙事在将风险概念化为客观事实的同时，向科学理性致敬。然而，对于所提倡的定量技术在实践中的应用程度，仍然存在疑问。一个既定的反叙事主张直觉和主观判断的重要性。通过将风险概念化为用于身份工作目的的叙事结构，可以开发新的见解。以项目为基础的从业者被视为从竞争性叙述中调动资源，以满足与他们互动的人的短暂期望。最终，他们倾向于强调维持他们作为理性守护者的身份的方法。

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.
