The purpose of the research was to identify the qualities and attributes of project work environments that contribute to the development of a sense of place, and to develop and test a survey instrument designed to measure these qualities and attributes. Characteristics of project work environments with the potential to create a positive wellbeing-promoting sense of place were identified from the extant literature. A survey instrument was developed, drawing on existing validated scales, to measure the extent to which a positive sense of place is present in project work environments. The survey tool was tested in two studies conducted in construction projects in New Zealand. The first study tested the construct validity and reliability of the survey instrument, and the extent to which the proposed components were associated with workers’ positive mental wellbeing. The second study confirmed that the sense of place components are distinct and can be measured reliably using the survey instrument. Organisations can potentially use the survey instrument to evaluate the extent to which project work environments are supportive of workers’ mental wellbeing, and to inform the development of strategies specifically focused on creating work environments that are likely to promote mental wellbeing amongst project workers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 6","pages":"Article 102503"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42627787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigate how these leaders’ attributes are associated with project outcomes, focusing on project leader humility and narcissism. We also analyze two specific mediating mechanisms through which these behavioral traits promote project performance: team member psychological empowerment and fear of failure. The study was conducted in a multinational conglomerate, based on a sample of 67 project leaders and 190 team members, with team outcomes evaluated by project directors. The findings suggest that leader humility and narcissism both directly and indirectly affect project performance. Project leader humility has a positive, direct effect on project cost and positive indirect effects on project time and quality through team empowerment. Project leader narcissism has a negative, direct effect on project cost, a positive, direct effect on projec quality, and a positive indirect effect on project time through team fear of failure. In addition, team fear of failure has a positive direct effect on project cost. We discuss these findings’ theoretical and practical implications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 6","pages":"Article 102500"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48916943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although it has been suggested that project managers rely more on analytical approaches to decision making as opposed to an intuitive mode, there is emerging evidence of project managers using intuitive decision processes. Yet, little is known about how this occurs during the front-end phase, with few attempts to study the underlying cognitive processes and what influences project decision making. This research gap is addressed by interviewing project managers experienced in front-end decision making (<em>n</em> = 16) of large-scale complex projects within the oil and gas industry. Adopting a naturalistic decision-making (NDM) methodology and using a form of cognitive task analysis, a thematic coding of their accounts of decision making during the front end of large complex projects identified key decision processes and influencing factors (drivers). Formal analytical processes (e.g., data-driven calculations, software rating tools) were favoured but, and in line with emerging findings, these experienced project managers also used intuitive decision-making processes, such as pattern recognition and feelings/associative memory. Decision drivers were grouped into 5 clusters - project external factors, project internal factors, social dimensions, individual differences, and time pressures. The findings suggest that project managers should be trained on how to recognise when intuitive decision making is occurring and how to use it while being aware of its strengths, weaknesses and influencing factors. A focus on building descriptive models of actual decision making in complex environments, for the training of project managers, by applying NDM methods will enhance the management of the front end of projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 6","pages":"Article 102502"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48332476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We address those weaknesses by providing an innovative intervention-based research (IBR) study of owner commercial strategy development for a complex project that goes beyond TCE to provide a pluralistic perspective. We show how this pluralistic perspective, which we dub the four forces model, provides the principles for the development of commercial strategy for managing the commercial interface by project owners. We then show how the owner's commercial strategy evolved in the face of capability constraints as it moved through the project lifecycle. We thereby contribute to theory and practice in project organising research first by situating the commercial interface between the owner and the supplier domains of project organising as a central concern in project organising research; second, by providing an empirical basis for the strategic management of the commercial interface by project owners; third by developing a pluralistic perspective on managing the commercial interface from a project owner point of view that moves beyond the current reliance on TCE theory; and fourth by introducing IBR as a novel research method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 6","pages":"Article 102499"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44768610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are of vital importance in order to make a nation grow and develop. Effective project performance in terms of meeting the set objectives is very critical for any project. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of stakeholders on the performance of road construction. \u0000Methodology: Theory of leadership and theory of game backed the literature reviewed in this research. Mixed research design was adopted; thus, data for the research was sourced through questionnaires, direct observation and Oral interview. The collected data was analyzed using percentages, regression tools in Eview8 which were validated by experts in the field of study. \u0000Findings: The result was presented in pie charts and tables. The results from the findings show that 40% of the respondents strongly agreed to the fact that performance of road construction is greatly influenced by proper involvement of stakeholders, 39.6% agreed, 10% disagreed and 10.4% strongly disagreed. The regression result of the response had R2 of 0.154 which means that about 15.4% of road project performance is as a result of proper involvement of stakeholders. \u0000Recommendations: It is recommended that road construction firms should involve all the inputs of stakeholders in the road constructions project from inception to completion so as to have effective road deliveries.","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47819975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the emergent temporal tensions are managed, ideas flow across the boundary and new artefacts and spaces are designed by the project team concurrently with, and are informed by, the implementation of new organisational processes.
