We argue that project managers with higher mindfulness levels tend to be more open, attentive, and creative in crafting their immediate work environment. This, in turn, encourages project managers to explore how GenAI can optimise workflows, and ultimately improve the frequency and effectiveness of GenAI use. The mediating role of job crafting was verified in this study using a two-wave time-lagged design among 441 project managers. The moderating role of project complexity and GenAI knowledge were also validated in this mediation model.

These technological shifts increasingly produce levels of complexity that require the effective mobilization of digital project resources for high-performing projects. Grounded in the dynamic capability and knowledge-based view, this study examines how four key digital project resources, namely technological competency, big data competency, digital culture, and digital leadership, are related to project performance through knowledge-based dynamic capability and digitalized project practices. Survey data were collected from 253 maritime professionals engaged in project management. The structural equation modeling analysis reveals that all four digital project resources are positively associated with knowledge-based dynamic capability. In turn, this capability is positively linked to both digitalized project practices and project performance. The study advances project management research by conceptualizing digital project resources as socio-technical enablers that transform knowledge into capability-building practices, thereby reshaping project management processes. For practitioners, the findings highlight actionable strategies, including strengthening big data analytics, cultivating a supportive digital culture, and developing digital leadership, to foster digitalization and improve project performance in technology-intensive environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 1","pages":"Article 102814"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146037599","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}

This study uses a multi-method approach to examine how stakeholder dynamics emerge to enable joint digitalisation and decarbonisation efforts. The study moves beyond stakeholder analysis and integrates theories from the multi-level perspective of transitions. The findings highlight the prominent role of key stakeholders such as clients/owners, government and regulators in supporting the dual transition through competitive, hybridised and symbiotic dynamics with variable disruption potential. Theoretically, the study bridges project and transitions studies by illustrating how digital twins can be strategically deployed to drive decarbonisation and support sustainability by projects.

Previous research often focused on the impacts of task and role conflicts under instrumental goal orientation. It remains unclear how inconsistency between organizational interest goals and external ethical expectations influences value co-creation among organizations. This study innovatively proposes the mediating mechanism of organizational moral reflexivity. External stakeholders' expectations drive organizations to recognize the negative impacts of self-interested behaviors. Through critical learning and self-reflection, organizational members actively engage in inter-organizational collaboration within the project network. In addition, the study examined the moderating effect of network embeddedness on moral reflexivity. We collected 281 survey responses through a three-wave, two-month time-lagged design for empirical model validation. The findings indicate that inconsistency between organizational interest goals and external ethical expectations has a significant negative impact on value co-creation. With stronger network embeddedness, organizations are more inclined to exhibit moral reflexivity in the face of ethical dilemmas, thereby promoting inter-organizational collaboration. This research offers new insights into the dynamic and adaptive nature of organizational ethics within project networks and provides practical guidance for organizations to balance instrumental goals and ethical objectives in complex project network environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 1","pages":"Article 102799"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145749158","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}

Inter-organizational relationship quality is closely related to the sustainable development of future cooperation, yet prior studies have reported contradictory findings. Rooted in the field of project behavior and conflict management, this study examines how relational behavior and task conflict jointly shape inter-organizational relationship quality. This study employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to uncover multiple configurational pathways leading to different levels of inter-organizational relationship quality. It examines how situational factors (task conflict and time delay) interact with behavioral factors (the relational behavior of both parties) to shape these outcomes. Based on survey data from 212 questionnaires, this study concludes that a key factor driving high relationship quality is when the three dimensions of relational behavior of both parties are aligned or when one collaborator more closely meets the expectations of both parties. Conversely, low relationship quality occurs when both task conflict and time delay are in an unfavorable state, especially when the relational behavior of the two parties is not equal. The findings contribute to conflict management literature by advancing a configurational understanding of how behavioral reciprocity and situational stressors shape relationship outcomes. These configurations show high consistency and coverage, indicating robust and empirically relevant patterns in inter-organizational relationship quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 1","pages":"Article 102796"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145749110","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}
