At the same time, the surge in medium to large scale projects around the world, known as projectification of societies, has resulted in considerable interest in the discipline of project studies. The disciplinary idiosyncrasies of project studies motivate a reflection on theoretical and methodological considerations in resilience science. This reflection rests on the experience of instigating research at the juncture of resilience and projects in this special collection. Specifically, we framed these observations as a set of principles that can inform resilience science, including the need for theoretical parsimony, deliberate attention to system boundaries in conceptualization of resilience, as well as critical considerations in measuring resilience. We posit that in its essence, project studies has to navigate a paradox through: (i) investigating projects as efficient form of organizing for a resilient, sustainable and just future, while (ii) unpacking the governance and accountability limitations of temporary organizing within projects that aim to ensure these long-term goals. The proposed principles are core to the broader research stream that we call <em>“projects of future,”</em> a collective inquiry to unpack these paradoxes and a research stream to engage project scholarship with the contemporary phenomena in Anthropocene.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 8","pages":"Article 102544"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263786323001096/pdfft?md5=663bb1f91651ee81fcb005145775601a&pid=1-s2.0-S0263786323001096-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92123605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Projects, as a common form of temporary organizations, require resilience capabilities that enable them to cope with unexpected events, recover from disruptions and crises, and adapt to external environments for effective project delivery. However, there is little consensus about what project resilience means and how it is composed. This study aims to unpack the concepts of project resilience capabilities and explore core dimensions and indicators to measure it. Drawing upon a capability-based view, project resilience capabilities are conceptualized as the abilities of project organizations to organize under a variety of scenarios, including disruptions in the form of shocks and stressors and adapt in a changing environment. Three main aspects of project resilience capabilities were identified inspired by a dynamic process-based thinking, anticipation, coping, and adaptation capabilities. A total number of 21 dimension with 74 indicators are then developed to formulate a measurement tool. Based on the conceptualization of project resilience capabilities in the project organizing domain, this study is considered as an important step to extend the idea of organizational resilience capabilities and add knowledge towards the project resilience literature.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 8","pages":"Article 102541"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49763421","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}

While the simplicity of this reporting form is potentially helpful for decision-makers, it is also prone to biases because the assessment is subjective, and project managers might intentionally misreport the current status. We investigate the impact of this optimistic and pessimistic reporting behavior on projects’ future performance using a sample of 46,474 project status reports from 1,229 projects. Surprisingly, and in contrast to previous research, the results suggest that optimistic reporting behavior is positively related to future project success and pessimistic behavior negatively. We further find that the positive and negative effects of reporting behavior diminish throughout a project and that reinforced behavior over time negatively affects the impact of both behavior types. This study is highly relevant to managers as it reveals that project managers’ subjective presentation of their project's status has a significant relationship with their project's future performance. Furthermore, the study's results surprisingly show that—depending on a project's current phase and its managers’ prior reporting behavior—optimistic and pessimistic reporting can have negative and positive consequences for projects’ future performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"41 7","pages":"Article 102514"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49745209","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}

To unveil the complex taxonomy of megaproject improvisation (MI), we first develop a three-dimension theoretical framework of MI drawing on classical improvisation theory, taking into account improvisational degree, organizational level, and project phase. Based on the framework, an abductive approach is adopted utilizing 20 expert interviews and 863 MI event collections to explore MI taxonomy and its evolutionary features over megaproject lifecycles. Specifically, 13 MI types are identified by integrating improvisational degree and organizational level dimensions, and the evolution of MI taxonomy is unveiled from the project lifecycle perspective, indicating that distinct megaproject phases appeal to corresponding MI types to respond to unique uncertain circumstances.

Our results show how praxes of a project team without hierarchical authoritative power to give orders or delegate change-related activities in the host organization create organization-level outcomes in the city's organization and urban living lab contexts amongst external stakeholders. We contribute to project management studies by increasing the understanding of how short-term project activities foster long-term strategic changes in siloed and departmentalized host organizations while at the same time creating outcomes in the external urban living lab context.

Venturing beyond traditional approaches, our agile project organization framework comprises five dimensions: culture, customer integration, work method, autonomy, and cross-functional capabilities. Additionally, we probe deeper to unearth the underlying factors that amplify or attenuate the relationship between agility and dedication. Grounded in a triple-informant sample encompassing 286 team members across 70 physical product development projects, our findings affirm not only agility's relationship with dedication but also three boundary conditions: a methodical implementation approach, a clear ideation strategy, and an entrepreneurial orientation.
