摘要

从过去的项目失败中吸取经验教训,为建筑行业内的企业提供了 "更明智地重建 "的机会,因为如果这些经验能够被吸收,就能为企业带来好处,如减少未来的失败,并能培养出具有应变能力的项目团队。然而,基于项目的组织(PBOs)通常在学习和项目管理方面实施内部技术和战略机制,而不是从整个行业的角度进行组织学习。此外,很少有人关注部门内部的制度环境。因此,本研究通过采用制度理论的视角,重点关注项目型组织内部的学习如何受到外部环境的影响。通过探索性研究,对 19 名英国建筑行业专业人士进行了半结构化访谈,收集了相关数据,然后使用主题分析法对数据进行了分析。研究结果表明,存在着一个机构学习领域,基于与外部环境的互动,私营组织在该领域内运作。其中包括:与监管支柱相关的组织--如政府机构和监管机构(如健康与安全执行局);与规范支柱相关的组织(如 APM 和 CIOB 等专业机构);以及与文化认知支柱相关的组织(如同行 PBO、供应商和更广泛的供应链)。研究认为,这些支柱都能为行业提供借鉴。研究结果进一步表明,跨组织学习主要受到竞争和分散的阻碍。因此,为了 "更明智地重建",该部门必须将已确定的机构领域成员聚集在一起,以便更好地从与项目有关的失败中吸取经验教训。因此,私营组织需要建立更好的机构网络,将机构领域内的其他组织视为知识来源,并接受合作而不是竞争。

The Institutional Field Of Learning From Project-Related Failures – Opportunities and Challenges.
Learning from past project failures presents opportunities for firms working within the construction sector to ‘build back wiser’ because, if lessons from these experiences are absorbed, they offer benefits such as mitigation against future failures, and enable the development of resilient project teams. However, instead of using sector-wide perspectives for organisational learning, Project-Based Organisation (PBOs) typically implement internal technological and strategic mechanisms in both learning and project management. Additionally, little attention is given to the institutional context within the sector. Hence, this study focuses on how learning within a PBO is influenced by the external environment by adopting an Institutional theory perspective. Via exploratory research, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 UK construction industry professionals and then analysed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that there exists an institutional field of learning within which PBOs operate based on interactions with their external environment. These include: regulatory pillar-related organisations – such as government bodies, and regulatory bodies (e.g., the Health and Safety Executive); Normative pillar-related organisations (professional bodies such as APM and CIOB), and; cultural-cognitive pillar-related organisations (such as peer PBOs, suppliers and the wider supply chain). The study contends that each of these pillars offer lessons for the sector. Findings further reveal that cross organisational learning is hampered mostly by competition and fragmentation. Hence, to ‘build back wiser’ it is important that the sector brings together the identified institutional field members to better learn from project-related failures. Thus, PBOs need to build better institutional networks by viewing other organisations within the institutional field as sources of knowledge and embracing collaboration instead of competition.
