Abstract | The construction industry is a typical arena for project-based organizations (PBOs), as construction
projects are perplexing and temporary organizations supported by cooperation of various interdisciplinary
project parties. The conditions for successful project delivery depend upon social
phenomena. Information circulation and resource sharing among all the project participants, which is
embedded in the forms of formal and informal networks, plays very essential role in the delivery
process of construction projects. Therefore a social perspective is proposed to analyse the
organizational performance of PBOs.
The aim of this paper is to explore the effects of social networks on PBOs, with a case study of a HK
public project. Social Networks Analysis (SNA) will be employed to help decipher the social power. A
series of formal/informal networks will be mapped and their network properties including density,
centrality, and cohesion will be analysed. It will extend our understanding of PBOs in a new perspective.
Besides, the paper will be able to support the decision making relating to BIM implementation in the
construction industry. |
