Contractual Guidelines for Promoting Integrated Project Delivery | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract Integrated project delivery (IPD) was originally developed to overcome the challenges associated with increased project complexity, high fragmentation levels of the construction industry, and inadequate interoperability among the different stakeholders. Despite its documented benefits on project performance, IPD adoption is still witnessing a slow uptake in the US. Recent research studies have tied such

Assessing Green-Building Policies with Structural Consistency and Behavioral Coherence: A Framework of Effectiveness and Efficiency | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract Getting a better understanding of the policy effectiveness and efficiency is a promising topic for encouraging the green-building initiative in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. This study introduces a framework for assessing and improving the green-building policies concerning the effectiveness with “structural consistency” of policy instruments and the efficiency with “behavioral coherence” of

Comparative Analysis of PMO Functions between the Public and Private Sectors: Survey of High-Performing Construction Organizations | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract Public and private organizations are distinct in terms of ownership structure and stakeholders because they approach project management processes and structures differently. Thus, it is likely that they operate project oversight structures such as a project management office (PMO) differently and focus on a diverse set of functions. This study is dedicated to investigating

Psychological Contract of Safety and Construction Worker Behavior: Felt Safety Responsibility and Safety-Specific Trust as Mediators | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract The psychological contract of safety (PCS) can be understood as the beliefs of employees regarding the reciprocal safety obligations between themselves and their supervisors. Although research has established that PCS is critical to safety management in construction sites, there is limited evidence on how PCS affects construction workers’ safety behavior, including compliance and participation.

Perceived COVID-19 Safety Risk and Safety Behavior on Construction Sites: Role of Safety Climate and Firm Size | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract This study examined the determinants of COVID-19-related safety behavior (SB) on construction sites in Nigeria. Specifically, the effect of perceived COVID-19 safety risk (PCSR) on SB, the interacting (moderating) effect of firm size (FS) on the relationship between PCSR and SB, and the mechanism through which PCSR leads to SB through the firm’s safety

Evaluating Mobile Crane Lift Operations Using an Interactive Virtual Reality System | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract Cranes are one of the most critical and expensive pieces of construction industry equipment requiring intense safety considerations. Lifting crews should attempt to develop an effective lift plan to improve the operation’s safety and reduce the risks of potential accidents. Although various systems are developed to enhance lifting operations’ safety, most cannot evaluate the

Gender Bias and Its Impact on Self-Concept in Undergraduate and Graduate Construction Education Programs in the United States | Journal of Construction Engineering and Management

GENERAL NEWS /

Abstract Previous studies argued that gender bias has an effect on the retention of female students in male-dominated academic programs. This study examined the prevalence of gender bias in construction education programs from different sources and the impact on students’ self-concept. Participants responded to a quantitative survey measuring gender bias, construction education self-concept, supportiveness of
