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.
