Poor ethical performance of construction project management teams (EPCPMT) has been shown to negatively affect project quality, public safety, and the industry’s reputation. However, there has been no clear definition of this construct and no rigorous psychometric scale to measure it. This paper proposes a well-theorized conceptualization of EPCPMT grounded in professional ethics and stakeholder theory within the micro-meso-macro ethical framework. Building on this, a 32-item, multidimensional scale was developed and validated across three studies in the Chinese construction industry. Results support a reflective-formative second-order model comprising four dimensions: Professionalism & Responsibility, Safety & Health, Integrity & Justice, and Society & Environment. The scale exhibits robust psychometric properties and satisfactory fit indices across two independent samples. These findings lay the foundation for further empirical investigation and theoretical development in project management ethics. Practically, the scale offers a standardized instrument for evaluating ethical performance and informing targeted ethical training and intervention strategies in construction projects.

建设项目管理团队（EPCPMT）的不良道德表现已被证明会对项目质量、公共安全和行业声誉产生负面影响。然而，这一概念并没有明确的定义，也没有严格的心理测量量表来衡量它。本文以职业道德和利益相关者理论为基础，在微观-中观-宏观伦理框架下，提出了EPCPMT的理论化构想。在此基础上，我们开发了一个包含32个项目的多维度量表，并在中国建筑业的三项研究中进行了验证。结果支持一个反思性形成的二阶模型，该模型包括四个维度：专业精神与责任、安全与健康、诚信与公正、社会与环境。量表显示稳健的心理测量特性和令人满意的拟合指数跨越两个独立的样本。这些发现为项目管理伦理的进一步实证研究和理论发展奠定了基础。实际上，该量表提供了一个标准化的工具来评估道德绩效，并为建设项目中有针对性的道德培训和干预策略提供信息。

Individual leadership development has been a central area of research for many years. Project environments provide a unique setting for cultivating leadership competences, as their collaborative leadership approaches frequently enable individuals to step into leadership roles. Understanding the way project professionals grow into leadership roles during project work presents a significant opportunity for project-oriented organizations to employ projects beyond their original objectives and proactively leverage them as leadership learning ecosystems. The paper investigates how shared leadership in a project—moderated by organizational-level factors such as personnel development opportunities and servant leadership—relates to the project professionals’ leadership development. Based on a survey of 328 project professionals in German-speaking countries, the study reveals that projects are particularly effective as incubators for leadership growth. Results show a positive relationship between shared leadership in projects and individual leadership development. This association is further strengthened when the organization is characterized by a servant leadership style and provides further personnel development measures. These findings make significant theoretical contributions and open new avenues for future research into leadership development within project contexts.

多年来，个人领导力发展一直是研究的中心领域。项目环境为培养领导能力提供了一个独特的环境，因为他们的协作领导方法经常使个人进入领导角色。了解项目专业人员在项目工作中成长为领导角色的方式，为项目导向的组织提供了一个重要的机会，使其能够超越其最初的目标，并积极地利用它们作为领导力学习生态系统。本文研究了项目中的共享领导力——受组织层面因素（如人员发展机会和服务型领导力）的调节——与项目专业人员领导力发展的关系。该研究对德语国家的328名项目专业人士进行了调查，结果显示，项目在培养领导力方面特别有效。结果显示，项目共享领导力与个体领导力发展呈正相关。当组织以服务型领导风格为特征并提供进一步的人员发展措施时，这种联系进一步加强。这些发现具有重要的理论贡献，并为未来在项目背景下的领导力发展研究开辟了新的途径。

As wind energy matures, end-of-life project management, especially of turbine blades, poses a growing sustainability challenge. We examine how project organising shapes circular outcomes in decommissioning, bridging project management, socio-technical transitions, and circular economy perspectives. Using a qualitative case of the Danish wind sector (15 interviews plus documents), we find barriers to circularity are less technological than organisational and institutional: front-end project shaping rarely embeds end-of-life goals, and the absence of project sequencing limits learning and market formation. We contribute to project studies by (1) reframing decommissioning as a strategic phase in sustainability transitions, (2) specifying mechanisms – shaping, sequencing, and lineage/learning – that enable circularity, (3) linking these mechanisms to transition dynamics across niche, regime, and landscape levels. We map likely pathways where project organising through shaping, sequencing, and learning interacts with regime conditions, showing projects as levers shifting end-of-life renewable energy assets, beyond wind, up the circular ladder.

随着风能的成熟，报废项目的管理，特别是涡轮叶片的管理，对可持续性提出了越来越大的挑战。我们研究了项目组织如何在退役、桥接项目管理、社会技术转型和循环经济视角中塑造循环结果。使用丹麦风能行业的定性案例（15次访谈和文件），我们发现循环性的障碍比组织和制度的障碍更少：前端项目塑造很少嵌入生命周期结束的目标，缺乏项目排序限制了学习和市场形成。我们通过以下方式为项目研究做出贡献：(1)将退役重新定义为可持续性转型的战略阶段；(2)明确实现循环的机制——形成、排序和谱系/学习；(3)将这些机制与生态位、制度和景观层面的转型动态联系起来。我们绘制了项目组织通过塑造、排序和学习与制度条件相互作用的可能路径，将项目作为杠杆，将风能以外的可再生能源资产转移到圆形阶梯上。

Infrastructure projects can act as niches for innovation development, contribute to strategic goals of network owners, and drive broader systemic transitions. However, limited research has examined how sustainability transitions are shaped through narratives and counternarratives around infrastructure projects. Using a case study of the port of Rotterdam, we analyze how three embedded projects - Maasvlakte 2, RDM Campus, and the Hydrogen Pipeline - reflected and shaped evolving narratives and counter-narratives over 20-years. Grounded in the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), the study demonstrates how an infrastructure owner like the Port of Rotterdam Authority (PoRA) strategically mobilized narrative framing to reshape existing regimes over time. The study contributes to the debate on project management and transition studies by highlighting how infrastructure project owners respond to transition-related tensions by shaping, defending, and adapting project narratives over time, thereby influencing sustainability trajectories.

基础设施项目可以作为创新发展的利基，有助于实现网络所有者的战略目标，并推动更广泛的系统转型。然而，有限的研究考察了围绕基础设施项目的叙述和反叙述是如何塑造可持续转型的。通过对鹿特丹港的案例研究，我们分析了三个嵌入式项目——Maasvlakte 2、RDM校园和氢气管道——如何反映和塑造了20年来不断发展的叙事和反叙事。本研究以多层次视角（MLP）为基础，展示了像鹿特丹港务局（PoRA）这样的基础设施所有者如何战略性地调动叙事框架，随着时间的推移重塑现有制度。该研究通过强调基础设施项目所有者如何通过塑造、捍卫和调整项目叙述来应对与过渡相关的紧张关系，从而影响可持续性轨迹，为项目管理和转型研究的辩论做出了贡献。

Interdisciplinary project teams face significant challenges when collaborating across knowledge boundaries. However, existing research focuses primarily on technical issues while overlooking political complexities. This creates incomplete understanding of how political complexities are resolved, how technical and political components intertwine, and how information technology serves as boundary objects. This research addresses these gaps by developing a theoretical framework that integrates both technical and political components, grounded in sociomateriality. Built environment projects featuring building information modelling-enabled early facilities management involvement provide the research context, where information technology enables interdisciplinary collaboration amid complex boundary-spanning challenges. Two interconnected study phases were conducted, employing qualitative methods. The findings illuminate mechanisms underlying political abilities arising from capital utilization and conversion, identify the driver of technical-political interweaving, and reveal information technology’s dual role and perceived effects. This research advances sociomaterial boundary-spanning studies and provides insights for information technology-enabled interdisciplinary collaboration in projects.

跨学科项目团队在跨知识边界协作时面临重大挑战。然而，现有的研究主要集中在技术问题上，而忽视了政治复杂性。这造成了对政治复杂性如何解决，技术和政治成分如何交织，以及信息技术如何作为边界对象的不完整理解。本研究通过发展一个基于社会物质的理论框架来解决这些差距，该框架整合了技术和政治成分。具有建筑信息模型支持的早期设施管理参与的建筑环境项目提供了研究背景，其中信息技术使跨学科合作能够应对复杂的跨边界挑战。采用定性方法进行了两个相互关联的研究阶段。研究结果阐明了资本利用和转换产生的政治能力的潜在机制，确定了技术-政治交织的驱动因素，揭示了信息技术的双重作用和感知效应。这项研究促进了社会物质跨界研究，并为信息技术支持的跨学科项目合作提供了见解。

In project research, most cost studies have shown how cost estimation processes can produce more realistic cost estimates and reduce cost overruns. In contrast, the knowledge of the day-to-day practices of project teams during planning to proactively reduce the actual cost of projects is limited. Utilising a project-as-practice lens, this paper aims to identify the practices of cost reduction in the planning of complex projects. We employed a single-case study of a UK major nuclear decommissioning project to find that cost reduction is practiced by setting the project up for cost reduction before developing cost reduction solutions. We show how cultures of collaboration, open communication, and opportunity management are key to realistic cost reduction. Our theoretical contribution entails an understanding of how proactive cost reduction is performed in complex projects. We recommend organisations adopt a collaborative contractual approach and place greater focus on opportunity management.

在项目研究中，大多数成本研究表明成本估算过程如何产生更现实的成本估算并减少成本超支。相比之下，项目团队在计划中主动降低项目实际成本的日常实践知识是有限的。利用项目作为实践的视角，本文旨在确定在复杂项目规划中降低成本的实践。我们采用了英国一个大型核退役项目的单一案例研究，发现在制定降低成本的解决方案之前，通过将项目设置为降低成本来实现成本降低。我们展示了协作、开放沟通和机会管理的文化如何成为降低实际成本的关键。我们的理论贡献需要理解如何在复杂项目中执行主动成本降低。我们建议各组织采用合作合同方式，更加注重机会管理。

Community engagement is fundamental for project success. However, establishing genuine connections with community members is hindered by limited project time and the variety of interests involved. In this context, social networking sites (SNS) have been shown to be a powerful engagement tool as long as they are strategically leveraged by project organizations. Yet key features of these platform dynamics remain underexplored in the PM literature. To advance our knowledge, this study aims to understand the communication process enacted on SNS by project organizations for community engagement. To this end, we conducted a process study on a sports event where such platforms are consistently exploited for engaging the online community. The internal perspective enabled the underlying organizational processes to be detected. Our findings revealed that project communication acted in practice as a dynamic process relying on the discursive patterns with the online community and affected by the external context.

社区参与是项目成功的基础。然而，与社区成员建立真正的联系受到有限的项目时间和所涉及的各种兴趣的阻碍。在这种情况下，社交网站（SNS）已被证明是一个强大的参与工具，只要它们被项目组织战略性地利用。然而，这些平台动态的关键特征在PM文献中仍然没有得到充分的探讨。为了增进我们的知识，本研究旨在了解项目组织为社区参与而在SNS上实施的传播过程。为此，我们对一个体育赛事进行了过程研究，在这个赛事中，这些平台一直被用来参与在线社区。内部透视图允许检测底层组织流程。研究结果表明，项目沟通在实践中是一个动态的过程，依赖于与网络社区的话语模式，并受到外部语境的影响。

Research on temporary organizations such as projects acknowledges the interplay between the temporary and the permanent. However, we still lack deeper understanding of the processes responsible for (re)producing and transforming permanent structures for temporary organizing. We present an ethnography of collaborative emergency response operations in a major German city – a setting providing an example of temporary organizing including more permanent structures drawn from intra- and interorganizational processes. Revealing the recursive interplay between the permanent and temporary across multiple levels, we explore practices of temporary organizing in situations that require both routine and highly situated responses. We also show how more permanent structures are co-fabricated in the process of temporary organizing. Furthermore, our study addresses the intricate interplay between organizing for the temporary and the permanent in relation to the tensions associated with the duality of stability and change. Finally, we outline implications for the effectiveness of emergency management and planning.

对临时性组织（如项目）的研究承认临时性和永久性之间的相互作用。然而，我们仍然缺乏对负责（重新）生产和转换临时组织的永久结构的过程的更深入的理解。我们介绍了德国一个主要城市协作应急响应行动的民族志——这是一个临时组织的例子，包括从组织内部和组织间过程中汲取的更永久的结构。揭示了在多个层面上永久和临时之间的递归相互作用，我们探索了在需要常规和高度情境反应的情况下临时组织的实践。我们也展示了更多的永久性结构是如何在临时组织的过程中共同制造的。此外，我们的研究解决了临时和永久组织之间复杂的相互作用，以及与稳定和变化二元性相关的紧张关系。最后，我们概述了对应急管理和规划有效性的影响。

Improvisation is increasingly recognized as an effective process to deal with unforeseen uncertainties in megaprojects. However, it is challenging for megaproject teams to enact improvisation that hinges on efficient real-time information processing, facing the harsh information dilemma. From an information processing perspective, this study investigates how two modes of collective mindfulness – mindful attention and mindful conceptualizing – affect team improvisation in megaprojects. Our questionnaire survey on 60 megaproject teams reveals that both mindfulness modes follow an inverted U-shaped relationship with improvisation. The moderating roles of project complexity and ambiguity are examined, showing that these factors flatten the curvilinear effects of mindful attention and conceptualizing on improvisation. Findings also suggest that a project manager’s heightened metacognitive belief in mindfulness shifts and flattens these relationships, allowing for greater team improvisation. Our findings contribute to new antecedents of improvisation and extend mindfulness research in projects, leading to better dealing with unforeseen uncertainties in megaprojects.

即兴创作越来越被认为是处理大型项目中不可预见的不确定性的有效方法。然而，面对严峻的信息困境，大型项目团队制定依赖于高效实时信息处理的即兴创作是一项挑战。本研究从信息加工的角度，探讨了正念注意和正念概念化两种集体正念模式对大型项目团队即兴创作的影响。我们对60个大型项目团队的问卷调查显示，这两种正念模式都与即兴创作呈倒u型关系。项目复杂性和模糊性的调节作用表明，这些因素使正念注意力和概念化对即兴创作的曲线效应变得平坦。研究结果还表明，项目经理对正念的高度元认知信念会改变并使这些关系变得平坦，从而允许团队更好地即兴发挥。我们的发现为即兴创作提供了新的先例，并扩展了项目中的正念研究，从而更好地处理大型项目中不可预见的不确定性。

We explore links between stakeholder theory and project planning and management. For decades, scholarly work in the field of project management has been enamored with stakeholder theory. Many projects, however, routinely encounter delays and cost overruns due to tensions in value creation among shareholders and stakeholders. We believe that integrating six key principles of stakeholder theory can provide effective project management and value creation for multiple stakeholders without tradeoffs. Through examples, we illustrate how these principles play a critical role in managing projects, draw critical connections across the two disciplines, and suggest an agenda for future research at the intersection of project management and stakeholder theory.

我们将探讨利益相关者理论与项目规划和管理之间的联系。几十年来，项目管理领域的学术工作一直痴迷于利益相关者理论。然而，由于股东和利益相关者之间在价值创造方面的紧张关系，许多项目经常遇到延迟和成本超支。我们相信，整合干系人理论的六个关键原则可以为多个干系人提供有效的项目管理和价值创造，而无需权衡。通过实例，我们说明了这些原则如何在项目管理中发挥关键作用，绘制了两个学科之间的关键联系，并提出了项目管理和利益相关者理论交叉的未来研究议程。
