From Systems Metaphors to Project Manager Intelligence
This paper combines systems metaphors with Gardner's multiple intelligences theory to develop a comprehensive model for managing stakeholder relationships. By incorporating various systemic perspectives—machine, organism, cultural/political, societal/environmental and interrelationships—the model provides a holistic framework that positions different types of intelligence—logical, spatial, interpersonal, naturalistic, linguistic, intrapersonal, e…
Fostering Women's Political Leadership Through Government Accountability
Women remain significantly underrepresented in political leadership worldwide. This study examines how different combinations of government accountability mechanisms enhance women's political representation (WPR) as a pathway to leadership in 30 OECD countries. Grounded in configuration theory, the research identifies three distinct pathways through which countries successfully advance WPR. The findings reveal that four accountability mechanisms—…
The Role of Integrated Governance Principles in the Fight Against Corruption
Good governance offers a transformative approach to controlling corruption; however, existing literature on the governance‐corruption nexus is limited by two significant flaws: (1) it overlooks the combined effects of governance principles on corruption levels, and (2) it relies on traditional statistical methods rooted in correlational arguments that fail to address asymmetric problems, where factors that drive success in some cases may have lit…
Building project resilience
Consisting of multifaceted interactions between various human and non‐human actors, projects are prime illustrations of complex systems. Such complexity amplifies the negative effect of disruptive events—common in projects owing to their high level of uncertainty. Therefore, building project resilience to provide a quick recovery process with minimal adverse consequences is of critical importance. However, literature lacks an effective framework …
Project schedule contingency planning
The research on project schedule contingency suffers from three major shortcomings: (1) it only partly reflects the complexity arising from the high interdependencies among project activities; (2) it is predicated on the idea of closed systems and thus does not address the interaction between a project and its environment; and (3) it does not sufficiently inform industry practices. This paper addresses these gaps by conceptually and analytically …
The Labyrinth of Corruption in the Construction Industry
The academic literature has viewed drivers of corruption in isolation and, consequently, failed to examine their synergistic effect. Such an isolated view provides incomplete information, leads to a misleading conclusion, and causes great difficulty in curbing corruption. This paper conducts a systematic literature review to identify the drivers of corruption in the construction industry. Subsequently, it develops a system dynamics (SD) model by …
