In order to achieve their goals, organizations collaborate with business partners. Such collaborations represent enactments of inter-organizational business processes and may be supported through the exchange of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages (e.g., electronic purchase orders, invoices etc.). For gaining insights on such processes, recently two distinct approaches for enabling the application...
This paper uses a literature review to present the risk factors that are most common to project success criteria through a project's entire life cycle. Empirical investigation and statistical analysis examined correlations between these factors. On the basis of the statistical correlations found we conclude that there are four factors in the initiation phase that could lead to the occurrence of additional...
The mechanism that team conflict on organizational citizenship behaviors is far from conclusive in the context of Chinese culture. In order to further clarify this mechanism, this study examines the role of organizational justice in the relationship between two types of team conflict and organizational citizenship behavior.
