Organizational culture is context-specific and it can impact organizational effectiveness in certain mechanism. From Competing Values Framework (CVF) prospective, this study examines the correlations among organizational culture, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and organizational effectiveness. Furthermore, this study analyzes the possible mediating role of OCB in the relationship between...
The Last Planner System is a very important and systematic method that influences the achievement of lean construction. With the theory of emergence science, this paper analyzed the emergence mechanism of the last planner system from the perspective of group decision-making, information change and self-organization; then, how to realize the potencies of the last planner system so as to attain much...
This paper addresses 30 major challenges faced by reliability engineers and managers in their work. The paper's title reflects problems and approaches collectively developed by four long-time members of an engineering services company upon the occasion of its 30th anniversary. These challenges are common in the Reliability/Safety/Maintenance Engineering community but not everyone recognizes them as...
Many firms struggle with managing a portfolio of multiple interdependent projects. Therefore, practitioners and researchers are eager to learn which factors affect project portfolio success and how it can be increased. However, it takes some time for changes in management practices to reveal their potential. Thus, it is interesting to know how portfolio success can be predicted and what the possible...
The continuous operation mode of high equilibrium in the flow construction yields great benefits in lowering the cost and reducing the construction period as well as risks. The change of the construction period of any sub-construction will definitely exert a relatively great impact on the balanced construction of the project. Through the analysis of Monte Carlo simulation method (MC), the assurance...
The extent of the successfulness of an organization's information systems would start at the very beginning, even before it is implemented. In other words the success of a system would be determined at the very beginning of its implementation project; from identification of requirements to the final implementation and go live phase. Hence the sequence of activities occurring according to a preplanned...
Since program management provides a means to bridge the gap between project delivery and organizational strategy, the assessment of program management capability becomes more and more important. This paper is to construct an assessment index system of it based on Organizational Project Management Maturity Model. It begins by synthesizing the perceptions that surround program management; a preliminary...
This paper will explore what influences team members to complete the tasks and make decision with their members if conflict between tasks happened. R&D team works improve technology. As team members due to each team's responsibility, they would still approach their team performance on time. Generally, team members have many traits in similar, such as intelligences, absorbency, and willingness...
Accuracy of the functional size is critical in software project management, since functional size is the most prevalent input for effort and cost estimation models. Functional size measurement is performed based on standardized manuals; however, the accuracy of FSM results is still based on the knowledge and cautions of the measurers. In this study we performed a multiple case study to identify the...
Research has demonstrated how successful coordination can lead to greater organizational performance. In information technology (IT) project-based environments, coordinating the knowledge needed to perform activities is a particularly salient issue. Indeed, research has demonstrated how team cognition, or the awareness team members have about each other's capabilities, is a critical factor for project...
In the digital economy, IS projects play an increasingly important role for creating value and organizations have grown more heavily dependant on IS to help them solve problems and overcome challenges. However, lots of IS projects end in failure. The failed projects waste businesses millions of dollars every year and often prevent key business objectives from being met. Failing to identify and manage...
How should a company organize a project team to develop new products? This study examined the relative effectiveness of four types of team structures by comparing the performance of 559 development projects in terms of development cost, new product development speed, and product commercial success. The results indicate that in general, autonomous team structure is superior to other team structures,...
An organizational level test strategy needs to incorporate metrics to make the testing activities visible and available to process improvements. The majority of testing measurements that are done are based on faults found in the test execution phase. In contrast, this paper investigates metrics to support software test planning and test design processes. We have assembled metrics in these two process...
Systems engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the development of large complex systems, managing both the design processes and the design of the systems. As such systems engineering has both a technical and a managerial focus. SE originated during the 1950s as a means to address the problems presented by large and consequently high risk US government acquisitions. The approaches...
