By focusing on citizenship and ethics, organizations can become more adaptable to turbulent conditions. Expansion of the service sector, globalization and greater strategic emphasis on technological innovation and 'intrapreneurship' are among the trends that have given rise to major changes in the nature of work, the workplace and the workforce [1]. The current business environment may be characterized as ' hyper-turbulent' and resource constrained, relentlessly confronting organizations and their managers with challenging, unpredictable high-stakes issues and dilemmas in various areas such as environmental sustainability, accountability, transparency, consumer and human rights, discrimination, fraud and bribery. Such turbulence, complexity and uncertainty have .rendered inadequate the purely rational model of a job as a compendium of tasks, and have broadened the meaning ofworkplace effectiveness [2]. Exclusive preoccupation with the task domain may no longer serve the best interests of organizations wishing to achieve sustainability and competitiveness [3]. Research on work performance and performance appraisal suggests that while continuous improvement oftask-related competencies remains important, the value ofemployees to an organization is not based solely on task performance [4]. For example, rather than passively accepting sub optimal organizational routines as' givens', employees may thus actively reconstruct and enhance them through interaction with members of their role set.

PurposeModern construction projects are increasingly complex and rely heavily on multi-discipline collaboration, and this leads to a more and more decentralized project-based structure widely adopted in the construction industry. While job satisfaction (JS) and job performance (JP) have been heavily studied previously, few considered the impact of organizational structure and none investigated the relationship between the organizational decentralization degree with JS and JP. This research aims to fill this research gap and investigate the impacts of organizational decentralization degree on JS and JP and facilitate a better project management practice for large-scale construction projects.Design/methodology/approachThis research firstly establishes four hypotheses based on the literature review on general project-based organizations, then the hypotheses are tested by a survey covering 25 large complex construction projects in China. A hierarchical linear model analysis was carried out to analyze the survey data and to study the relationships between organizational decentralization degree, job satisfaction and job performance.FindingsAnalysis results show that projects' employees' JS and JP are positively correlated with the construction project organizations' decentralization degree, respectively. The decentralization degree has a higher impact on JS than on JP. Employees' JP is positively correlated with their JS, and a higher decentralization degree leads to a more significant positive impact that JS puts on JP.Originality/valueThe findings are new evidence of how construction organization structure and its decentralization degree can affect project employees' JS and JP. This research provides valuable guidance for the industry's management practice and is particularly important for large, complex and highly decentralized construction projects.
