“…Although project managers are responsible for the overall process, including negotiations, PCs are responsible for specific areas of the project (San Cristóbal et al, 2018;Cunningham and O'Reilly, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020). Their typical roles are research strategists, knowledge and technology transfer, collaboration and value creation, and management and governance (Cunningham and O'Reilly, 2019).…”

Increasing risks about deficient communication and difficulties in communication management in multinational projects lead to the deployment of project coordinators (PCs). The role of coordinators and their responses to communication issues differ with the organization structure. This study focuses on the communication tendencies in different organization structures to facilitate the work of PCs. Based on the literature review, this study identified representative communication risks and organization structures in multinational projects. Thereafter, a survey and semi-structured interviews with 30 PCs were conducted to understand their perceptions, which were then analyzed by applying text-mining. Cultural and linguistic risks, such as differences in terminology, nuances, and visual gestures, occur frequently in communication. The resulting construction and design changes may lead to conflicts among stakeholders. To alleviate these risks, PCs in functional, projectized, and matrix organizations must consider the hierarchy, expert presence, and systematic approach adoption, respectively. PCs typically prefer matrix organizations, in which each department acts as a team to deliver information uniformly, and the personnel must adapt to differences in the terminology and behavioral cultures of multinational stakeholders. The systematic deployment of PCs with experience and knowledge of multinational projects in each team can help set unified goals among stakeholders. By coordinating the communication of PCs, the technology and resources of participating countries can be timely utilized.

Stakeholders are one of the most significant factors in the success of a project. The creation of good team performance in a project is caused by clear work responsibilities given to each project stakeholder so that stakeholders have responsibility for their work and can complete their work correctly. The responsibility assignment matrix is a method for managing the roles of each resource and describing the relationship between jobs for each job in the project, which is classified into four parts, namely Responsible, Assignment, Consult, and Informed. In this paper, a matrix will be designed to manage the work assignments of each stakeholder involved in the case of delays in project completion at PT. XYZ uses the RACI Matrix method as a guide. The results of the work assignment matrix design in the case study project of PT. XYZ shows that 12 stakeholders are grouped into four classifications according to the RACI components, which are arranged based on the level of interest and responsibility of each stakeholder to the project.

Purpose and Background: Designing an appropriate organizational structure is very crucial in determining organizational performance. Organizational structure by itself does not lead to success, but the weak structure makes successful performance impossible. On this basis, designing a new optimal model of the organizational structure for the Deputy of Rehabilitation of the Welfare Organization is considered. Research Method: This research is conducted in three stages. In the first stage that is performed qualitatively, the data is collected through conducting structured interviews with rehabilitation authorities, managers, and experts. In the second stage, the key themes are extracted and are converted to the corresponding model. In the last stage, testing the extracted model is also performed, and this stage is conducted quantitatively. Findings: Based on the results, the factors identified in the foundation data model were influential on each other. The factor load of causal factors on the main category was 0.71, and its t-statistic was 5.67. The factor load of the contextual factors on the strategies was 0.52 and its t-statistic was 3.61. The factor load of the intervening factors on the strategies was 0.44 and its t-statistic was 2.59. The factor load of the main category on the strategies was 0.68 and its t-statistic was 4.7. Finally, the factor load of the strategies on the consequences was 0.69, and its t-statistic was 8.24. Conclusion: In general, concerning all indicators, the model had a good fit. Factor loads indicated the impact ratio of the observed variable in explaining and measuring the hidden variables related to it. On this basis, it can be said that designing the new optimal model of the organizational structure of the Deputy of Rehabilitation of the Welfare Organization has been done appropriately.
