“…A megaproject is a large-scale project with a huge investment, which has a long construction cycle, a wide range of impacts, and involves numerous stakeholders (Flyvbjerg, 2014). Megaprojects are the symbol of national economic prosperity, and have significant impacts on economic and social development, with important strategic significance, such as expressways, high-speed railways, large hydropower stations, cross-sea bridges, and so on (Wang and Pitsis, 2020; Yang et al. , 2022).…”

PurposeManagers of megaprojects face social risk management challenges throughout the various design, construction, and operation stages, owing to the various conflicts of interest among stakeholders, public skepticism, and opposition. However, most existing studies have not focused on the dynamic analysis of integrating social risks in these stages. This study developed a dynamic analysis approach to explore the dynamics of critical social risk factors and related stakeholders of megaprojects and built the managerial maps for various stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachBased on the social analysis network (SNA), a dynamic network analysis approach for understanding the dynamics of social risk and related stakeholders has been developed by literature and case analysis. The approach comprises the following steps: (1) generating social risk–stakeholder networks in different stages; (2) analysis of the critical stakeholders and social risk factors; (3) dynamic analysis of social risk factors; and (4) developing social risk management maps for various stakeholders. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach, 40 megaprojects from China were analyzed.FindingsAccording to the results, the local government is a critical stakeholder during all stages, inadequate information promotion (IIP) and imperfect communication and coordination mechanism (ICCM) are key social risk sources throughout the megaproject life cycle. Furthermore, the management maps for government organizations, project implementation groups, and external stakeholders were constructed.Originality/valueThis research has three contributions. First, a dynamic analysis approach of stakeholder-associated social risks in megaprojects is developed, which enriches the social risk management theory of megaprojects and provides inspiration for future research focus. Second, the social risk–stakeholder networks and critical social risks in different stages are confirmed to provide a more valid and accurate picture of social risk management in megaprojects. Third, the social risk managerial maps for different stakeholders built in this research will be beneficial for governments, project implementation groups, and external stakeholders to optimize management strategies.

“…Compared with normal projects, megaprojects have unique characteristics. Megaprojects have more important political and strategic significance and political impacts, which are highly concerning for the government and leaders (Wang and Pitsis, 2020;Chapman, 2016;Yang et al, 2022). Complexity is another basic characteristic.…”
