“…Recently, some researchers have also studied the factors that promote ambidextrous learning of engineering project teams from the perspectives of formal control and social control. 4 However, the influence of technology platform on ambidextrous learning is not considered. Resulting from the progress of the Internet, technology platforms have penetrated into all aspects of life and work.…”

Through formal control and social control, technology platforms can acquire the information knowledge needed for ambidextrous learning of engineering project team, but whether technology platforms influence ambidextrous learning of engineering project team through the intermediary role of ambidextrous control (formal control, social control) is still lack of theoretical and empirical support. In order to explore the influence of the co-use of technology platform and ambidextrous control on the ambidextrous learning of engineering project team, this paper constructs a theoretical framework between the performance of ambidextrous control (formal control, social control) and different types of technology platform (BIM, AI, VR, AR, MR) and different types of learning (exploratory learning, exploitative learning). A questionnaire survey was conducted among 210 project managers. AMOS22.0 and bootstrap software were used for analysis and test, SPSS22.0 was used for hierarchical regression analysis, the results of hierarchical regression analysis show that formal control, social control and the balanced use of both have significant positive correlation with the ambidextrous learning and balanced use of ambidextrous learning of engineering project team. Formal Information Technology Platform (BIM) and Informal Information Technology Platform (AI, VR, AR, MR) have significant positive effects on the ambidextrous learning of engineering project team. The balanced use of formal Information Technology Platform (BIM) and informal Information Technology Platform (AI, AR) has significant positive effects on the ambidextrous learning balance of engineering project team. Formal control and social control mediate the positive correlation between information technology platform (BIM, AI, VR, AR, MR) and ambidextrous learning of engineering project team. In addition, information technology platform (BIM, AI, VR) regulates the impact of formal control and social control on learning (exploratory learning, exploitative learning). Generally speaking, different types of technology platforms and ambidextrous control strategies are still effective for the ambidextrous learning and balance of engineering project team.
