“…Especially for sustainable project planning, the social sustainability need more support from the commitment of project team in the project life cycle. For construction engineering projects with complex stakeholders, sustainable project planning increases the opportunity for communication and likelihood that each team member understands what other member are proposing to do [67], and then facilitates common understanding and knowledge sharing at project team level [68]. Thus, sustainable project planning also manifests as the efforts made on realizing common commitment and democracy to the goals, values, and behavioral expectations of construction engineering project team.…”

Abstract:With the balanced requirement of environmental, economic and social objectives in projects intensifying, the need for integrating sustainability with project management has drawn attention in both academia and practice. Especially for large complex construction engineering projects, how to achieve sustainability-related objectives in project practices has been endowed with an irreplaceable significance. This study explores the use of project planning practices for integrating sustainability into project management practices of construction engineering projects. Sustainable project planning, as the main instrument of sustainable project management, was put forward and measured to help project managers and practitioners understand what it is and how to carry it out in construction engineering projects. Qualitative methods based on content analysis of interview data of project managers from construction engineering projects, as well as quantitative method on account of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of statistical data, were used to define and assess the construct of sustainable project planning (SPP). Results indicate that SPP as a project planning practice combine the principles of sustainability should consist of three dimensions-managerial control, risk response, and work consensus-to guarantee sustainable construction and predict project success of construction engineering projects. This study shed light on academics and practices concerning the sustainable management of project planning activities and the achievement of sustainable-related objectives in construction engineering projects.

The need for top management involvement in the exploitation of IT is a recurring theme of information management Previous research has suggested that this involvement is linked with a two way relationship between CEO and CIO. This paper reports on an exploratory research study which set out to identify the determinants of a successful two way relationship. CEOs and CIOs were interviewed in-depth in fourteen large organizations based in the UK. The paper describes an explanatory framework which links the quality of the CEO/CIO relationship to identify. attributes of each of the parties, and of their host organization.

Electronic government adoption in developing countries: the case of the Indonesian electronic procurement system

Studies conducted in the disciplines of public administration, sociology, psychology and information systems have examined the factors supporting electronic government (e-Government) adoption. Such research is vital because-no matter how technically sophisticated an e-Government system-it will be useless if it is not adopted. For government procurement processes, electronic procurement (e-Procurement) is believed to enhance efficiency and transparency as well as reduce the incidence of corruption in these processes. Unfortunately, however, many developing countries that face the problem of public sector corruption have failed to successfully adopt e-Government systems, including e-Procurement. The lack of success in e-Government adoption has stimulated the interest of scholars to identify the key predictors of e-Government adoption in developing countries. As a contribution to this growing body of knowledge, the present study examines the possible predictors of e-Government adoption by using Indonesia's e-Procurement system as a case study. Indonesia was chosen as the case study because it is a developing country facing the problem of public sector corruption and because an e-Procurement system was introduced for use in government agencies in 2005.The literature presents several conceptual models that have been developed to understand the predictors of e-Government use. Generally, these conceptual models apply to pre-adoption settings (e.g. the technology acceptance model (TAM), unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), and technology-organisation-environment model (TOE)) where they identify the factors relating to the take-up of a new technology, or to continued use settings (e.g. the expectation confirmation model for information technology (ECM-IT)) where they identify the factors relating to the continued use of a technology. The predictors in these models have been validated by prior studies in various settings. However, there is a growing concern about the use of model predictors without adjusting them to take account of different contexts. At least two types of adjustment to context should be considered: first, the models are often developed for business settings, but government procedures and needs are different; second, the models have mostly been developed in the context of developed rich nations, not poorer developing worlds, and with this come different cultural attitudes to technology and educational and infrastructure levels. The present study is significant in that it tests the use of a pre-existing e-Procurement system by government agencies in a developing country. It not only assesses the continued intention to use, but also introduces a new measure of the level of adoption.In recognition of the need to adjust pre-existing adoption models, this study used a two-stage research design. The first stage used interviews with expert informants to either confirm existing iii predictors from well-established adoption models or identify new predictors for the e-Procurement and ...
