“…There were four (4) construction stakeholders involved in software development and five (5) blockchain engineers, who have certain understanding and knowledge on blockchain technology and the construction industry. This is also consistent with six (6) interviews done by Fernando et al (2019) for their research. Moreover, data saturation reached the 9th respondent where information is repeating and no new information was discovered during content analysis as tabulated in Tables 2-4 in Section 4.…”

“…There must be some initiatives to promote the EDM system to local construction business in order to increase the adoption. In addition, it is important for the users to acquire sufficient knowledge and experience about the system and operation (Fernando et al ., 2019). The lack of users' knowledge of the EDM system must be resolved in order to minimize the gap between knowledge and experience level for effective management.…”

PurposeThe digitization of electronic document management (EDM) in the construction industry has become more common in nature with the evolution of technology. However, there are still some limitations in EDM in the common data environment which can be improved with the integration of blockchain technology. The purpose of this paper is to identify the limitations of the current EDM system in the construction industry, to determine the potential of blockchain in improving the EDM system in the construction industry and challenges towards blockchain-based EDM.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with nine (9) respondents with background from the construction industry and blockchain expertise. Content analysis was used to analyze the primary data.FindingsCurrent EDM system in the construction industry possessed limitations such as system maturity, high cost, slow adoption of technology and security concerns. Blockchain is able to make improvements in the current EDM system in terms of data integrity, data tracking, data immutability, data security, data trustability, and data accountability. Several challenges such as costs, blockchain scalability and industry knowledge, industry culture and hardware need to overcome prior blockchain-based EDM systems can be widely applied in the construction industry.Originality/valueThe research findings provide insight on future EDM in the construction industry and aids future research in this field.

“…The proof Fernando et al (2019) where in his study he adopted an effective governance system in dealing with various information and document issues in electronic construction projects. This electronic document system and corporate governance are tools that can be used to evaluate documents and coordinate storing and sharing of information in various paper-based formats.…”

Implementing construction projects in the modern era will undoubtedly differ from the conventional methods used in the past with manuals. This study explores several data to support this discussion where we believe the project is implemented in the global era of all technologies, so several conveniences have proven to be. We perform data thinking electronically on books, scientific documents, and other documents. Meanwhile, we have sharply done the data coding, evaluation, and data impotence to draw quantitative conclusions. Based on the understanding of the discussion, we can say that this article has received an understanding that project implementation in the global era of technology, among others, has provided convenience such that projects can be carried out quickly because of the flow of document preparation communication and can minimize delays. With this digital application, project processors can improve efficiency, giving birth to more productivity compared to conventional ways. We hope this finding is helpful for the parties.

One of the most important and potential problems encountered in an official online letter management application is the late response of the recipients. This action research aims to improve the recipients’ response time, and determine the central core of shyness according to response time categories: less than 24 hours (green zone); between 24 hours to 48 hours (orange zone); and more than 48 hours (red zone) in managing formal online letter management system at Jambi University. Using the social representation theory of shyness as the basis of action (adopted from Moscovici (1984)), it is hypothesized that response time displaying will have an impact on response time improvement. Through a survey questionnaire distributed to 129 respondents, the results showed that there was a significant improvement in the participants’ response time respectively in cycles 1 and 2. The percentage for the green zone group increased from 22.44% to 52.49 % in the first cycle, and it ultimately raised to 62.38% at the end of second cycle. Such an increase might be due to the users’ efforts to avoid level of shyness which were classified into: (1) slow to respond and (2) personal or work unit late response time – both marked in red. It is recommended that the use of social shyness incorporated in improving response time in a formal online letter can be further implemented with other social and psychological parameters.
