“…The relationship between considering sustainability in projects and project success is addressed only marginally in the emerging literature on sustainability in project and project management. In fact, only Craddock [12], Mishra et al [32], Tiron-Tudor & Ioana-Maria [44], Kaysi [24] and Martens & Monteiro de Carvalho [29] explicitly mention this relationship. And although these studies are mostly of conceptual nature, only Tiron-Tudor & Ioana-Maria report an empirical study, these publications conclude the following relationships.…”

Sustainability is one of the most important challenges of our time. Companies are integrating sustainability in their marketing, communication and their actions. Sustainability has more recently also been linked to project management. The logic behind this link is that sustainability needs change and projects are realizing change. Several studies explored how the concept of sustainability impact project management. The research project reported in this paper elaborates on these works by studying how sustainability affects project success. Project managers, logically, strive for project success and considering sustainability may influence this success. Based upon a review of relevant literature, the paper develops a conceptual model that provides a more detailed understanding of how considering different dimensions of sustainability may affect the individual criteria of project success. The study also provides a conceptual mapping of the different relationships between dimensions of sustainability and criteria of project success. This mapping shows that the most positive relationships are expected for the relationship between sustainability and the success criteria stakeholder satisfaction, future readiness and controlled project execution. The expected relationship between considering sustainability and completing the project on schedule and within budget is uncertain.

“…Incorporating sustainability in the project requirements and assessment of project success and business cases implies consideration of economic, social and ecological aspects in both the short and long term. This, in turn, requires adoption of a life cycle perspective in the planning and implementation of the project and consideration of its outcomes [29,30], in terms of both quantitative and qualitative criteria [31]. The procurement and selection of suppliers also provide logical opportunities to consider sustainability [32] from the outset of a project.…”

The need to consider sustainability has substantially increased the complexity of implementing construction and infrastructure projects and new management practices have emerged during the past decade to tackle the global sustainability challenges, where the engagement and coordination of broader competences from stakeholders throughout the supply chain is required. This new project management paradigm has been accompanied by greater attention to the concept of collaborative business arrangements, often called partnering, that has emerged in construction and infrastructure projects to improve project deliveries. However, there are uncertainties about the optimal strategy to foster, integrate and maintain the required collaboration, particularly in sustainable management practices in infrastructure maintenance projects. This paper addresses these uncertainties, based on a single case study of an infrastructure maintenance contract involving an extensive collaborative business arrangement. The findings reveal that different collaborative practices affect diverse aspects of sustainable project management. Further, the extensive collaborative business arrangement has promoted sustainable deliveries based upon organizational learning and continuous improvements. Thus, this study offers an encouraging example of how extensive collaboration can be fostered and play a key role in sustainable project management practices.

“…Existing studies on social responsibility of major infrastructures are still scattered and fragmented (Zeng et al 2015) and concerns about social responsibility have grown significantly only during the last two decades. Craddock (2013) defines project social responsibility the process to achieve that financial resources, human resources and environmental resources are utilized in a way that sustains all three and focuses on the business excellence models contribute to project sustainability and project success. Wang (2014) conclusion suggests that a dynamic megaproject network governance mode can promote stakeholders engagement in collaborative actions and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the delivery of the megaproject.…”
