“…An examination of the questionnaire led to further refinement, including removing four redundant items, combining three that overlapped, and rephrasing items that were deemed confusing. e items for assessing control were developed by Qian and Zhang [3]; four of these items (CO1-CO4) are used to measure the extent of control in megaprojects. e items for assessing trust were adapted from Chow et al [86] and Pinto et al [87]; four of these items (TR1-TR4) are used to examine the level of trust between the participants of megaprojects.…”

“…e complexity and uncertainty of targets, stakeholders, and the environment cause various interorganizational conflicts and low performance of megaprojects [2]. Inconsistent targets and the "hold up" problem result in high transaction costs and a lower level of opportunism in a megaproject [3]. Project failure is an unresolved problem that plagues academics and practitioners [4].…”

Trust and control are the two main governance mechanisms in megaprojects. However, the role of social exchange norms in trust and control governance remains unclear. Based on social exchange theory, we explored the impact of control and trust on megaproject success by considering the mediating effect of social exchange norms, which include reciprocity, negotiation, and information sharing. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test the hypotheses based on data collected from 155 respondents. Results show that control and trust have positive effects on megaproject success. Trust can promote social exchange norms. That is, the higher the level of trust is, the greater the likelihood that reciprocity, negotiation, and information sharing will increase. Control does not have a significant impact on social exchange norms. Social exchange norms have a mediating effect on the relationship between trust and megaproject success but not on the link between control and megaproject success. Our findings fill in the gaps in the literature on megaproject governance and contribute to the development of megaproject management theory, which can help project managers understand the motivation orientations of all parties to make decisions wisely and rationally under complex environments.

“…PLS-SEM can be considered to be an alternative CB-SEM for estimating theoretically established cause-effect relationship [70]. It has gained a great momentum and been applied in a variety of research fields [71,72]. Accordingly, PLS-SEM can also be more appropriate in this research for the following two reasons.…”

Based on the theory of Planned Behavior, this study firstly explored the relationship between the behavioral intention and the actual behavior of consumers and real estate enterprises when choosing prefabricated residential buildings. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was adopted, being supported by the questionnaire data from 310 respondents of 14 prefabricated building demonstration cities in China, to achieve the purpose. The results show that there is a gap between the behavioral intention and the actual behavior of consumers and real estate enterprises. The moderating effect of reputational incentive policies and financial incentive policies was examined to bridge the gap. It shows that reputational incentive policies and financial incentive policies are an effective way in promoting the behavioral intention and actual behavior of real estate enterprises when adopting prefabricated residential buildings, but they all do not work for consumers. The findings can help government understand the preference of consumers and real estate enterprises, so as to use governance incentive policies more wisely and rationally under various circumstances.

“…Conflict in construction projects is inevitable due to the complexity and uncertainty of the construction project itself and the incompleteness of construction project contracts (Qian & Zhang, 2018). Individuals involved in a project are affected by conflict, possibly leading to disturbed routines, decreased performance, and confrontational relationships among members (Chen et al, 2014;Shih & Susanto, 2010;.…”

Negative consequences can arise if interpersonal conflicts in construction projects are not handled properly. This study aims to investigate the relationship among political skill, cooperative conflict management styles, and relationship quality. Multiple regressions were used to test the hypothesis based on 206 items of data collected from construction project practitioners in China. Results demonstrate the mechanism of action among political skill, conflict management styles, and relationship quality and verify the mediating effect of cooperative conflict management styles, providing enlightenment for future research on conflict management.
