“…Knowledge is the most important resource needed for project management, and a lack of knowledge management is one of the main reasons for project failure [75]. The same was confirmed in our research, so we agree with the statements of Gasik (2011) [75], Moud & Abbasnejad (2012) [50], and Emiliano de Souza et al (2022) [76] that during the implementation of the project, various forms of information and knowledge are generated in the organization, which must be captured and shared with other projects because, if this does not happen, they will be irretrievably lost.…”

The primary aim of the presented paper is the identification of barriers to knowledge sharing by scientific R&D project team members in a Czech academic environment. In order to fulfill this aim, secondary analysis was used to process the literature search in the context of the problem being solved, and qualitative and quantitative research in the form of a structured interview and a questionnaire survey were used to identify the barriers to knowledge sharing by scientific R&D project team members. The essential output of the presented paper is the identification of barriers to knowledge sharing by members of the scientific R&D project team in Czech public and private universities and the discussion of their causes and impacts in scientific R&D projects. With regard to the aim of the presented paper and the formulated research questions, our effort is that the presented discussion outputs are not only academic considerations but scientific analyses and outputs capable of concrete life. Above all, we propose an innovation of Riege's model of barriers to knowledge sharing, as it was chosen as a comparative basis for our research; however, it was found that it is not applicable in the current conditions of scientific R&D project management in the Czech academic environment.

“…It is because they can effectively share and exploit the knowledge that they can thus develop in a more absorptive capacity. This knowledge-based cohesion within the team drives innovation performance (Nazari et al, 2021) and project success (Emiliano de Souza et al, 2021). A strong degree of cohesion in teams is more likely to produce better coordination and performance outcomes over time (Marques-Quinteiro et al, 2019).…”

We examined the impact of knowledge-oriented leadership on project success via team cohesion and the moderating role of valuing people and project complexity on this relationship. We collected data from 121 project employees in Pakistan in a two-wave field survey at an interval of 15 days. The results showed a positive association between knowledge-oriented leadership and project success, and team cohesion partially mediated this relationship. Valuing people positively moderated the relationship between knowledge-oriented leadership and team cohesion. Project complexity had a negative but insignificant moderating effect on project success. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

“…So, the PMPs’ standardized environment may benefit from such learning and adaptation by complementing the effect of practices on performance and making the procedures more effective concerning the environment. However, despite the previous literature addressing the impact of AC on PP, the relationship between PP and knowledge management requires more investigation (Favoretto and Carvalho, 2021; Souza et al. , 2022).…”

PurposeThe absorptive capacity (AC) leads to firm performance and influences the development and evolution of capabilities and routines, but the influence of AC in projects remains unclear. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of AC on project performance (PP) in the construction industry of Sao Paulo State, Brazil.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a survey questionnaire with project managers and collected 157 responses in the construction sector. They also used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and multiple linear regression techniques to assess the data.FindingsThe study provides empirical evidence that realized absorptive capacity (RAC) has a direct and indirect positive effect on PP. Conversely, the potential absorptive capacity (PAC) only indirectly impacts PP through project management practices (PMPs). PAC and RAC positively influence PMPs that in turn positively influence PP. The findings reinforce the relevance of AC to the development of internal knowledge for processes and routines, thereby enhancing PP.Practical implicationsThe findings provide practical implications: the AC influences PP by refining and adapting routines. Moreover, the consistent application of accepted practices is not enough for PP, but the ability to adapt, adjust and transform the relevant knowledge into routines.Originality/valueThis paper provides empirical evidence that the knowledge application of PMPs improves organizational performance through PP. However, despite what the literature has discussed, this paper proved that AC has no effect as a moderating factor between PMPs and performance; however, AC's role significantly impacts PP through PMPs.
