“…If a party discusses with the other party, behaves flexibly, and responds to the changes or risks arising from unexpected situations, the other party will be assured that this party attaches great importance to cooperation (Macneil, ), which can increase satisfaction (Anderson & Sullivan, ). Furthermore, the opportunity for future relationships is also strongly determined by the extent of execution in relational norms (Suprapto, Bakker, & Mooi, ). Such positive discussions and flexible responses to unexpected events may be seen as a signal that opportunistic behavior is not likely to occur in the future or that the other party is committed to the preservation of the relationship, with the result that confidence and commitment will be increased (Aulakh, Kotabe, & Sahay, ).…”

Previous studies have paid insufficient attention to how interorganizational task conflict affects relationship quality between parties. On the basis of survey data from the construction industry, this study explores the impact of interorganizational task conflict on relationship quality and the mediating role of relational behavior. The empirical results reveal that task conflict affects relationship quality (including satisfaction, trust, and commitment) negatively. Relational behavior has three dimensions: flexibility, information exchange, and solidarity. Information exchange partially mediates the effect of task conflict on satisfaction, trust, and commitment; solidarity plays a partial mediating role in the impact of task conflict on trust and commitment; and flexibility only mediates the impact of task conflict on satisfaction partially. Relational behavior in accordance with relational norms can partially account for the impact of interorganizational task conflict on relationship quality. This paper also provides practical guidance for construction practitioners.

“…Here, the daily managerial interventions that are not necessarily visible in management models are important for successful collaboration (Suprapto et al 2015). The practice approach implies exploring management as fostering collaboration practices while situated in context, formed in time, related to others and connected to socio-materiality (see Korica et al 2015).…”

Collaboration across company borders in multi-partner construction projects has proven to be challenging. An increasing number of projects aim to strengthen such collaboration by collocating project members from different companies in the same physical space. Yet we know little about the management practices required for taking advantage of such a collaborative space. To begin to remedy this shortcoming, we present an in-depth case study of a hospital construction project that applied a collaborative space and focus on the management practices influencing this space. With the help of affordance theory, we identified two types of management practices and show how they transform across project phases. These management practices included designing the physical elements of the collaborative space, and creating shared collaboration practices for the space. We contribute to the construction management literature by taking the first step in conceptualizing the connections between space, management and collaboration practices in the context of multipartner projects. We suggest managers to consider carefully what kind of collaboration practices the space is expected to enhance and plan the physical and social space to support it.

“…Lowest bid award methodology is one of the most popular bidding techniques used for project award. Increased application of lowest bidder technique has promoted inadequacy and unseemliness amongst the submitted bids and resulted in the repetitive occurrence of disputes, cost overruns and time extension (Leśniak, 2015;Setiawan et al, 2015;Suprapto et al, 2015a;Chang, 2017;Yang et al, 2017). As a result, if the Indian government and its subsidiaries as well as privately managed construction organizations have learned a lesson, have adapted to recent advances and invite worthy bidders, yet it is still important to research prequalification criteria and the target of the prequalification and bid assessment forms (Hatush and Skitmore, 1997).…”

Purpose: Recent studies show that lowest bidder technique is mainly used in developing countries such as India to award a contract. It has been demonstrated that the lowest bid is not always the accurate one and can lead to cost overruns and time extensions amongst other problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the critical factors impacting contractor’s efficiency in Indian construction projects. Research approach: A survey was sent to participants of construction projects awarded by the government with the lowest bidder technique in Uttar Pradesh, India. For further research, snowball sampling was used, and structured interviews were conducted amongst experienced managers and engineers of these projects on both client’s and contractor’s side.Findings: It was observed that, to a greater extent, the delays were caused due to contractor’s opportunistic behaviour. The main findings are that new bidding methodologies are to be tested as they can lead to the choice of a more accurate and realistic bidder. In addition, subjective evaluation components, such as schedule and workforce, should be reflected in contract award methods in addition to the cost criteria. Further studies should be performed on the choice of contract awarding methodology based on the project size and type. Originality value: The researcher’s focus was to analyze the influence of contracting methodologies and factors affecting contractor’s performance in lowest bid award project, where this is an area of least focus amongst researchers in the Indian subcontinent.
