“…Based on the proximity of stakeholder relationships with projects, stakeholders can be divided into the direct-internal-contractual and the indirect-external-public groups (Zeng et al, 2015). It was found from the results that stakeholders from the two groups have distinctive domains on the SRIs.…”

“…Currently, research on SR in the construction industry is fragmented, and especially SR at project level lacks attention (Zeng et al, 2015). Instead of evaluating stakeholders' general influences, this research shed light on the dynamic stakeholder power on specific social issues, which are currently not addressed in general stakeholder theories due to the complexity of stakeholder environment.…”

“…Considering the limited research on SR in construction project contexts (Zeng et al, 2015), this research firstly discusses the definitions for SR and SRIs in construction projects for providing a common ground and maintaining consistency in future study. The controversial aspects of the concept were discussed in this research.…”

Construction projects involve multiple stakeholders with different abilities that enable them to deal with the social problems that arise during the project lifecycle. This research aims to study the dynamic stakeholder power in implementing social responsibility issues in construction projects. Empirical research among Hong Kong construction industry practitioners was conducted to investigate the powers of seven stakeholders over thirty-five social responsibility issues. The data was analyzed using two-mode social network analysis methods and processed by Netminer 4. It was found from the results that internal and external stakeholders have control in different domains pertaining to social responsibility issues, but it does not mean either group has superior power. Ranked by the power status on social responsibility issues, the seven stakeholders are classified into five hierarchies: 1) governments, developers, and main contractors; 2) district councils, 3) consultants; 4) non-government organizations; 5) end users. The dynamic nature of stakeholders' powers has been elucidated by describing the power changes in different project stages, as well as in different social responsibility dimensions.

“…They can bring a series of profound impacts to society, including economic development (Banerjee et al, 2012;Gibson and Olivia, 2010), poverty reduction (Ferraro and Hanauer, 2014), productivity promotion (Aschauer, 1989;Demetriades and Mamuneas, 2000;Haughwout, 2002), social resource redistribution (Behrens, 2011), and urban-rural coordination (Shen et al, 2012). There are several characteristics of infrastructure mega-projects: They involve huge investments, long implementation cycles, high levels of complexity, various stakeholders, and potential environmental risks (O'Connor et al, 2015;Qiu, 2007;Zeng et al, 2015), which makes it a great challenge to build and manage infrastructure mega-projects (Ma et al, 2017). Therefore, due to the crucial strategic role and complexity of infrastructure mega-projects, issues about the social responsibility and sustainability of infrastructure mega-projects have attracted widespread attention from scholars and experts both in academia and the industry (Flyvbjerg, 2014;Lin et al, 2016;Miller and Hobbs, 2005).…”

Social responsibility in infrastructure mega-projects: A case study of ecological compensation for Sousa chinensis during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Abstract Ecological compensation plays an important role in implementing the social responsibility of infrastructure mega-projects. Based on the results of a field study, an in-depth interview, and archive data, this paper introduces the ecological compensation for Sousa chinensis (the Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphin) during the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. It studies the concrete measures, decision-making processes, and organizational collaboration of the ecological compensation, using the method of a case study. The present study not only enriches our understanding of the ecological compensation practice during the construction of infrastructure mega-projects, but also extends the literature on the social responsibility of infrastructure mega-projects. This sheds light on the protection of the environment as well as biodiversity in the construction of future infrastructure mega-projects.

“…A justificativa para esta opção de investimento, se dá pelos resultados positivos que a implantação da infraestrutura impacta no desenvolvimento econômico (criação de novos empregos e de relações internacionais), social (melhoria de renda pessoal e ganho de qualidade de vida) e para o ambiente (revitalização de lugares) do país que está inserido (ZENG et al, 2015).…”

Resumo: Os projetos de grandes obras no segmento infraestrutura, construção, plantas industriais, papel e celulose, energia, mineração e em petróleo e gás são denominados por Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC), que representam uma modalidade contratual crescente no mercado. Por se tratar de grandes projetos, as empresas EPCistas precisam periodicamente buscar novos métodos e conhecimentos em gerenciamento de projetos, para obter sucesso na entrega de seus empreendimentos. Neste viés, este artigo tem como objetivo compreender a influência de práticas de conhecimento (PGCs) na obtenção de sucesso de projetos EPC em empresas brasileiras de engenharia. Por tanto, foi realizada uma survey com 94 profissionais da área de gerenciamento de projetos. Estes analisaram 37 PGCs pré definidas neste estudo, associando-as com a dimensão de aprendizagem organizacional de sucesso do modelo teórico também proposto neste trabalho. Os resultados da regressão logística determinaram que 5 PGCs possuem relevante significância para cada uma das dimensões, e 3 contribuem para o sucesso deste tipo de projeto. Assim, do ponto de vista científico, os resultados obtidos ampliam a compreensão sobre o tema estudado e oferecem do ponto de vista profissional, a oportunidade de se aplicar melhorias por meio das PGCs identificadas, apoiando assim, a tomada de decisão por parte de gerentes de projetos EPC. Palavras-chave: Sucesso de Projetos. Gerenciamento de Projetos. Projetos EPC. Gestão do Conhecimento.Abstract: Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) projects represent a growing type of contract in the market. This kind of large project involves high costs, and different interfaces, so that engineering companies always need to find new methods and knowledge in project management. Therefore, this study aims to understand the influence of knowledge management practices (KMPs) in obtaining success of EPC projects in Brazilian engineering companies. So, one survey research with the participation of 94 professionals in project management area was held. Which, they analyzed 37 pre KMPs defined in this study, associating them with the theoretical model of success dimensions also proposed by this work. The results of logistic regression determined that 5 KMPs have important significance for each dimension, and 3 contribute to the success of this type of project. So from a scientific point of view, the results of this study extend the understanding of the subject studied and offer the professional point of view the opportunity to apply improvements through identified PGC sand thereby help the decision making by managers of this type of projects.
