TL;DR: In this article, the authors found generational and gender differences in experiences of work, workplace support and mentoring for career development among project managers working in a project-based economy, and found that a growing percentage of Australia's workforce is employed in projectbased or project-oriented organisations, leading to the claim that Australia is a projectbased economy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical understanding of the impact of design decision-making on the occupational health and safety (OHS) of construction workers is developed based on an empirical analysis of the design and construction of a food processing facility.
Abstract: Drawing upon an empirical analysis of the design and construction of a food processing facility, a theoretical understanding of the impact of design decision-making on the occupational health and safety (OHS) of construction workers is developed. It is argued that current policy and legislative approaches to Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD) are inherently limited because they do not adequately reflect the socio-material complexity of decision-making in construction design. Specifically, the simplistic attribution of responsibility to a single socio-technical actor, ‘the designer’, does not reflect the multiple and disparate influences that impact upon OHS outcomes. Nor do existing CHPtD policy frameworks, management processes and tools recognize the manner in which the interactions and associations between relevant project stakeholders and various non-human artefacts shape (and are also influenced by) the evolution of design decisions. Drawing on actor-network theory (ANT) and using e...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of four important factors on project success: resource allocation, team leader authority, significant project objectives, and top management involvement, and found that a project team's ability to function efficiently is positively related to resource allocation and significant objectives.
Abstract: Launching and supporting successful maintenance projects is an overlooked aspect of maintenance management research. This paper examines the effects of four important factors on project success: resource allocation, team leader authority, significant project objectives, and top management involvement. Additionally, we investigate the moderating effects of top management involvement on the relationship between inputs and team performance. By examining the responses from 60 industrial teams we found that a project team's ability to function efficiently is positively related to resource allocation and significant project objectives and negatively related to team leader authority and top management involvement. A project team's ability to achieve its business goals was positively related to significant project objectives. Moreover, the relationship was stronger for significant project objectives and project efficiency when top management was involved. The moderator also enhanced the team leader authority–goal...

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of a field study of technology-based projects identify specific barriers and drivers to effective team performance and provide insight into the organizational environment and managerial leadership conducive to high project performance in technology-oriented team environments.
Abstract: :The results of a field study of technology-based projects identify specific barriers and drivers to effective team performance. The article provides insight into the organizational environment and managerial leadership conducive to high project performance in technology-oriented team environments. The results suggest that many of the performance criteria have their locus outside of the project organization; yet managerial leadership, at both the project level and senior management level, has significant impact on the team environment that ultimately affects team and project performance. In addition to managing the technical aspects of the project, team leaders must pay particular attention to the people side, managing relations across the entire work process, including support functions, suppliers, sponsors, and partners. An engineering manager can use this article to gain additional perspective into the processes of teamwork, and to glean ideas for enhancing project team performance in technolog...
