Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The construction industry is increasingly adopting innovative digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), AR/VR, and AI to improve productivity in managing construction projects and minimising risks. Recently, ensuring an industry-wide digital transformation through utilising innovative Industry 4.0 technologies has become one of the most important objectives in the construction industry to achieve time- and cost-effectiveness, improved health and safety management, as well as sustainability in the built environment. 

Managing a construction project requires both a holistic understanding of project management processes and the technical skills needed to utilise digital technologies. However, the current research on construction project management primarily focuses on stand-alone topics—either management skills or digital technology applications. 

To understand the current challenges and opportunities in utilising digital technologies for construction project management, it is instrumental to critically review the current applications of innovative digital technologies for various types of construction projects in terms of management and technological aspects.

Thus, this Special Issue focuses on identifying the status quo of the current developments in integrating construction project management and technologies and how the aforementioned digital transformation is currently reshaping the construction industry and construction project management practices.

This systematic literature review examines the effects of social media use (SMU) and practices (SMPs) on team feedback (TF) and performance (TP) within the context of construction project management. It explores the complex interactions between SMU and SMPs and their impact on communication, collaboration, and stakeholder involvement in construction projects. The study investigates how these digital practices transform traditional methods of team interaction, feedback processes, and overall team performance amidst the challenging and diverse backdrop of construction sites. The goal of the review is to offer a detailed insight into the contribution of social media to contemporary construction project management, underscoring its value in boosting team communication, coordination, and effectiveness. This research is pivotal for decoding the changing dynamics of construction management, where digital tools and platforms play a crucial role in achieving project success. The anticipated outcomes are poised to provide significant implications for construction industry professionals, guiding them in harnessing social media for enhanced project management and team cooperation.

By adopting a systematic literature and science mapping review, this paper aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on organizational justice and project performance. A total of 47 bibliographic records from the Scopus database were analyzed. The results revealed the annual publication trends of research articles and relevant peer-reviewed journals in the studied domain. It was found that while AI technology has made significant progress in several fields, its application areas in project management and organizational justice are still relatively low. Moreover, it objectively discussed the co-occurrence analysis of keywords, co-authors, countries/regions, and documents in the fields, revealing the current research topics. The main research topics include the (1) AI’s influence on organizational justice, decision analysis, and digital transformation, (2) fostering organizational justice and AI’s role in enhancing project performance, and (3) improving organizational performance approaches. Furthermore, this paper proposed research gaps and future research directions, including (1) advancing business intelligence strategies, (2) unlocking AI technology potential on organizational justice and project performance, (3) the adaption of cultural, diversity, environmental, and social factors, (4) the impact of AI on complex and challenging leadership styles, and (5) developing a comprehensive understanding of the agile framework. The findings of this paper could contribute to a better understanding of how AI shapes project/construction management and organizational justice, providing practical solutions for innovative development for researchers and policymakers.
