“…As the inter-project knowledge transfer occurs between the source project and recipient project, the transfer is inevitably influenced by the project characteristics, which must be taken into consideration (Zhao et al, 2015). These characteristics mainly include uncertainty and ambiguity (Mehta et al, 2014), one-off characteristics of projects (Scarbrough et al, 2004), temporary (Ren et al, 2018;Sun et al, 2019), geographical distance (Wiewiora et al, 2009), similarity (Zhao et al, 2015;Ren et al, 2018) and urgency (Zhao et al, 2015;Ren et al, 2018;Sun et al, 2019). In these characteristics, similarity and urgency have been suggested as the important features influencing inter-project knowledge transfer (Zhao et al, 2015;Ren et al, 2018), which are taken as potential influencing factors in this study.…”

Purpose Numerous studies highlight the importance of knowledge transfer between projects, but the influence factors are still debated. As a contribution to the identified gap, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of organizational context, project characteristics and social relations in the inter-project knowledge transfer within the project-based organizations (PBOs). Design/methodology/approach This paper collects the data through 268 sample questionnaires from Chinese construction sectors and applies the structure equation modeling to analyze knowledge transfer between projects in PBOs. Findings The results indicate the organizational context (meeting system, reward system and shared culture) and project characteristics (similarity and urgency) are antecedents affecting social relations (communication, trust and reciprocity) between project teams, and their social relations further influence the effectiveness of inter-project knowledge transfer. Originality/value The study highlights the role of organizational context and effect of social relations for inter-project knowledge transfer in PBOs, and provides valuable suggestions for knowledge and project management in PBOs.

“…A no-blame culture is a supportive environment that encourages innovation amongst team members, because it enables them to speak up and share their ideas (Edmondson and Lei 2014). Therefore, a no-blame culture is a 'sharing culture', which is an important facilitator of knowledge transfer across construction project cooperation networks (Sun et al 2019). Finally, this study suggests that if project managers ignore the importance of no blame culture and collaborative teamwork within a cross functional design team, the impact of integrated project delivery methods will be severely compromised.…”

“…For example, Hallowell (2012) performed 11 case studies of general contractors in American construction organizations to investigate how safety knowledge management strategies were employed in construction safety. Additionally, several works explored how knowledge impacts safety behaviors (Guo et al 2016) and the safety climate or culture (Ni et al 2018), how knowledge-transfer mechanisms are performed (Sun et al 2019), how knowledge management benefits design and construction firms (Forcada et al 2013), etc.…”

The literature and practices of construction safety management have highlighted the importance of domain knowledge. Effectively extracting the domain knowledge elements (DKEs) of construction safety management remains a challenging task. To address this problem, this paper develops a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) approach for extracting DKEs from Chinese text documents in the domain of construction safety management. First, a linguistic pattern of DKEs was constructed according to lexical analysis and syntactic dependency parsing. Then, the extraction rules and workflow paths were established and tested. The results showed that most DKEs in the domain of construction safety management are composed of specific compound parts of speech (nouns and noun phrases), specific dependencies of words (attribution, verb-object,
