“…Outsourcing differs from subcontracting and is intended to increase profit by focusing on the execution of key tasks for which the construction company possesses the highest level of expertise. This significantly distinguishes subcontract activities and enables the construction company to develop its long-term competitive advantages [17]. Outsourcing refers to executing activities and processes previously executed by in-house resources by an external party [18].…”

“…In contrast, subcontracting usually refers to the practice of bringing in an outside firm or individual to perform specific parts of a contract or project. Therefore, subcontracting is a tactical option (i.e., using many contractors' resources to benefit their capabilities) [20], [17].…”

“…The Follow-up process started after the commencement of the project and included monitoring the activities and schedule updating. Schedule updating is adding actual project information including the actual start date for activities, the actual finish date for activities, the percentage of work completed for activities, and any changes to the remaining work [17]. Popescu and Charoenngam [18] defined an updated schedule as a version of the schedule that shows the project status at a certain date for completed activities, in-progress activities, and changes in the sequence.…”

Engineering tasks performed by construction firms, including design review, preparation of shop drawings, planning and follow-up, cost control, value engineering, and as-built drawings, are essential for completing construction projects. Contractors usually perform these tasks using their resources. However, some contractors outsource engineering activities to specialized engineering or consultant firms. The main objective of this article is to review and summarize outsourcing studies published in different databases. In addition, studies related to engineering tasks by construction firms are reviewed to relate to the most comprehensive research on outsourcing these tasks. The overview process includes a basic definition of outsourcing and the different engineering tasks performed by construction firms. Additionally, this study presents the drivers of outsourcing, risks, and outsourcing decisions. The study highlighted a shortage of existing research on the outsourcing of engineering tasks performed by construction firms. It may serve as a starting point for researchers interested in outsourcing engineering tasks.

“…As a result of the analysis, expert groups have been identified, which can provide a comprehensive assessment of the level of impact of the interaction between the construction enterprise and stakeholders in different directions of the construction enterprise. The main areas of analysis of the effectiveness of interaction with stakeholders are financial, economic, intellectual, legal, social, and technical-environmental indicators (Bharadwaj and Saxena, 2009;Simenko, 2010;Tian et al, 2016;Chernysh et al, 2018;Ryzhakov et al, 2020).…”

This article is devoted to issues of interaction of stakeholders of construction enterprises. First of all, the peculiarities of the construction industry are defined, which form additional requirements for the development of an integrated system for assessing interaction with stakeholders. Second, approaches to the formation of a register of potential stakeholders have been identified. A template for analysis has been developed, and individual examples are grouped by interaction directions. The methodology of identifying potential stakeholders by means of a three-level process of applying different versions of expert assessment methods in order to minimize their negative factor – subjectivity, is proposed. Methods of direct selection of experts and algorithms of their assessment are defined. Proposals to rank stakeholders according to their priority and potential result from their interaction with the construction enterprise have been developed. According to the integral assessment, ways of controlling the processes of interaction with stakeholders of different ranking levels are proposed, recommendations for building a further strategy for managing these processes are given. A system of modeling interaction between construction enterprises and stakeholders to ensure planning, organization, monitoring, and control processes in optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic scenarios has been created. Recommendations for further use of the methodology of integral assessment of the interaction of stakeholders of construction enterprises in practice are given.

The construction industry is known to present various stress-inducing conditions for its workforce, especially for workers under different employment arrangements. This research aims to investigate the influence of employment status (permanent and temporary workers) on the perception of well-being at work (WBW). The study also aims to assess whether variables such as satisfaction, commitment, and involvement are statistically significant in evaluating construction workers’ WBW. The research was conducted at various construction sites located in the Brazilian Amazon. A total of 376 responses were obtained using the Work Well-being Inventory (IBET-13) questionnaire. A multiple linear regression model was constructed to understand the relationship between self-perceived well-being (dependent variable) by employees and employment status, satisfaction, commitment, and involvement at work (independent variables). The results suggest that the employment arrangement does not significantly impact the evaluation of well-being, indicating that other factors may mediate the relationship between WBW and mental health, as well as contribute to explaining this result, such as current legislation, occupational characteristics, and unique aspects of the Brazilian reality. The research findings can contribute to the development of strategies that promote a more sustainable and healthy construction environment for workers.
