“…The construction projects are becoming more and more complex, there was growing attention about the concept of project complexity. Complexity effects planning and control of construction project; it can prevent the identification of objectives and goals; it can influence the chosen of a convenient form of project organization, or could influence project outputs [11].…”

The process of studying the complexity factors associated with the theory of complexity is one of the required study and it is importance in the construction sector in Iraq. The Complexity Theory can be understood as the study of how order and pattern emerge from chaotic systems, conversely, how complex structures and behaviors emerge from simple rules. The complexity cognizes us how to contemplate about the development process. This paper introduces a brief outcome through identification complexity factor and review the previous studies to obtain the technical outcomes about the complexity theory. The studying complexity factors related with construction projects as be part to cover complexity thinking in construction project. The results of this study show that viewing of all these areas related to the complexity of the project and how it can help the management departments in construction projects in Iraq to understanding the complexity level of their project to put best construction management plans. Many engineers and experts participated in the presentation of the study outputs, and by drawing on their opinions to participate in the closed questionnaire. The participants were (engineers in construction sites, academics, engineering management experts, and technicians with direct relationship to construction projects). Based on the frequency analysis aspect, the order of the influencing factors was reached according to its rating from (poor to strong) which reflects the conclusions associated with the study. The importance of studying these factors on knowing the degree of complexity in construction projects and developing appropriate methodology for managing them.

“…Increasing unpredictability guides to decreasing structure and low to moderately structure leads to the implementation of tasks. Small organizations with little structure lack guidance to make suitable behaviors efficiently (San Cristóbal, Carral, Diaz, Fraguela, & Iglesias, 2018). Yet, larger organizations with strict structures are compelled and lack inflection (Volberda, 1997).…”

This paper discusses the importance of installing holacracy practices in the organizations’ core values instead of hierarchy. Since the organizational structures of holacracy and hierarchy are different, the current study aims to compare the functions of both concepts in terms of the management system. Holacracy suggests a more decentralized structure, while hierarchy stands on a centralized one. In holacracy concept, power moves from leaders to processes in an organization as a whole. Further, holacracy also provides a concrete framework for encoding autonomy, agility, and purpose-alignment into the organization’s DNA. Somehow holacracy replaces the conventional management hierarchy with a new structure. In holacracy, instead of operating top-down, power is distributed throughout the organization – giving individuals and teams freedom while staying aligned to the organization’s purpose. This concept has recently been accepted & implemented in some organizations worldly. In this case, the current study aims to concentrate on the main values of holacracy and finds out that what it can really bring for the organizations.

Business progress and human development are linked to the efficient management of energy resources. The research in this paper contributes to the generalized application of good practices that reduce the vulnerability of companies. The research focuses on energy efficiency through comprehensive management systems (CMS), and “thought based on risks and opportunities”, considering the discussion about the revision of ISO 50001:2018, the basic approach of the model and the route to implement CMS for quality, safety and health in the workplace, environmental management, energy efficiency, and other risk components. This implementation route, with the acronym CMS QHSE3+, places special emphasis on the functions of strategic planning, operational and risk management, and controls, as well as on deliverables and references to examples, templates, standards, and documents, to facilitate its application general in small and medium enterprises and in the management of energy efficiency.
