Construction management on one large project in London: A case study

Relationship conflict in construction: A literature review

“…The top identified source of relationship conflict is attitudes/personality traits (Chen et al, 2017; Dodd & Langford, 1990; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Jaffar et al, 2011; Senaratne & Udawatta, 2013; Vaux & Kirk, 2018), and the most often described attitude was an “old‐school” attitude which can be summarized as “The man was belligerent, knew best and couldn't be told anything about construction, had done it all” (Gardiner & Simmons, 1998, p. 37). Personality traits instrumental in relationship conflict manifest themselves through personality clashes involving negative emotions, tension, conflict escalation and heightened stress (Chen et al, 2017; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Senaratne & Udawatta, 2013; Vaux & Kirk, 2018).…”

“…Lack of communication and withholding information was the second most often identified source of relationship conflict (Brockman, 2014; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Jaffar et al, 2011; Senaratne & Udawatta, 2013; Vaux & Kirk, 2018) followed by coordination of trades/task interdependency/resource allocation (Brockman, 2014; Dodd & Langford, 1990; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Gunarathna et al, 2018) and working conditions such as long hours, weather, workspace, job insecurity (Brockman, 2014; Chen et al, 2017; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Jaffar et al, 2011).…”

“…Project task interdependency experienced through the coordination of trades was identified as a key source of relationship conflict (Brockman, 2014; Dodd & Langford, 1990; Gardiner & Simmons, 1998; Gunarathna et al, 2018). Brockman (2014) found coordination of trades as a primary trigger to relationship conflict.…”

“…Gardiner and Simmons (1998) identified coordination of trades and the ensuing task interdependency combined with multiple social interdependencies as the most frequent cause of interpersonal conflict. Both Dodd and Langford (1990) and Gunarathna et al (2018) maintained that a high multi-disciplinary involvement among subcontractors was a prime source for relationship conflict.…”
