“…Most of the work done is in the testing phase (Yeo et al, 2020). These studies have generally focused on the use of IoT for accident prevention (Rey-Merch an et al, 2021;Yang et al, 2020;Yeo et al, 2020) and hazard identification (Costin et al, 2019;Li et al, 2018;Thirugnanasammandamoorthi and Choi, 2021) in construction safety.…”

PurposeConstruction safety is heavily affected by using new technologies in this growing trend of technology adoption. Especially, safety performance is enhanced through the utilization of some effective technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, BIM and wearable devices. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of emerging technologies on construction safety performance and quantify the relationship between those. The proposed components of emerging technologies are BIM, GIS, VR, RFID, AI, ML, eye tracking and serious games and wearable devices, whereas the dimensions of construction safety performance are safety planning, safety training, safety inspection and monitoring, safety audits and reviews and safety leadership.Design/methodology/approachA structural model was composed consisting of emerging technologies and safety performance indicators. Then, a questionnaire was designed and administered to construction professionals, and data from 167 projects were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The data were analyzed by using software, called SPSS AMOS.FindingsThe analysis of the structural model proves that there is a positive and significant relationship between emerging technologies and construction safety performance. Moreover, the factor loadings for each factor were found to be high indicating a good representation of the construct by the components developed. Among the technologies, BIM, robotics and automation, AI and wearable devices were detected to be the most significant technologies in terms of impacting safety performance.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the body of knowledge in that it develops a conceptual framework consisting of specific technologies in terms of emerging technologies, reveals the impact of such technologies on safety performance and proposes several tools and strategies for enabling effective safety management along the project lifecycle. Industry practitioners may benefit from the framework developed by adopting such technologies to enhance their safety performance on construction projects.

“…Thus, institutional logics are necessary for the construction industry as knowledge sharing is as necessary for project management firms like construction as in other sectors. For this reason, communication plays a vital role in managing projects (Li et al, 2018). Managing communication is beneficial because it enables an effective and efficient flow of information between the stakeholders and project team & environmental factors used as an input in managing communications (Harris, 2019).…”

“…Project performance is measured through delivery time, cost/budget, stakeholder's satisfaction, customer satisfaction (when perception exceeds expectations), and clients' benefits. Li et al (2018) claimed that the performance of the projects is measured through six items, deliverables aligned with client objectives, quality according to the standards, a project working within pre-budgetary requirements & already decided schedule, and project outcomes following the stakeholder's requirements. Zheng et al (2018) suggested a positive relationship between user interests and relational norms that affect project performance.…”

Impact of Institutional Environmental Factors on Project Performance-An Analysis on the Construction Projects in Lahore, Pakistan

The construction industry has experienced a dramatic boom in the economy over the last two years, due to the significance of CPEC in Pakistan. In the project’s performance, the role and concept of Institutional Environment have been extensively studied in previous literature. However, the analysis of these strategic constructs in construction firms has been minimal. Still, a gap exists in institutional factors concerning project performance. This paper aims to address this gap posits that Institutional Environmental Factors (IEFs) may impact the performance of the construction projects; also, there may be some factors that can impede or promote the performance of these projects. Data were collected from a sample of some construction firms’ management teams through semi-structured interviews. Study results suggested that coercive & normative factors of the institutional environment have a significant impact on the project performance concerning time delays and cost escalation. However, mimetic factors have less impact. This study also tries to assimilate the importance of institutional factors with the policy-making aspects of construction firms which can affect the performance of the projects. Future implications and limitations of the study are also discussed.

“…Technologies focused on enhancing knowledgesharing have also been proposed. Li et al [7] investigated the ability of various technologies to share construction safety knowledge, finding that mobile apps, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Web 2.0 could provide promising solutions for the distribution of knowledge on construction sites. A conceptual, web-based safety knowledge management system designed to improve safety performance and productivity has been discussed by Kamardeen [9].…”

“…A lack of safety knowledge has been reported as one of the main reasons for high incident rates in the construction industry [6]. In many circumstances, worksite fatalities are associated with the insufficient sharing and communication of required information [7]. The role of knowledge management in improving the performance of occupational health and safety systems has been analyzed in the academic literature [8] [9], where sharing safety knowledge and experience has been found to improve safety performance.…”

An essential component of effective safety management systems is the identification and proactive mitigation of hazards through the completion of job hazard assessment (JHA). Aimed at identifying potential hazards and subsequently implementing controls that reduce the likelihood or severity of incidents, JHA is a manual process influenced by the experiences, specific expertise, and biases of safety practitioners, rendering the development of standard mitigation strategies difficult in practice. Due to factors including ineffective information storage and dissemination systems, knowledge management of JHA data remains a challenge in the industry. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes and describes the development and application of a web-based JHA system designed to enhance JHA management efficiency by facilitating accessibility, interfacing, connectivity, and information-sharing between users during the completion of JHAs. By increasing and facilitating access to information, the proposed system can enhance the consistency of JHAs generated throughout the organization, while also ensuring that potential safety risks are not overlooked by less experienced or otherwise biased personnel. Project and safety managers validated the functionality of the proposed system; they indicated that the proposed system could enhance the efficiency and consistency with which JHAs were generated, resulting in the improvement of real practice. The proposed system's importance is described, and its approach is detailed.
