“…Knowledge management is only seen as an ideal, not a reality. Nevertheless, construction organisations can still benefit from the proactive transfer of knowledge across their various projects, create synergies within their organisations, and learn from the past experiences and successes of others for increased performance and productivity (Williams, Fugar and Adinyira, 2021). These are only possible if construction organizations can devise means for collecting, storing, transmitting, and repurposing knowledge as a priority (Berg, et al, 2012).…”

The efficient knowledge transfer among project group members can help those individuals do their jobs more successfully. However, there are challenges with effective and efficient knowledge transfer within the construction industry. Past research has assumed that all information can be articulated and codified, thus focusing on the transfer that generates the supply of knowledge. There seems not to be a comprehensive strategy for dealing with reverse, intra-firm information transfer that considers several elements and the interconnections between them. The current study developed a conceptual framework that comprehensively overviews knowledge transmission variables. A total of 128 papers from Scopus and Web of Science and publisher databases like Taylor & Francis, Elsevier, Emerald Insight, and Google Scholar were evaluated between 1990 and 2021. The data were evaluated using ATLAS.ti 9 software tool. The study contributed significantly to the impression of knowledge transfer by the construction industry. It also suggests that organisations should inspire and increase the involvement and evaluation of knowledge dissemination. In addition, a set of factors for efficient information transfer was identified and described in detail. Effective communication strategies should include establishing regular and efficient communication, creating a community of practice with common goals, creating a sense of urgency and connection to the challenge, and continuously transferring information amongst organisation members.

“…Existing studies on corporate reputation have demonstrated its relationship with financial performance and stakeholders including its impact on firm size in developed countries (Schaarschmidt and Walsh 2020;Franco and Haase 2021). However, most of the existing studies have not addressed the effects of site accidents on corporate and Aboagye-Nimo 2022), impacts of accidents and hazards (Osei-Asibey et al 2021), health status of young construction workers (Frimpong et al 2022) and health and safety knowledge transfer by Williams et al (2021). These studies identified issues such as lack of education and training, prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, substance abuse and mental health problems.…”

Brief introduction to the Problem Construction accident studies often overlook the internal perspective of employees on site accidents’ impact on corporate reputation. Purpose This study investigates the effects of construction site accidents on corporate reputation from an internal viewpoint of stakeholders, focusing on employees. It also determines the extent of the association between site accidents and corporate reputation in middle-income economies. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach was used, with 150 survey questionnaires administered to employees in construction firms using purposive sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools, including the Pearson correlation and factor analysis, were used to analyse the results. Findings Site accidents have 17 identified effects on corporate reputation, negatively impacting leadership, financial management, ethics, shareholder value, and sustainability. Originality This study highlights the significant impact of construction site accidents on corporate reputation from an internal perspective of employees and identifies the need for more research on this issue. It has the potential to influence construction health and safety research focus, which has previously not addressed the issue of corporate reputation from an internal perspective.
