“…However, the results show that strategic workforce planning impacts project management performance [35] in addition to its role in maintaining flexibility, so that project stakeholders can manage change if the future is different from expectations [36]. This result is consistent with Papke-Shields [14], Hollenbeck and Jamieson [27], and Rajhans and Bhavsar [37].This result is explained because strategic planning is a systematic administrative process that reflects the awareness of the future and determines its dimensions, through long-term goals that reflect the comprehensive vision of the organization in the future environment, which enables stakeholders to develop a clear vision in a large way towards the future direction. And take decisions related to the future of the organization and its development, in addition to defining the procedures to be used to achieve the goals efficiently.…”

Strategic planning is an important stage in the administrative process, as it is considered a specific thinking process and style of work that enables the company to choose the best alternatives that correspond to the company's capabilities and the goals it seeks to achieve. This study aimed to find out the impact of strategic planning for human resources with its dimensions (environmental variables, needs assessment, dealing with results, human resources plan) on the performance of project management with its dimensions (time, cost, safety, quality), and to determine the strategic interaction between (HRP) on the performance of project management in infrastructure contracting companies and its role in facing external challenges. The study used the descriptive approach, through which the researcher developed a scale to answer the questions of the study. The study sample consisted of 120 employees in infrastructure contracting companies, they were divided into non-overlapping groups. The results showed the impact of strategic planning for human resources on the performance of construction project management and its contribution to raising the level of readiness of construction companies in facing external challenges and enabling them to compete with international companies, in addition to the contribution of strategic planning in facing the negative effects resulting from the Corona pandemic. The results are according to the company's age, capital, and the size of the company's project. The results of the study also showed that strategic human resource planning helps project management officials in the early detection of expected danger areas and attracts well-equipped workers with the appropriate skills to work efficiently.

“…The construction sector employs about 16% of the nation's working population and contributes over 9% of the nation's growth domestic product (GDP) (Rani, 2021). The Indian construction industry accounts for around 40% of the nation's development investment (Rajhans and Bhavsar, 2022). Globally and locally, lockdown restrictions caused by COVID-19 have restricted the movement of goods and people.…”

PurposeThe impact of COVID-19 pandemic has been severely felt by India's construction industry, which contributes heavily to economic growth and employment. An analysis of the impact of supply chain agility, supply chain resilience and information technology capability on the construction supply chain cost and delivery performance is presented in this study in an Indian scenario post-COVID-19.Design/methodology/approachAn analysis of moment structures-confirmatory factor analysis-based structural equation modeling is applied to a structured questionnaire received from 220 construction companies located in Southern India.FindingsAccording to the results, supply chain agility, supply chain resilience and information technology capability are essential capabilities for post-COVID-19 supply chain performance. Furthermore, these factors are observed to have a positive impact on improving cost and delivery performance in construction supply chains focused on building sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe results of this study can be used by other industries to ensure robustness and sustainability of business operations during post-COVID periods. Improving supply chain agility and information technology capabilities along with building resilience results in improving cost and delivery performance against disruptive scenarios.Originality/valueDespite previous studies addressing the effects of COVID-19 on supply chain performance, information technology capability, agility and resilience are not addressed in construction industry research. The current study examines the simultaneous effects of resilience, agility, and information technology capability on the cost and delivery performance of Indian construction projects.
