In existing dynamic market place, supply chain disruptions have become a common phenomenon. Emergence of new technologies coupled with variable customer demand and uncertain pandemic has fueled the disruptions across the supply chain ecosystem. To cater the unanticipated disruptions, supply chains of every business has to be circular and sustainable and construction industry is no exception to this. The present study concentrates on identifying the major performance indicators of resilient Construction Supply Chain (CSC) and prioritize the most significant ones. Fuzzy–Decision Making Trial And Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to reveal the influential relationship of performance indicators on the resilience level in CSCs. Further, a strategy map is prepared to highlight the organizational strategy and cause‐effect approach. The findings from study revealed that maintaining appropriate security level, strong collaboration among supply chain partners, efficient supply chain designs, ability to detect discrepancies, bottlenecks, and vulnerabilities, and conservation of resources to facilitate sustainable operations are the top seven performance indicators that are evident in the causal group for sustainable CSC. In the effect group, prominent performance indicators are flexibility, financial strength, and efficient allocation of resources. The study adds on to the existing literature by identifying and analyzing significant performance indicators for establishing resilient, sustainable and circular practices in the construction industry.

“…Giezen (2013) argued that organizational resilience can promote open planning and construction process for megaprojects by introducing the perspectives of different project participants. Pascua and Chang-Richards (2018) proposed that organizational resilience in megaprojects is mainly reflected in strong leadership and management, competent employees, collaborative partnership, and capability to predict and respond to unexpected changes. Sapeciay et al (2019) suggested that building organization resilience index system can help construction practitioners develop, evaluate, and execute plans or strategies before and after disasters to achieve successful disaster recovery.…”

PurposeThe increasingly uncertain and unstable factors in the internal and external environments of megaprojects lead to more potential crises and challenges, hence increasing the importance of improving organizational resilience. This study aimed to explore the effects of transformational leadership and employee self-efficacy on organizational resilience from a leader–employee perspective.Design/methodology/approachBy combining the perspectives of leaders and employees, this study constructed a development mechanism of the organizational resilience of megaprojects. Organizational climate and organizational learning were selected as two organizational resources to study the mediating roles of leaders and employees. A partial least-squares structural equation model was used to test the hypotheses based on data collected from 243 respondents.FindingsResults show that transformational leadership and employee self-efficacy positively affect organizational resilience and organizational resources. Organizational learning positively mediates the effects of leader–employee factors on organizational resilience, whereas organizational climate does not.Originality/valueThis study verifies the positive role of transformational leadership and employee self-efficacy in organizational resilience and reveals the development mechanism of using organizational resources to build organizational resilience. This paper enlightens project managers and employees on how to well respond to the uncertainty and complexity of megaprojects.

The onset of the novel COVID-19 pandemic declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 has brought wide-ranging detrimental impacts on the construction industry. The industry has experienced delays in the delivery of materials, high cost of materials, suspension of activities, termination of contracts, and workforce implications among others. This array of impacts cannot be ignored by the construction industry stakeholders as they require prompt countermeasures. These repercussions necessitated the aim of this study which is to assess strategies for business continuity for the construction industry during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was guided by three research questions: 1) What is the level of resilience of contractors' businesses during the pandemic? 2) What survival measures did contractors in Kenya consider to avert the impacts of the pandemic? 3) What recovery strategies can be adopted to enhance contractors' business in post COVID-19 environment and similar occurrences? A mixed-method cross-sectional research design was employed to collect both quantitative and qualitative information. An interview schedule that contained both open-ended and closeended questions was used to collect data from 245 contractors in Kenya sampled using simple random sampling. Simple random sampling was used because the contractors were considered knowledgeable about the topic under study and therefore had an equal chance of selection to participate in the study. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and frequencies were used to interpret the findings from quantitative analysis, while qualitative data analysis was conducted using word frequency query and text search query. Further, the output was displayed using tables and charts. From the findings, it was ascertained that the level of resilience of contractors' busi-
