“…The inherent impression of the construction industry is labor-oriented, but knowledge-sharing behavior can be observed everywhere in this industry. For example, unskilled construction workers are often assigned to work with more experienced workers so that they can learn through observation and interaction [ 57 ]. Given the uniqueness and complexity of construction projects, it is impossible for people to copy best practices directly from the past but they can learn from the past [ 58 ].…”

China’s construction industry developed rapidly and safety production has become a vital issue. Improving the safety behavior of construction workers is an important measure to effectively decrease construction safety accidents. At present, a New Generation of Construction Workers (NGCWs) born after 1980 has gradually become the main force of construction companies in China and the special group characteristics coming from the intergenerational difference may make them behave differently in safety-related activities, therefore, it is very important to study how to promote their safety behavior. This paper aimed to explore the influencing mechanism of job satisfaction on the safety behavior of NGCWs and examine the mediating role of safety knowledge sharing and work engagement. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were applied to test the theoretical model. Empirical research results indicated that job satisfaction can effectively promote safety behavior through safety knowledge sharing and work engagement. Safety knowledge sharing plays a complete mediating role between job satisfaction and safety compliance behavior, as well as between job satisfaction and safety participation behavior. Moreover, work engagement plays a complete mediating role between job satisfaction and safety participation behavior, which can provide valuable management references for China’s construction companies to strengthen their safety behavior.

t— The paper introduces a new software called Software Service Supply Chain Knowledge Base CLOUD (SSSC KB CLOUD). The software provides a novel solution for knowledge capture and sharing during the development of the clients’ software projects. The main aim of this software is to facilitate sharing, transferring, retrieving, and retaining of knowledge among the experts’ group who are engaged in the different phases of the software development process. The software also provides a comprehensive management tool for daily work and tasks. It provides functions and abilities to ensure effective communication, search, and knowledge retrieval. In addition, the proposed software forms the group of experts who will complete and work on the new project and provides a mechanism to perform monitoring, reporting, tracking, and knowledge mining. The research also conducts quantitative testing to confirm the software’s functionality and efficiency; a questionnaire was welldeveloped and distributed among users in two different settings: three universities and a software company, then data was collected, and results were verified on whether the software improved the overall business productivity and knowledge externalization.
