Research On Knowledge Transfer In Construction Project Cooperation Network

As an important resource for sustainable development of enterprises,knowledge is receiving more attention.In today's competitive society,any enterprises need to cooperate with other companies in order to achieve win-win.Learning advanced knowledge from cooperation platform becomes an important channel for the enterprises access to external knowledge resources.With the construction industry request of changing needs from extensive to intensive,from labor-intensive to knowledge-intensive,knowledge management play a role in the construction industry is also growing.In the project construction process,all companies involved in the project bond with each other by the construction contract and the supervision and management of relationship,their ultimate goal is to complete the project,the construction project cooperation network is forming during their communication and coordination process.This study aims at the construction project cooperation network,analysis the knowledge transfer among all the participants.On the basis of existing literatures about social networking,knowledge transfer and knowledge transfer in project context,this paper puts forward the shortcomings of social network and knowledge transfer in the field of construction engineering.According to the different participants in the different stages of the project,construct the cooperative network model of each stage respectively.The evolutionary game theory is used to analyze the prerequisites of enterprise knowledge transfer in the project cooperation network,and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the knowledge transfer status in the network through theoretical analysis and empirical study.On the basis of these,propose the influencing factors of knowledge transfer in construction project cooperation network from the perspective of project characteristics,network characteristics,knowledge providers and recipiants characteristics,design the model of knowledge transfer influencing factors.With reference of the scholars'research results,design 30 measurement items to measure various influencing factors,and distribute questionnaire to construction companies through various channels.The structural equation model analysis method,SPSS19.0 and Amos21.0 software are selected to analysis the data of 210 valid questionnaires.According to the empirical study results,analysis the results of hypotheses.Summarize the above research results,this paper puts forward some suggestions on how to enhance the effect of knowledge transfer in construction project cooperation network from the project perspective,network perspective,and knowledge provider and recipiant perspective.Based on the above research and analysis,this paper gets the following conclusions:(1)Within the construction project cooperation network,the main knowledge transferred by the enterprises is technology knowledge,quality management knowledge,environmental and security management knowledge.(2)The enterprises transfer knowledge by the face-to-face method,such as technical tests,the project regular meeting and on-site coordination conferences in construction project cooperation network.(3)Construction process is believed that the most frequently knowledge transfer stage.(4)Construction enterprise is the primary target in knowledge transfer activities as it is the main bearer of the project tasks.(5)In the context of Chinese-style"relationship",the temporary of project organization will not affect the strength of network connection and trust between knowledge transfers'.The urgency of the project will positively affect the strength of network connection and the knowledge recipient's willingness,But it will not positively affect the knowledge supplier's willingness.The strength of the network connection will positively affect the willingness of the two parties and their trust relationship.The network scale will positively affect knowledge recipient's willingness,and negative affect the trust relationship.But the effect on knowledge supplier's willingness has not been verified.The trust relationship is stronger and the willingness of knowledge transfer is higher.Knowledge recipient's willingness will positively affect the transfer effect of knowledge,and because of the particularity of the construction project,the positive effect of the knowledge supplier's willingness to effectiveness of knowledge transfer has not been verified.Based on the characteristics of construction projects,this paper from the perspective of knowledge transfer context,exploring a variety of factors that affect knowledge transfer in construction project cooperation network,depth analysis the relationship between the factors.The research results not only rich the current knowledge transfer research results,but also make up for lack of knowledge transfer research in the field of construction engineering.It will help construction companies analyze shortcomings of themselves,enhance the effectiveness of future knowledge transfer activities,targeted to enhance the effectiveness of future knowledge transfer activities.
