Abstract

Purpose

To effectively implement knowledge management, one prerequisite is to understand and implement the knowledge management enablers in the sense of optimal institutional efficiency. This paper aims to analyze and measure the significant enablers in overseeing knowledge management in the construction sector.

Design/methodology/approach

The mixed-method technique was used to achieve the objective of this study and involved the application of detailed questions to project engineers and project managers within leading construction engineering companies, provided by the Institution of Engineering and Technology Ghana. In total, 150 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences v. 26.

Findings

The study confirms that the knowledge management enablers such as employees knowledge, motivations, effective decisions and strategic planning are some of the important ways in which construction professionals can achieve different strategic goals in many processes and concluded that the progress of the next generation knowledge management strategy will be based on content sharing, decision-making and by promoting the free flow of ideas.

Originality/value

The study offers perspectives into knowledge management enablers and recommends key performance factors, championed by Ghanaian construction contractors for institutional knowledge capture.

Abstract

Purpose

This research aims to establish a comprehensive approach that integrates the aspects to describe how knowledge is focused, developed, reassigned, and implemented to increase project effectiveness. This study examines the interaction of social factors that influences tacit knowledge sharing, absorptive capacity, and project site performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The data were collected from Chinese project-based organizations and examined using structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the model and evaluate the hypothesis.

Findings

The findings reveal that good knowledge governance and tacit knowledge sharing are essential prerequisites to boost the project’s absorptive capability. Furthermore, social dynamics favorably modify the link between absorptive capacity, tacit knowledge sharing, and project results. The findings are supportive of the proposed model in general.

Originality/value

This research addresses the critical issue of project knowledge management systems and presents a comprehensive framework that broadens the technical and interpretative bounds of current models designed to achieve project success.
