Predmety: CONSTRUCTION projects, INTERPRETATION & construction of contracts, ECONOMIC uncertainty, RELATIONSHIP quality
Abstrakt: Construction projects are confronted with disruptive events. This study explores the effects of contractual governance on construction project resilience. By adopting an integrative perspective (i.e. integrating the governance stage perspective and the contract content perspective), this study divides contractual governance into contract design (furthermore contract specificity and contract flexibility) and contract application. Besides, this study explores the mediating role of relational ties and the moderating effects of environmental uncertainty. Survey data were collected from Chinese construction firms. The results suggest that contract specificity and flexibility enhance proactive and reactive resilience while relational ties partially mediate the above enhancements. Contract application hampers reactive resilience. Besides, environmental uncertainty strengthens the positive role of contract flexibility. Theoretically, this study investigates the less-explored construction project resilience and its antecedents and contributes to explaining the contradictory role of contractual governance by adopting the integrative perspective. Practically, this study provides recommendations to enhance construction project resilience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
