Summary: This study introduces project management innovation (PMI) as a determinant of project success (PS) and explores whether project governance (PG) and high-performance work practices (HPWPs) strengthen this relationship. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) confirm that project success is positively influenced by PMI, and this relationship is significantly strengthened through the moderating influence of PG and HPWPs.

Summary: This research aims to propose an algorithm for assessing organizational resilience in industrial companies and analyze the relationship between organizational resilience factors and the recovery time of key performance indicators. Due to the high degree of uncertainty in the variables, fuzzy set theory is used for modeling. The research methodology employs an enhanced fuzzy Delphi approach with fuzzy geometric mean as an aggregation operator. The relationship between organizational resilience factors and key performance indicators' recovery time is analyzed using correlation analysis. The main finding of this study is a significant negative correlation between the treated variables.

Summary: This study applies a systematic review and meta-analysis method to investigate the effects of different project complexity on project success and project management success. The results show that integrational complexity has a significant positive impact on project success and is not significantly associated with project management success. The study also discusses the effects of organizational, environmental, and technical complexity within the technical-organizational environmental (TOE) framework, and verifies the moderator of national/regional income level. These findings contribute to the understanding of project complexity and provide guidelines for achieving a balance between project success and project management success in construction projects.

Summary: Managing change order is crucial in the construction industry due to its impact on disputes, claims, productivity losses, delays, and costs. Previous studies have focused on specific organizational policies and procedures, without considering a comprehensive concept of change-order management (CHM) performance factors. This study proposes an operational and systematic CHM framework based on multidimensional performance factors, using the PLS-SEM approach to develop the model. The empirical analysis demonstrates that CHM performance factors significantly influence project performance.
