Research Progress and Prospects on Inter-Organizational Conflict in Construction Projects
This study conducts a systematic literature review with 94 articles centering on inter-organizational construction conflicts,published in high-quality Chinese and English journals.It is found that studies focusing on conflicts during the project cooperation period explore the antecedents and consequences of different types of conflicts as well as various conflict management behaviors.Literature viewing the conflict as an event explores the impact of conflict event characteristics,antecedents and consequences of conflict management behaviors,and the unfolding process of a conflict event.Then,the shortcomings of previous studies are analyzed from concept definition,perspective selection and management implications.Finally,it is suggested that future studies should further explore the complex inter-organizational conflict phenomenon from four aspects:revealing conflict process mechanisms,exploring conflict network formation and evolution,formulating management interventions during and after the conflict,and extending research methods.Through these efforts,inter-organizational conflict management theory could be enriched.
