Project Organizational Culture Framework in Construction Industry

Luong Hai Nguyen and Tsunemi Watanabe

A chapter in Organizational Culture from IntechOpen

Abstract: Project organizational culture (POC) has been recognized as a significant influencing factor of the success or failure of a project. Although numerous studies on this topic have been conducted to develop organizational culture models, these have mainly been for generic business settings, and one has not yet been developed for construction organizations at the project level. The aim of this chapter was to perform this task in Vietnam. A case study shows that cultural artifacts were arranged into a five-factor project organizational culture framework: "Project goal setting," "Contractor assurance," "Cooperative emphasis," "Empowerment assignment," and "Workforce emphasis." The chapter's findings suggest that the construction contracting organizations are more focused on the culture of mission and adaptability, with a relatively higher emphasis on clear project goals and contractor assurance. They favored a culture of involvement less, with a relatively lower emphasis on empowerment and workforce.
