Abstract: Abstract Communication has been considered a crucial factor in successful project management. This study examines the associations among different types of network centrality of project participants, expertise coordination, administrative coordination, and communication efficiency in construction projects. Based on the data of 12 companies in China, this study empirically tests the hypothesis. We conduct social network analysis to understand the relationships between project participants of different organizations and the characteristics of communication networks in construction projects. Results of regression analysis connote that the degree centrality of actors, expertise coordination, and administrative coordination can positively impact communication efficiency. An in-depth study of different network roles and structures can provide a meaningful reference for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational communication in construction projects.
