Perceptions of status and TMO workgroup cooperation: implications for project governance
Achieving and sustaining the cooperation of individuals with their temporary multi-organization (TMO) workgroups is, arguably, one of the most enduring challenges facing the construction sector. A mediational model connecting pride and self-respect to each of four dimensions of cooperative behaviour-in-role, compliance, extra-role, and deference-is tested in a survey sample of 140 construction professionals in Hong Kong. Bootstrap tests of the indirect effect of pride on cooperative behaviour suggest that self-respect fully mediates the influence of pride on in-role behaviour and compliance behaviour, and partially mediates the influence of pride on extra-role behaviour. The results also suggest that pride has no effect on deference behaviour. While needing corroboration by future research, the findings suggest that viable strategies designed to foster pride and self-respect could engender and sustain cooperation in construction TMO workgroups, and support ongoing efforts to reform construction. The bootstrapping procedures for testing intervening variable models are elaborated in the hope that this will encourage more process analysis research in construction. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC

BusiROLE: A Model for Integrating Business Roles into Identity Management
Abstract. The complexity of modern organisations ’ IT landscapes has grown dramatically over the last decades. Many enterprises initiate role projects in order to reorganise their access structures based on an organisation-wide Identity Management Infrastructure (IdMI). This paper surveys role models and related literature and identifies different role properties. It shows that current role models are not feasible for their usage in IdMIs. By implementing one single type of role they fail to take business requirements and different role perceptions into account. This paper improves the current situation by developing busiROLE, a role model that integrates various types of roles, fulfilling business- as well as IT requirements, and is hence usable in IdMIs
