Abstract

Large hospital construction projects demand a better way to deal with uncertainty and complexity connected with the large number and variety of stakeholders, their individual goals, and the alignment of their goals with the shared project goals. As observed by various scholars, these conditions often lead to opportunistic behaviours among project stakeholder and negatively impact their relationships. This article aims to address the issue of opportunism in construction projects by proposing a list of mechanisms and related actions that can develop collaborative behaviour among project stakeholders and restrict opportunism. We have adopted the qualitative research approach and applied the systematic text condensation method in this study. Our findings suggest that different mechanisms need to be adopted in tandem depending on the project delivery method. Accordingly, project managers need to apply these mechanisms and related actions in different phases of project alliancing.
