• Abstract:
  This two-year EPSRC project focuses on the utilization and exploitation of IT for team working in the construction, manufacturing and the financial sectors. One aim is to discover what the construction industry can learn from other industries. The study employs a combination of research approaches, including case studies, ethnographic interviews, semi-structured interviews, postal questionnaires, the analysis of archive documents, and practitioner and researchers' workshops. There is a substantial amount of literature in the area of IT in construction teams, many of which are based on anecdotal evidence of the perceived benefits of IT to construction activities. There are also articles based on empirical investigations, which have been conducted on construction IT. However, these mainly tend to look at IT from a wider perspective, with many of these studies failing to capture the importance of the social dimensions in their quest to produce best practice or guidance documentation. This paper attempts to contribute to our knowledge of the social aspects of IT usage, utilization and exploitation, especially as it pertains to effective and efficient employment of IT for teamworking in construction and design teams. The paper documents and discusses important social issues from a thorough review of the relevant literature in construction and other industries, as well as the tentative findings from an on-going 2-year study. It is argued that culture and motivation are important factors when studying IT usage for teamworking. The effect of IT on teamworking varies enormously and can range from being extremely positive to alarmingly negative. This is, in turn, reinforced by the cultural and motivational factors at play within the organization. The conclusions are drawn from the findings of a series of ethnographic interviews. Tentative findings indicate that certain cultural types and specific motivational factors influence the effect IT has on teamworking. The recommendation is that there is ample scope for further studies to be conducted in the social dimensions of IT, exploring the role which subcultures and different motivational constructs play in both the utilization and exploitation of IT for teamworking in small, medium and large construction enterprises, and brining these issues to the attention of practitioners
