Abstract
In megaprojects, the collaboration of all stakeholders reflects effective relationship management and is a key to project success. This research explores how collaborative behaviour among stakeholders in megaprojects is formed from a social-psychological perspective to improve the quality of collaboration. Based on the theoretical model of planned behaviour, this study established a conceptual framework for the formation mechanism for collaborative behaviour through a comprehensive literature review. The hypotheses of the model were statistically validated by using data collected from questionnaires of 235 respondents within the Chinese construction industry. The results showed that benefit perception attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control had a positive contribution to the collaborative intention and collaborative behaviour among stakeholders in megaprojects. Risk perception attitudes have a hindering effect on collaborative intention. Megaproject culture moderates the relationship between psychosocial factors and collaborative intention, thereby affecting stakeholders' choice of collaborative behaviour. Collaborative intention plays a partially or completely mediating role between psychosocial factors and collaborative behaviour. The findings provide theoretical and practical implications for increasing the collaborative intentions of stakeholders and facilitating their selection of positive collaborative behaviours in megaprojects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
