Impact Mechanism of Shared Leadership Behavior on the Performance of Large-scale Engineering Construction Projects

摘要

As a new type of leadership style that can enhance team effectiveness,shared leadership has received a lot of attention from scholars.However,few studies have focused on its positive role in the engineering construction team.This paper explores the impact of shared leadership behavior on the performance of large-scale engineering projects and discusses the mediating role of employee participation.The research of the employees and their direct leaders in 41 project teams of the 12 construction companies shows that shared leadership behavior has a significant positive effect on project performance,employee participation plays a part mediating role in the relationship between shared leadership behavior and project performance.In a society where the knowledge economy and information technology are developing rapidly,combining shared leadership behavior with large-scale engineering construction projects will inevitably bring benefits to large-scale engineering construction projects.
