Research on the Factors Affecting Knowledge Transfer among Participants in Engineering Project

Article Preview

Abstract:

Effective transfer of knowledge is one of the key factors for the successful performance of engineering projects. In this paper, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) on the Impact factors of knowledge transfer among project participants is established. Lisrel software is used to test the model and assumptions and the factors that affect knowledge transfer are analyzed and eventually get. According to the analysis results, some suggestions for improving efficiency of knowledge transfer in engineering projects are presented also.
