Abstract:
Question: What motivates individuals with different project roles to work with lean?
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the barriers and challenges that occur when implementing lean construction despite acknowledgement that lean works.
Research Method: Discussion based on literature studies, a case and survey results from more than 160 recipients related to the case study.
Findings: this paper conclude that different roles at projects are incentivized by different measures.
Limitations: the results are deduced from surveys and a case example and not yet tested in other settings.
Implications: If incentive measures are not targeted the right audience, they might have a counterproductive effect.
Value for authors: this paper will help you get your message across and get your paper accepted for publication more quickly.
