The aim of this study is to identify practices that would enable building construction companies to adopt agile project management methodologies during the design stage of projects that use building information modelling (BIM) solutions in the designing process. Due to the benefits of agile project management methodologies, a considerable amount of research has been conducted regarding the adoption of this methodology for building construction projects. However, waterfall project management is still more widely used in the building construction industry than agile project management is. Several recent studies claim that firms could focus on adopting agile methodologies during the design stage of a building construction project because due to the advent of BIM software solutions, the design stage can be carried out in a manner such as a software development project. Since software development industry is experiencing a widespread adoption of agile methods, if the design stage of a building construction project can be carried out such as a software development project, then there is a possibility to drive agile adoption in the design stage. Based on this information, researchers found an architectural consultancy firm that has been using a BIM solution to adopt agile project management methodologies in the design stage. The authors carried out a systematic literature review and identified 10 possible practices that might drive the adoption of agile practices. Those practices were presented to the architectural consultancy firm to identify practices that they are using to successfully adopt agile methods. The findings suggest that maintaining a backlog, running sprints, engaging a cross-functional team, continuous integration, and iterative/incremental development of the design are practices that have enabled the firm to adopt agile methods. Practical and theoretical implications were derived from the findings, and suggestions for future research and limitations of the study are discussed in the discussion. Concluding remarks are provided in final section of the paper.

In today's dynamic business environment, work life balance (WLB) has become one of the key issues faced by many employees all over the world. Maintaining work life balance is an issue increasingly recognized as of strategic importance to organization and of significance to employees. There is no one agreed definition of work-life balance but it does appear that the right balance for one person may differ from the next. In simply, WLB means the amount of time you spend doing your job compared with the amount of time you spend with your family and doing things you enjoy.

The entire world faces severe environmental problems that represent a threat to the planet’s existence. Thus, protecting the environment, minimising environmental degradation, and safeguarding the earth’s natural resources are crucial. Hence, Companies in the manufacturing industry need to implement green initiatives to adhere to the initiatives of global environmental standards. The success of these companies’ efforts is mainly determined by how employees participate in the implementation process. Moreover, manufacturers worldwide are being pushed to embrace green manufacturing practices by raising the environmental knowledge of employees. Thus, this study investigated the direct and indirect impact of green manufacturing practices (GMP) on employee green behaviour (EGB) along with employee green knowledge (EGK) as the mediator of this study. Four hypotheses were formed to support the arguments based on an exhaustive literature review. The sample size was 350 employees working in the furniture, paper and paper products in Sri Lanka. Structural equation modelling (SEM) is used to test the hypotheses. The results revealed a positive impact of GMP on EGB and EGK. Further, EGK influenced EGB as well. Though EGK acts as a mediator between GMP and EGB, it is not particularly powerful.
