Stakeholder management is a crucial component in the implementation of off-site construction (OSC) projects, while stakeholder mapping serves as a practical technique to facilitate an in-depth understanding of different project stakeholders. Various topics have been explored in the OSC stakeholder management field, but research on OSC stakeholder analysis based on stakeholder mapping is still lacking. This study addresses this gap by developing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) stakeholder mapping models. Data were collected from 167 stakeholders involved in OSC projects. The 2D model utilizes a power–interest matrix to classify 12 identified OSC stakeholder groups, while the 3D model further explores these groups by incorporating an additional dimension of stakeholder salience across different stages of project implementation. The results show that OSC stakeholders predominantly fall into the “key players” or “minimal effort” categories across various project stages. Key players include the client, modular manufacturer, main contractor, government, and designer, while the public and industry organizations generally require minimal effort. Additionally, stakeholders such as the supervision company, supplier, and subcontractor play key roles at specific stages, with varying levels of salience throughout the project lifecycle, reflecting shifts in their influence and involvement. The findings contribute to stakeholder management knowledge by providing an in-depth understanding of OSC stakeholders’ interrelationships during project implementation, especially through uncovered stakeholder mapping in the OSC field.

The construction industry, a major global employer, increasingly relies on migrant construction workers (MCWs) to mitigate labor shortages and enhance cost efficiency. Despite their vital role, MCWs face numerous challenges, including exploitation during recruitment, safety risks, health issues, and difficulties with social integration. Current research into MCWs is dispersed across various disciplines—such as occupational safety, health, and social issues—and lacks a cohesive review of achievements and gaps. To address this, the present study employs bibliometric and qualitative content analysis to evaluate research progress, domains, hotspots, and trends from 2004 to 2024. The dataset, sourced from the Web of Science (WoS), includes 112 publications. The analysis reveals a steady growth in MCWs research, divided into two distinct phases, with significant contributions from 307 authors across 30 countries. The study also examines robust international collaboration and the prominent role of influential research institutions. The research identified ten key areas of focus and engaged in discussion. This comprehensive overview of MCWs research provides valuable insights for future studies and policy development, aiming to enhance conditions for MCWs and inform effective intervention strategies for this vulnerable workforce.

Relational governance, as a flexible and informal mechanism, plays a critical role in addressing the challenges of construction projects in the VUCA environment. However, existing research has rarely examined relational governance mechanisms from a resilience perspective. Furthermore, current studies on organizational resilience often overlook static characteristics, leaving the interplay between static and dynamic resilience underexplored. To address this gap, this study aims to explore how relational governance influences project performance through organizational resilience, with a focus on the mediating roles of static resilience and dynamic resilience. Empirical data were collected through 270 construction professionals, with questionnaire design refined through expert interviews and a pilot study to ensure validity and reliability. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to assess relationships. The findings indicate that relational governance positively influences addressing opportunistic behaviors of construction participants and improving project performance. Mutual trust and timely commitment among project participants in relational governance significantly impact both the static characteristics and dynamic capabilities of construction projects. Additionally, organizational resilience partially mediates the relationship between relational governance and project performance. This study advances the understanding of the mechanisms linking relational governance and project performance from a resilience perspective and provides actionable insights for fostering efficient governance practices.

Prefabricated construction has garnered widespread attention worldwide. As an important part in purchasing management, prefabricated component suppliers (PCSs) undertake the bulk of the work and responsibility in the supply chain from on-site to off-site. Therefore, it is crucial and necessary to establish a decision-making framework to comprehensively evaluate the performance of PCSs. This study proposed a set of performance indicators for PCSs, including component quality, cost, delivery capability, service level, enterprise development potential, and enterprise cooperation potential. A hybrid method was established to evaluate the integrated performance of PCSs based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)–entropy weight and cloud model. It integrated the AHP and entropy weight method to calculate indicator weights, while the cloud model was employed to transform qualitative characteristics into quantitative ones. To verify the feasibility of this method, an empirical study was subsequently conducted using a typical case from China. The obtained results demonstrate that the overall performance of Supplier A lies at the “good” level, with the similarity index between the comprehensive cloud model and the standard cloud model within the good range, at 0.4045. Among the six primary indicators, quality performance scored the highest at 0.65, meeting the “excellent” standard. It can be seen that the hybrid approach of AHP–entropy weight and cloud model accurately and effectively demonstrates the integrated performance of PCSs. The main aim of this study was to establish a comprehensive system and develop a novel approach for evaluating the performance of PCSs within a hesitant fuzzy environment. The findings of this study can provide guidelines for researchers and the public to evaluate PCS performance, contributing significantly to the fields of supply chain management and construction engineering. Moreover, it provided a practical tool for professionals in the industry to enhance the supplier selection processes.
