초록

건설프로젝트의 성공적인 수행을 위해 의사소통, 협력, 정보공유 등을 포함한 구성원들 간의 협업은 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 프로젝트 조직 내의 협업과정이 성과에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석적인 시도는 부족하였다. 본 연구는 게임이론 기반의 에이전트기반 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 프로젝트 조직 내 협업과정을 보다 명시적으로 이해하는 방법을 제시하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과로 구성원수준에서의 관계형성과 조직수준에서의 네트워크 발전양상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 프로젝트조직 내의 협업과정 분석방법 개발을 위한 기초연구이며, 향후 연구를 통해 조직 내 업무수행 프로세스, 생산작업 프로세스, 관리 프로세스 등의 부분과 결합하여 프로젝트 성과를 예측하는 방법으로 발전될 수 있을 것이다.

Collaborative processes among team members including communication, coordination, and information-handling processes either during pre-construction or project execution are required in order to accomplish the objectives of construction projects. However, current construction management practice does not explicitly take the effect of organizational aspects on project performance into account. This paper introduces a method to understand collaborative processes in an explicit and systematic fashion. An agent-based simulation of collaborative working processes within construction project teams was designed from game theory perspective and implemented. The simulation produced both individual behavior and network dynamics. Individuals represented as agents made efforts to improve performance by communication and coordinating with other members, and overall team network was emerged as a result of interactions among members. Interestingly, it was found that the tendency of forming cohesive subgroups increased when sustaining relations with between-group partners incurs higher cost. The primary contribution of this paper is that it presented an explicit approach to examining collaborative working processes in construction project teams and it extended existing computational organization and network studies by integrating individual behavior models and network models.
