Using collaborative governance theory and stochastic actor‐oriented models (SAOMs), this study examines the co‐evolution of networks and participant characteristics in 1505 infrastructure PPP projects involving 3225 participants across 35 large and medium‐sized Chinese cities. The results show that collaborative networks are highly structured and exhibit small‐world characteristics. Furthermore, in the evolving landscape of China's PPPs, the collaboration network has shifted into three governance patterns: government‐SOEs (State‐owned enterprises) driven, SOEs‐consulting driven, and SOEs dominant. In addition, results reveal that network evolution is promoted by transitive triads, the similarity of organizational size, and geographic proximity, while it is hindered by outdegree, similarities of organizational age and type. The findings provide insights for partner selection and the involvement of governments in public service delivery and the development of governance strategies.

Project Leadership and Society

Although authoritarian leadership (AL) behaviour is critical to organisational performance, its impact in different cultural contexts has received scant academic attention especially for managing bespoke projects which require temporary organisations to be formed. Drawing from self-determination and expectancy theories, this present research develops an integrated model to interpret the underlying impacts that the two dichotomous groups of ALs (i.e. discipline- and dominance-focused) have on project team members’ task and innovative performance in China. The model developed was tested using the data collected from 316 Chinese project team members. Empirical evidence indicates that psychological empowerment acts as a ‘mediator’ via which the discipline- and dominance-focused ALs can positively and negatively affect the team members’ task and innovative performance respectively. Additionally, the aforementioned indirect relationships are moderated by outcome expectancy, implying a positive interdependency between them. This research enriches an understanding of ALs and project team in terms of task completion and innovation and is useful for developing interventions to improve project team performance.

The study investigates how contractual and relational governance influence partner behaviors and promote sustainability performance of infrastructure public‐private partnerships (PPPs). Survey data from 217 Chinese PPP projects were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. This study found that both contractual and relational governance have positive effects on PPP sustainability, with contractual governance having a stronger impact. Contractual governance complements relational governance in promoting cooperative behavior, but relational governance does not amplify the effect of contractual governance on opportunistic behavior. The findings highlight the role of contracts in curbing opportunism and promoting collaboration via multiple functions of control, coordination, and adaption, while also revealing the limitations of relational approaches in the context of government‐business relationships and performance ambiguity. This study contributes to the PPP governance literature by uncovering the individual and interactive effects of contractual and relational governance on the economic, social, and environmental aspects of PPP sustainability.

... Li [83] et al. suggest that core firm contractual governance facilitates knowledge sharing among firms in innovation ecosystems. Scholars such as Li [84] find that contractual governance also plays a complementary role in facilitating knowledge acquisition and furthermore facilitates the role of relational governance mechanisms in influencing tacit knowledge. A perfect contract provides a guarantee for knowledge spillover through a legalized agreement, so as to reduce the opportunism among subjects and avoid the risks caused by the transfer of knowledge and technology from one party to another. ...

... The existing literature on the measurement of URIG is mostly expressed by the ratio of disposable income per capita of urban residents to disposable income per capita of rural residents, the ratio of per capita consumption expenditure of urban and rural residents, the Taylor's index and the Gini coefficient (Li et al., 2023;Wang & Bai, 2023). However, these three indicators have certain limitations, the ratio of disposable income per capita of urban and rural residents and the ratio of consumption expenditure per capita of urban and rural residents cannot reflect the gap within the province, and the Taylor's index and Gini coefficient only reflect the relative gap, not the absolute gap. ...
