In reaction to the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment, human decision-making behaviors determine engineering project performance. Therefore, understanding the engineering process of perception, cognition, and decision caters to minimizing the risks led by behaviors. Although traditional psychological / self-reported driven approaches (e.g., survey, structured interview, etc.) are cost-effective, these techniques have been critiqued for the results are distorted by social desirability and subjectivity, reducing the reproducibility of research and robustness of scientific findings. The development of physiological and neuropsychological techniques (eg., EEG, fNIRs, eye-tracking, etc.) deciphers the signals of the central nerve system, furnishing opportunities to triangulate current research findings that correlate with human decision-making behavior to promote further improvements of the planning, organizing, executing, and controlling behaviors for engineering project success.
To acquire the focus of this research streamline, this research topic focuses on human decision-making behaviors and management in engineering from a neuropsychological perspective. Contributions on other important engineering-related domains, such as contract administration, project supervision, etc., will also be considered. Original Research, Review, Policy and Practice Reviews, Methods, Hypothesis and Theory, Opinion, Perspective, and Conceptual Analysis are all welcome. Examples of the topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Neuromanagement and automation in construction
-Neuromechanism of human decision-making behaviors in engineering and management
-Detection and prediction of physiological and psychological characteristics of occupational and decision-making behaviors in engineering
- Cognitive neural mechanism of decision-making behaviors in the construction industry
- Neuromethods used in site management for construction
- Responding to COVID-19 pandemic in construction management
- Use of neural data to assess operating state in the construction industry
- Neuromanagement and cognitive mechanism of human decision-making behaviors in disasters
- Neuromechaisms in the project design and visualization
