When does good envy turn into bad envy? The relationship between benign and malicious envy
No full textPrevious research has distinguished between forms of envious reactions - malicious envy that is characterized by hostile feelings leading to negative consequences for firms and benign envy that is free of hostility and leading to positive consequences. In this paper, we focus on identifying conditions when benign envy can turn into malicious envy. Results show that perceived attractiveness of the purchase to others (vs. to the self) and tendency to engage in ability-oriented comparisons positively moderates the relationship between benign and malicious envy. In contrast, tendency to engage in opinion-orientated comparisons negatively moderates the relationship between benign and malicious envy.Product Innovation ManagementIndustrial Design Engineerin
SYNERGY BETWEEN LEAN AND VALUE ENGINEERING CONCEPTS: SRI LANKAN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE
No full textThe allied competitiveness and unpredictable nature of the construction industry forced to rethink on
the performance enhancement tools in order to address the urgent matter of resource scarcity as a
global dilemma. Hence, most of the construction firms highly concern about the customer’s
satisfaction by means of giving value for the client’s money. The researchers established that Value
Engineering (VE) and Lean concepts supersede all the other value achieving strategies since; both
address the concept of Value in a greater extent. VE addresses the areas, which are not aligned with
the methodological purview of Lean. In turn, Lean could enhance the effectiveness of VE efforts.
Although there were some arguments on the above, there is lack of a research of investigating the
synergy between Lean and VE concepts with related to the construction sector. Hence, this study
investigates the synergy between Lean and VE concepts in order to explore the best value for client.
Accordingly, a qualitative research approach was followed to attain the research aim. A
comprehensive literature review followed by expert opinion surveys were used to investigate the
synergy between the concepts. The information gathered were subsequently subjected to a content
analysis. This study revealed that, there is a synergy among customer value principle, pre study,
information and presentation phases, value stream principle with functional analysis and presentation
phases, flow principle with creativity, evaluation, development and presentation phases, pull principle
with functional analysis, presentation and post study phases, perfection principle with presentation
and post study phases. The findings would be very much effective for advanced value achieving
strategy development purpose which achieve the best value for the client in the extremity

SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES OF SRI LANKAN CONTRACTORS
No full textConstruction industry is conversely depleting of natural resources. It impacts on the environment,
economy and society, not only during a project’s life cycle but also for coming generations. Adhering
sustainable principles in construction industry brings the sustainable construction which ensures
better quality of life for everyone. The contractor as a key player in the construction industry has to
play an imperative role to promote sustainable construction by minimising their negative impact on
the environment and society while maximising their economic contribution. Thus, this research
intended to examine current sustainable construction practices and issues of contracting organisations
to suggest a framework which can be used for the ultimate delivery of sustainable construction in Sri
Lanka. Case study research approach was used to collect data among contracting organisations and
eight semi-structured interviews were conducted. Four industry expert interviews were conducted to
verify the gathered opinions and suggestions on enhancements of sustainable construction practices of
contracting organisations. Cross-case analysis was used to analyse multiple cases using code based
content analysis technique. Findings revealed that the organisations were at primary stage in
sustainable construction practices, namely legal framework, standards, guidelines or policies, design,
procurement, technologies, processes and innovations, organisational structure and people, education
and training, measurements and reporting
