Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Many researchers have focused on the adoption and associated challenges of knowledge management tools in the commercial construction sector. However, few have investigated the usage and effectiveness of such tools and their adoption in the non-profit sector. Accordingly, ongoing action research principles are used to provide insights into preferred types, challenges of adoption, and qualitative and quantitative impacts of utilising knowledge management tools in a large and a small Canadian housing charity. Preliminary results indicate preference towards a combination of information technology and non-information technology tools for both charities. Barriers included inadequate technical capability, time and financial constraints; and improved efficacy of organisational knowledge management practices. The paper contributes to the construction engineering management sphere in academia and industry by exploring the knowledge management theme through the application of action research methods. Future work focuses on developing a roadmap for knowledge management in construction non-profit volunteer organisations.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
