Abstract:From the new perspective of longitudinal study,research hypotheses with regard to the relationship between Top Management Team(TMT)evolution and megaproject performance are proposed,which extends the static view of demographics and further incorporates the team interactive features.By tracing the 22 months implementation process of the infrastructure projects of Nanning East Railway Station,this study indicates that team interactive features have much more impacts on megaproject performance than demographics.Of all demographics(e.g.,age and professional background),only the heterogeneity of professional background has a highly positive correlation with the megaproject performance.Among team interactive features,the internal information exchange and the climate of TMT all have significant positive correlations with the megaproject performance,while the external information exchange and the mutual influence between middle management team and TMT have moderate positive and highly negative correlations with the megaproject performance,respectively.The research findings enrich the theory of TMT,and meanwhile provide practical inspirations for TMT building in the emergence process of China's PPP projects
