| Abstract | ||
| Multiple factors that impact project-based organizations’ workload fluctuation have already been identified by researchers. Although much effort has been devoted to finding these aspects, extant literature reviews lack systematic analysis and are confined to a few articles. This study tackles the lack of a systematic evaluation and content analysis of published studies related to workload fluctuation and offers statistics on the most prevalent variables in both the pre-award and post-award phases. The available body of knowledge is analyzed using the relative usage index (RUI) and social network analysis (SNA). RUI defines the gap in the frequency of modeling the variables. SNA defines the gap between mental models linking the variables affecting this problem and the applied dynamic models used to solve it. Results reveal some gaps, for instance, owner strictness and bid time have received very little attention in the literature. | ||
