Mixed-methods study demonstrates digital capability evolution in project teams, suggesting actionable strategies for managers.
This study investigates how the digital capabilities of engineering project teams form and evolve in the project context, alongside the key antecedent conditions driving this process. Grounded in dynamic capabilities and sociotechnical systems theories, a mixed-methods approach (process tracing and fsQCA) is employed. The research reveals a sensing–seizing–reconfiguring coevolutionary mechanism and identifies three equifinal configurational paths to high capability: social-dominated, technology-dominated, and sociotechnical-synergistic. By extending these theories into temporary organizations, the findings offer managers granular, context-specific strategies for agile resource orchestration and sociotechnical alignment.
