Abstract

Opportunism behavior is an important factor that affects the outcome of a construction engineering project. But this factor is often ignored in the field. This paper studied the effect of opportunism behavior on construction engineering projects based on evolutionary theory. Firstly, this paper explained the mechanism and consequences of opportunism behavior in the perspective of evolutionary game theory. Secondly, this paper building a model to describe the agent behavior in single population. The result shows that opportunism behavior may spread in the agents and rule out the hornist agents. This paper suggests that the opportunism behavior of agents should be properly treat so as to guarantee the outcome of the engineering projects.
