While these developments bring opportunities for increased efficiency and productivity, they also present challenges in integrating human-centric approaches within the digital transformation initiatives. While both lean construction principles and human-centric approaches aim to improve organizational performance, their integration and mutual relationships remain understudied. This paper examines the intersection of human-centric approaches with lean construction principles in construction organizations, focusing on the concept of Human-Centered Construction Organizations (HCCOs) advancing sustainability objectives aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the objectives of relevant CIB commissions. This paper implements a multi-step methodology to identify and analyze the relationship between lean construction principles and human-centric approaches in construction organizations. Through systematic literature review and advanced network analysis techniques; the study examines how lean construction principles support and enhance human-centric approaches. The findings reveal significant interconnections between specific lean construction principles and human-centric elements, with productivity improvement, safety enhancement, and environmental consideration emerging as central nodes in the network. The analysis identified 35 lean construction principles and 31 human-centric approaches, demonstrating dense interconnections with a graph density of 27. Key human-centric approaches, including individual cognitive abilities, problem-solving capabilities, and effective communication channels, were found to be frequently integrated within lean construction principles. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a quantitative understanding of how lean construction principles can support human-centric transformation in construction organizations, offering practical insights for industry practitioners and researchers.All works are published under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
