Abstract Based on the local social context and relational contract perspective, the study treats the public construction projects as sample and applies the exploratory grounded theory with three steps of coding to qualitatively analyze the constituent elements of relational governance mechanism in public projects under Chinese social and cultural background. Along with the findings of qualitative analysis, the study conducts a further comparative review of the literature and argues that relational governance mechanism is composed of trust, commitment, communication, collaboration and industry practices. In-depth interpretation and analysis of the structure and content of each element shows that trust in the Chinese context emphasizes on “relationship-base”, and industry practices also have strong Chinese characteristics.
