Assessing the readiness for sustainable building material adoption: a study from construction organizations of different sizes

Engineering Construction & Architectural Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Aug. 15, 2024

Purpose Sustainable building materials (SBMs) have recently been promoted to foster sustainable construction. While previous studies successfully presented the broad picture of SBM adoption, question ‘What is current state adoption in construction firms?’ was unanswered. Moreover, there a lack that investigate impact firm size on SBMs. Therefore, this study aims examine level readiness for firms different sizes. Design/methodology/approach Drawing theoretical lenses and review studies, identified 20 factors affecting adoption. These were then grouped into market, organization, employee readiness. Using questionnaire survey, 229 valid responses collected. The multiple pairwise comparison test showed significant differences Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation (FSE) analysis used assess Findings FSE large-sized companies demonstrated highest followed by medium-sized small-sized firms, respectively. findings imply larger may more resources organizational capacity adopt Conversely, smaller require additional support or incentives enhance their It also highlights need targeted interventions policies promote across firms. while market emerged as least critical category, highlight pivotal role all Originality/value underscore importance prioritizing initiatives facilitate successful Policymakers industry stakeholders focus developing training programs awareness campaigns tailored employees, ensuring they are equipped with necessary knowledge skills. strategies should be explored through regulatory measures encourage Additionally, fostering collaboration networking among can further accelerate uptake SBMs industry.

Toward sustainable development: an assessment of the performance of green construction sites using fuzzy synthetic evaluation

Engineering Construction & Architectural Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 18, 2025

Purpose Unlike the design or planning phases, construction phase necessitates coordination of multiple project stakeholders, real-time problem-solving and effectively managing physical resources under fluctuating site conditions. However, recent green rating systems are not yet designed to accommodate unique nature this stage. Thus, study aims develop an empirical measurement model evaluate performance sites (GCS), focusing on Vietnamese industry. Design/methodology/approach Initially, a list assessment criteria was identified by reviewing previous studies semi-structured interviews. After that, questionnaire survey used collect practitioners’ views regarding GCS performance. The 155 valid responses were analyzed employing fuzzy synthetic evaluation (FSE) method. Findings findings showed that in Vietnam is at moderate level, with index 5.48. Indeed, human-related factor most significant group for Vietnam. Construction site, energy, innovation material-related factors among average factors. Moreover, water waste-related lowest Originality/value This highlights importance factors, such as worker safety environmental training, achieving effective It recommended governments should enforce stricter guidelines using low-embodied carbon materials, sustainable sourcing waste management improve Neighboring countries can also use valuable insights from enhance their

Revealing the mechanisms of adopting innovative on-site industrialized construction technology: an integrated SEM-ISM method

Industrial Management & Data Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 20, 2025

Purpose On-site industrialized construction (OIC) represents a significant innovation direction for the industrial transformation of industry. However, compared to prefabricated (PC) technology, OIC technology has not received sufficient attention. In particular, lack mechanisms adoption significantly hindered and diffusion this technology. This paper aims address gap by identifying drivers barriers exploring logical relationships among these influencing factors. Design/methodology/approach Therefore, study analyze factors adoption, focusing on both barriers, promote its companies. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is employed validate significance factors, while interpretive (ISM) utilized explore interrelationships supported PLS-SEM. Findings The results PLS-SEM show that relative advantage, regulatory support, top management organizational readiness market demand positively influence intention, perceived risk, complexity cost have negative impact. Additionally, root driver identified ISM analysis labor shortage, barrier comprehension presents challenges. It noteworthy derived from demand, but low path coefficient in indicates limited direct effects. suggests influences intention driving other mediating which still require Originality/value elucidates supplementing knowledge base domains (IC) engineering technological innovation. it offers valuable insights companies actively engaged industrialization reform, facilitating effective promotion

Engineering Construction & Architectural Management, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: July 11, 2024

Purpose Adopting sustainable building materials (SBMs) is one way to reduce the negative environmental impacts of built environment. However, adoption SBMs not as high expected. This study aims investigate which factors affect SBMs. Design/methodology/approach A literature review and discussions with professional practitioners formed an initial list variables affecting readiness adopt questionnaire survey was designed, data from industrial were collected using snowball sampling method. The 218 respondents analyzed PLS-SEM technique. Findings findings show that SBM critically influenced by at different levels (market, organization, employee). Specifically, market enhances organization preparedness (beta = 0.628), positively affects employee 0.510). Market, impact 0.386, 0.364, 0.158, respectively). Moreover, relationship between fully mediated (indirect effect 0.320; p 0.000).

For addressing limitation these perspectives, this study develops divergent dimensions (environment, governance and social). Afterwards, we look into interdependencies between different socio-demographic factors specific CEO (age, tenure; gender, education level), accounting for divergence dimensions. Based on sample companies listed STOXX 600 index throughout period ranging from 2018 2022, results confirm that age, tenure level are positively affect dimension dimension.
