Effect of human-centric technology adoption on sustainable construction success: a partial least square modeling

Abstract

Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to examine the effects of integrating human-centric technology on the overall effectiveness of sustainable building practises. This study intends to address the knowledge gap regarding the influence of human-centered factors on the adoption of technology in the construction industry. Additionally, it wants to establish a strong correlation between the integration of technology and the promotion of sustainability.

Design/methodology/approach

This research utilizes Partial Least Square Equation Modeling (SEM) as a comprehensive approach to analyze the intricate interrelationships within the building sector. This study examines a range of aspects, including “Change Management,” “Evaluation and Optimization,” “Integration and Coordination,” “Long-Term Planning,” “Safety and Compliance,” and “Training and User Engagement,” in order to evaluate their impact on the adoption of technology and the achievement of sustainable building outcomes.

Findings

The study reveals a robust and affirmative correlation between the use of human-centric technology and the attainment of success in the realm of sustainable building. The text elucidates the primary factors that influence the adoption of technology and underscores the need of adopting a comprehensive strategy that encompasses change management, adherence to safety standards, and optimization of resources.

Originality/value

This study contributes novelty by placing emphasis on the human-centric dimensions of technology adoption within the context of sustainable building. The results of this research provide a valuable contribution to the ongoing development of sustainable building practises and the adoption of new technologies in this sector.
