“…A comprehensive review of the body of literature was examined by Olawumi and Chan (2018a). Yusof, Zainul Abidin, Zailani, Govindan, and Iranmanesh (2016) examined the influence of project's stakeholders' behavior on the implementation of sustainability practices, which reveal a positive correlation between the firm's management practices in respect of energy efficiency and waste and the implementation of sustainability ideals during project execution. Because construction projects are people driven, it is expected that the project stakeholders are well informed on the ideals of sustainable development.…”

The research study aims to explore and assess the critical success factors (CSFs) that can amplify the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and sustainability practices in construction projects. Delphi survey technique was employed to solicit the perceptions of experts on the 30 identified CSFs by means of a two‐round Delphi survey. The expert panel responses were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The key drivers identified in the study are related to people‐centric, and data and technology‐centric interventions in the built environment. Crucial deductions were formed on the basis of a comparative analysis of the expert groups. The study's findings have provided valuable lessons for local authorities, policymakers, and project stakeholders to strengthen the drive for achieving full adoption of green BIM initiatives. The study has also provided effective recommendations for increasing the uptake of BIM and sustainability practices in the construction industry, and has contributed to the existing body of knowledge about smart urbanization and hands‐on practice in the built environment.

“…In response, policymakers in China are paying much attention to pollution-related issues by enacting polices aimed at protecting the environment and achieving green and low carbon development. However, environmental behaviors differ by company (Yusof, Abidin, Zailani, Govindan, & Iranmanesh, 2016) and are influenced by government rules (Zhao, Zhao, Zeng, & Zhang, 2015), local residents (Davari & Strutton, 2014), and market competition (Verma & Duggal, 2015). Ownership, size, and financial ability also affect companies' environmental behavior (Fürst & Oberhofer, 2012;Montalvo, 2008).…”

Although a wealth of studies on companies' environmental behavior exists, little is known about the factors with the greatest influence on the evolution of such behavior. Thus, employing empirical data on China and an agent-based simulation model, this study examines the evolution from defensive to preventive environmental behavior. The results show that community support is the most important factor in this process, followed by managers' environmental awareness and companies' financial ability. However, financial ability is the most significant factor in the evolution from preventive to enthusiastic environmental behavior, followed by managers' environmental awareness and community support. Our identification of the most important factors can serve as a basis for decision makers to focus on improving the operational effectiveness of environmental policies.

“…Constructs adopted in this study are based on those discussed in technology adoption theories, and they were selected considering their relevance to sustainability as evidenced in the previous empirical and case studies on firm-level sustainability adoption (Bamgbade et al, 2017;Yusof et al, 2016). One of key elements of sustainability in building construction is to reduce resource consumption and improve the utilization FGIC2019 efficiency of resources, where a common approach is to achieve an appropriate level of reduction, recycling and reuse (Yeheyis et al, 2013).…”

The construction industry’s contributions to Greenhouse gas emissions have generated several discussions among the construction stakeholders in recent times. Granted that the construction industry has been contributing significantly to the economy as well as employment in most countries for decades, the industry’s resource consumption is, at the same time, damaging to a sustained human environment. This paper empirically explored the organizational technology orientation and perceived organizational usefulness that could improve construction Malaysian construction firm’s sustainability performance. Close-ended structured copies of questionnaire survey were employed to collect data from large Malaysian construction firms, and Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling technique was used to analyze the 172 responses. The results indicated that both technology orientation and perceived organizational usefulness are capable of influencing the construction firms’ sustainability performance. The implication is that this study’s model can predict the sustainability performance of the sampled construction firms. Some implications for research and practice, as well as future recommendations, were highlighted.
