Predicting the factors influencing construction enterprises’ adoption of green development behaviors using artificial neural network

Abstract

The construction industry occupies a high proportion of the global economy. However, with the energy consumption of construction enterprises, it still brings a series of serious environmental problems. Construction enterprises should take active green development behavior to respond. Based on enterprises’ green development behavior, this paper explores the influencing factors of green development behavior adopted by construction enterprises in China. Through literature analysis, this paper identifies that construction enterprises’ adoption of green development behaviors is influenced by technological, organizational and environmental factors. Then this paper constructs an index system of the influencing factors of green development behaviors adopted by enterprises. According to the data of construction enterprises from 2000 to 2020 of National Bureau of Statistics, an artificial neural network is used to construct the prediction model of influencing factors of green development behavior adopted by construction enterprises. The conclusions are as follows. (1) Construction enterprises’ adoption of green development behavior shows an upward trend over time. (2) Market share of construction enterprises is the most important factor to promote construction enterprises’ adoption of green development behavior. (3) The prediction model of influencing factors constructed in this paper is verified to be effective by the technology-organization-environment framework. This paper provides a reference for construction enterprises and the government to promote enterprises to adopt green development behavior, which is beneficial for construction enterprises to achieve green development faster.

Evolutionary Mechanism of Government Green Development Behavior in Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Projects: A Perspective of Ecological Compensation

“…Green development behavior has received much attention from both enterprise and government researchers, especially government green development behavior [43,44]. Governmental green development behavior is an organizational behavior that uses the government as a vehicle to facilitate the achievement of governmental green development and economic growth goals [8].…”

Establishment and Cluster Analysis of Performance Evaluation Index System for New Retail Enterprises Driven by Blockchain Technology

“…In terms of the nature of the indicators, they can be divided into financial indicators (Xia & Zhang, 2010;Feng & Yi, 2012), non-financial indicators (Zhao, 2015;Sun et al, 2015), and a combination of both (Han et al, 2022;Zhou et al, 2018), based on whether they can be calculated using financial data or not. From the perspective of evaluation index construction, generally speaking, the establishment of the evaluation index system of retail enterprise competition or performance is mostly based on five aspects, such as the retail sustainable perspective (Gleim et al, 2013;Li et al, 2022), the enterprise capability perspective (Niu et al, 2018), the perspective of combining enterprise resources and capabilities (Yu et al, 2019;Okur & Ercan, 2022), the business process perspective (Shi et al, 2017), and the customer demand perspective (Liu et al, 2018;Helm et al, 2018). However, taking customer demand as the origin is more in line with the characteristics and central concept of the new retail model, so this paper focuses on meeting consumer demand and synthesizes the internal and external factors of the enterprise for the construction of indicators.…”

Evaluation of Key Factors for Promoting Green Construction Practices Based on a Hybrid Decision-Making Framework: A Case Study on the Renovation of Old Residential Communities in China

“…Meanwhile, Shi et al [29] contended that salient obstacles meriting attention encompass supplementary expenditures, heightened time commitments, and the limited accessibility of green suppliers and pertinent information. From an enterprise perspective, Li et al [30] and Li et al [31] analyzed the factors influencing the green technology innovation behavior (GTIB) and have constructed a theoretical model and an index system for enterprises' green development behaviors. Furthermore, Zhang et al [32] proved that government policies, specifically the national innovative city pilot policy (NICP), exerted a positive influence on green development.…”
