“…Walker et al (2012) further argued that the tools do not describe the adoption behaviour of organisations in the adoption of sustainable procurement. It has been argued that the lack of organisational models and the complexity of existing models are hindering the adoption of sustainable procurement (Xia et al , 2015).…”

“…The construction industry has immense impact on the economic and social development of many countries and causes considerable damage to the environment (Xia et al , 2015). The industry accounts for one-tenth of the global economy and consumes 30–40 per cent of global energy requirements (Xia et al , 2015). Sustainable procurement provides the vehicle for the industry to address economic advancement and social equity in the construction industry while minimising impact on the environment and contribute to the larger effort of achieving sustainable development (Meehan and Bryde, 2015).…”

Purpose The adoption of sustainable procurement in construction clients’ organisation remains a difficult concept. Current research of sustainable procurement adoption studies fails to focus on a multi-stage adoption process. The purpose of this paper is to develop an organisational adoption model in a multi-stage process for the adoption of sustainable procurement in construction. Design/methodology/approach The paper developed an organisational adoption model. The model was tested against data obtained from survey administered to 193 respondents of central and local government institutions with a response rate of 63.7 per cent. Structural equation modelling using the partial least squares was employed to determine and confirm the factor structure of the model, and to measure the relationships between the model constructs. Findings An organisational adoption model is developed, tested and is robust to aid the adoption decision process of sustainable procurement within construction organisations. Research limitations/implications The study is limited in scope affecting generalisation of the results. Future study should expand the scope to include consultants, contractors and suppliers. Practical implications The adoption model will assist policy makers and top managers to understand the adoption decision process and prioritise on the technological, organisational and environmental factors that significantly affect sustainable adoption decision process within construction organisations. Originality/value This study appears to be among the first to empirically develop an organisational adoption model to aid the adoption of sustainable procurement in construction.

“…Artikel kedua yang menggunakan istilah bibliometrik adalah Utama et al (2016) Setelah kedua artikel tersebut di atas, studi-studi yang serupa bermunculan untuk berbagai fokus riset yang berbeda. Contoh meliputi komputasi dalam rekayasa sipil (Abudayyeh et al, 2006); PPP (Ke et al, 2009), kemitraan dalam konstruksi (Hong et al, 2012); kinerja perusahaan konstruksi (Deng dan Smyth, 2013); building information modeling (Abdirad and Pishdad-Bozorgi, 2014); joint venture di konstruksi (Hong dan Chan, 2014); produktivitas konstruksi (Yi dan Chan, 2014); kolusi di konstruksi (Le dan Shan 2014); konstruksi berkelanjutan (Xia et al, 2015); metode pengadaan di konstruksi (Naoum dan Egbu, 2015); pengambilan keputusan (Bakht dan El-Diraby, 2015); perbandingan PPP di China dan negara lainnya (Zhang et al, 2016); dan bangunan hijau (Darko dan Chan, 2016). Secara prinsip, studi-studi tersebut ditujukan untuk kajian kritis dan identifikasi tren riset.…”

Abstrak Tulisan ini memaparkan tinjauan kritis perkembangan riset manajemen risiko konstruksi berdasarkan analisis bibliometrik atas 243 artikel yang dipublikasikan dalam enam jurnal-international konstruksi terkemuka selama kurun waktu [2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015] . PendahuluanStudi dan pemahaman tentang manajemen risiko pada proyek konstruksi terus berkembang-meski masih dirasa kurang ekstensif dibandingkan apa yang terjadi dalam ranah ekonomi (Lee et al., 2015). Namun, pengalaman empiris terus memerlihatkan proyek konstruksi masih berkutat dengan persoalan-persoalan keterlambatan penyelesaian, kenaikan biaya realisasi, ketidaksesuaian ruang lingkup, dan/ atau ketakterpenuhan spesifikasi pekerjaan yang telah direncanakan.Flanagan dan Norman (1993) berargumen proyek konstruksi memiliki risiko dan ketidakpastian lebih tinggi dari apa yang terjadi pada kegiatan lainnya. Meski argumentasi ini tidak sepenuhnya disepakati namun diyakini memang ada persoalan dengan manajemen risiko proyek konstruksi. Persoalan yang terjadi selama ini bukan karena alasan karakteristik yang unik (e.g. lingkungan dinamis) melainkan bersumber pada kesulitan dalam mengidentifikasi, menganalisis,dan mengelola risiko yang dihadapi pada setiap proyek konstruksi (Loosemore et al., 2006).Banyaknya persoalan dan meningkatnya kompleksitas manajemen risiko konstruksi dijadikan objek riset yang menantang bagi akademisi dan peneliti konstruksi. Hal ini yang mendorong body of knowledge terus tumbuh dan berkembang. Namun, di sisi lain belum ada upaya akademis yang secara sistematis didedikasikan melakukan kajian kritis atas perkembangan riset-riset dalam ranah ini secara mendalam, setidaknya di Indonesia. Padahal, kajian ini signifikan untuk setidaknya tiga alasan: memetakan evolusi keilmuan manajemen risiko konstruksi dari tahun ke tahun; memberikan lansekap riset berikutnya sehingga replikasi dan repetisi riset yang tidak perlu dapat dihindari; dan penting untuk eksplorasi status riset terkini (state of the art) dan tren riset ke depannya

“…Sustainable construction, therefore, is a way of ensuring that all construction activities are being carried out in a sustainable way, from the planning to the completion phases, while also considering the economic and social factors and the environmental impacts (Ismail et al, 2017), since the construction industry has a direct influence on society, the environment and the economy (Agyekum-Mensah et al, 2012;Xia et al, 2015Xia et al, , 2016Aghimien et al, 2019) and has the greatest impact on sustainability compared to any other industrial sector. Even more than that, Oke et al (2017) have stated that the construction industry plays an important role in preserving the indigenous environment through resource usage, asset utilization and water use and that the industry significantly contributes to improving the quality of human life (Shurrab et al, 2019).…”

PurposeIn responding to global issues of creating sustainable development, the Indonesian government has enacted regulations (i.e. Ministry of Public Works and Housing No. 05/PRT/M/2015) on the implementation of sustainable construction in infrastructure project execution. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the means of implementing sustainable principles in the execution of infrastructure projects in Indonesia by the main construction service providers and their partners. A lesson-learned is presented as a source of knowledge to underpin the extensive implementation of sustainable principles in the construction of infrastructure projects leading to an integrated approach in creating a sustainable infrastructure that fulfills the requirements of sustainable development.Design/methodology/approachThe method used is questionnaire surveys with Indonesian construction practitioners who are working on building construction, road and bridge construction, water facilities construction and house and settlement construction.FindingsFrom the results, the practices of sustainability principles by construction service providers in infrastructure project execution are imperative from the project procurement phase. The evaluation continues to the phase of construction project execution, which reveals the inconsiderable performance of sustainability indicators due to current constraints on the implementation of sustainability principles.Originality/valueThis research looks into the existing gaps between sustainable construction principles and their practical implementation in Indonesian infrastructure projects. This will foster a holistic approach in the practice of undertaking sustainable procurement processes, thus reinforcing project management techniques in the phase of sustainable construction project execution. This also strengthens the interrelated roles and responsibilities of project stakeholders by taking into account principles of safety, balance and the harmony of infrastructure and the environment.
