Olanipekun, Ayokunle Olubunmi (2017) Motivating project owners to increase their commitment towards improving the delivery performance of green building projects. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
This study provides an empirical support of how project owners' motivation can lead to increase in their commitment towards improving the delivery performance of green building projects, with focus on the Australian construction industry. The self-determination theory of motivation is used to explain project owners' motivation, and the relationship with owner commitment was examined using the structural equation modelling technique. In doing so, strategies for improving the delivering performance of green building projects are proposed, with an important implication for the design and implementation of government policies and programs for green building and related practices in the construction industry.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
