Waqar, A; Othman, I and Mansoor, M S (2026) Effect of human-centric technology adoption on sustainable construction success: A partial least square modeling. International Journal of Building Pathology and Adaptation, 44(1), pp. 36-54. ISSN 2398-4708
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.

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
