Civil engineering standard measurement method adoption using a structural equation modelling approach

The adoption of a standardized technique of measuring in civil construction projects is influenced both by the drivers and the strategies used, particularly in emerging nations such as Malaysia. So, the authors of this study used structural equation modeling and the PLS-SEM technique to inquire into...

description The adoption of a standardized technique of measuring in civil construction projects is influenced both by the drivers and the strategies used, particularly in emerging nations such as Malaysia. So, the authors of this study used structural equation modeling and the PLS-SEM technique to inquire into the connection between the driver and strategy elements of the adoption. Quantity surveyors at quantity surveying consultancy companies using the standard measurement technique were polled using a questionnaire. Using the PLS-SEM technique provided by the SmartPLS 3 software, a hierarchical model was created to determine the components and their impacts on the adoption of the measuring method. The results indicated that all classes considerably influence the adoption of the standard technique of assessment, but the barrier factors had the most impact. The adoption of a standardized technique of measuring was significantly impacted by the driver and strategy elements. The coefficient of determination (R-squared value) of 0.400 indicates that the dependent variable(s) can be explained by the predictor variable(s) in the model. Moreover, Q2 is significantly different from zero, suggesting that endogenous latent components may be predicted by the conceptual model.
