Civil Engineering Standard Measurement Method Adoption Using a Structural Equation Modelling Approach

The adoption of a standardized technique measuring in civil construction projects is influenced both by the drivers and strategies used, particularly emerging nations such as Malaysia. So, authors this study used structural equation modeling PLS-SEM to inquire into connection between driver strategy elements adoption. Quantity surveyors at quantity surveying consultancy companies using standard measurement were polled questionnaire. Using provided SmartPLS 3 software, hierarchical model was created determine components their impacts on method. results indicated that all classes considerably influence assessment, but barrier factors had most impact. significantly impacted elements. coefficient determination (R-squared value) 0.400 indicates dependent variable(s) can be explained predictor model. Moreover, Q2 different from zero, suggesting endogenous latent may predicted conceptual Because its high explanatory power, has given goodness-of-fit (GoF) index 0.214. This means adequately represents link variables affect effects these factors. first stage determining what motivates people utilize up-to-date approach engineering develop research explain
