Purpose

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the cost of concrete component prefabrication using the moderating role of organizational readiness, compatibility and competitive pressure.

Design/methodology/approach

The information collected in this study was obtained from 188 questionnaires filled out online by civil engineers active in the Iranian construction industry. Data analysis was performed by partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings

The results reveal that perceived risk has the greatest impact on cost of using precast concrete components (PCC). Furthermore, the organizational readiness, competitive pressure and compatibility variables have moderating role in the relationship between perceived risk and perceived usefulness. The results can help policymakers and managers to apply the appropriate perspective and strategy to promote this method by illustrating the factors affecting the cost of using PCC in the building construction.

Originality/value

Using the variables of perceived risk, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use to predict factors affecting the cost of using PCC is considered as an innovation in this research. In addition to identifying the most important factors affecting the cost of PCC prefabrication in the construction industry, this research tries to identify the impact of environmental factors on the model by examining the moderating role of organizational readiness, competitive pressure and compatibility.

组织准备情况、竞争压力和兼容性对预制混凝土构件使用成本的调节影响

目的

本研究的目的是利用组织准备度、兼容性和竞争压力的调节作用来调查影响混凝土构件预制成本的因素。

设计/方法论/途径

本研究收集的信息来自活跃于伊朗建筑行业的土木工程师在线填写的 188 份调查问卷。通过偏最小二乘结构方程建模进行数据分析。

发现

结果表明，感知风险对预制混凝土构件 (PCC) 的使用成本影响最大。此外，组织准备度、竞争压力和兼容性变量在感知风险和感知有用性之间的关系中具有调节作用。研究结果可以通过说明影响建筑施工中使用 PCC 成本的因素，帮助政策制定者和管理者应用适当的观点和策略来推广该方法。

原创性/价值

使用感知风险、感知有用性和感知易用性的变量来预测影响 PCC 使用成本的因素被认为是本研究的创新。除了确定影响建筑行业 PCC 预制成本的最重要因素外，本研究还试图通过检验组织准备度、竞争压力和兼容性的调节作用来确定环境因素对模型的影响。
