Purpose

This study aims to investigate the critical success factors of digital transformation in the construction industry and identify whether the respondents' profiles influence their perceptions of critical success factors for digital transformation.

Design/methodology/approach

To achieve the objectives, a literature review was first conducted based on technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. Then a questionnaire survey was carried out. A total of 86 people were surveyed in this study, mainly from the construction industry. At the level of data processing, SPSS was used for analysis. Among the main tests used were the Shapiro–Wilk test, reliability analysis, mean rank analysis, Kruskal–Wallis test and Mann–Whitney U test.

Findings

The study identified 15 critical success factors of digital transformation and found the three most important factors of digital transformation. Furthermore, respondents with different years of experience, enterprises with different sizes and different years made no difference in the perception of factors. Respondents' different occupations and types of enterprises created a bias in the perception of factors for digital transformation.

Research limitations/implications

Firstly, the small sample size of the questionnaire limits the reference value of data analysis for certain groups. In addition, this study focuses broadly on construction enterprises without specifically examining different types of enterprises, thus lacking depth in its findings.

Practical implications

This study establishes a connection between TOE theory and the construction industry through an extensive literature review, identifying relevant factors and providing a reference for future research.

Originality/value

The study's results would enrich the research on digital transformation in the construction industry and provide a reference for the digital transformation of construction enterprises.

探索建筑行业数字化转型的关键成功因素——基于TOE框架

目的

本研究旨在调查建筑行业数字化转型的关键成功因素，并确定受访者的个人资料是否影响他们对数字化转型关键成功因素的看法。

设计/方法论/途径

为了实现这些目标，首先基于技术-组织-环境（TOE）框架进行了文献综述。随后进行了问卷调查。本次研究共调查了86人，主要来自建筑行业。在数据处理层面，采用SPSS进行分析。使用的主要检验包括 Shapiro-Wilk 检验、可靠性分析、平均等级分析、Kruskal-Wallis 检验和 Mann-Whitney U检验。

发现

该研究确定了数字化转型的15个关键成功因素，并找出了数字化转型最重要的三个因素。此外，不同经验年限、不同规模、不同年限的受访者对因素的认知没有差异。受访者职业、企业类型的不同，对数字化转型影响因素的认知存在偏差。

研究局限性/影响

首先，问卷样本量较小，限制了数据分析对某些群体的参考价值。此外，本研究对建筑企业的研究范围较广，没有针对不同类型的企业进行具体考察，研究的深度不够。

实际影响

本研究通过广泛的文献回顾，建立了TOE理论与建筑行业的联系，找出相关因素，为未来的研究提供参考。

原创性/价值

研究结果将丰富建筑行业数字化转型研究，为建筑企业数字化转型提供参考。
