Abstract

The construction sector faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices to promote sustainable cities and contribute to the global environmental agenda. However, a research gap exists in understanding how green innovation adoption (GIA) and green supply chain management (GSCM) influence sustainable project success (SPS). This study aims to address this gap by examining the impact of sustainable practices on SPS, focusing on innovation climate (IC) and top and middle management support (TMMC). A quantitative cross-sectional survey of 619 construction professionals in Pakistan was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that GIA and GSCM significantly influence SPS, with R² = 0.74, indicating that 74 % of the variance in SPS is explained by the model. The f² values show a large effect for GIA (f² = 0.41) and GSCM (f² = 0.37) on SPS, highlighting the strength of these relationships. Further, IC mediates these relationships, with indirect large effects for GIA (f² = 0.44) and GSCM (f² = 0.39) on SPS. TMMS moderates these relationships, with moderation effect sizes of f² = 0.23 for GSCM and f² = 0.19 for GIA, thereby enhancing SPS. This study's originality lies in emphasizing the critical role of TMMS through policy frameworks in promoting sustainable practices and an innovation climate, contributing to SPS. Based on these findings, construction firms, policy makers, and sustainability practitioners are encouraged to prioritize the integration of GIA and GSCM, align with industry standards, and foster TMMS through strategic frameworks to enhance SPS and foster environmentally resilient cities.
迈向绿色智慧城市:通过可持续实践、创新气候和管理支持,到2050年实现建筑零碳净排放
建筑行业面临着越来越大的压力,需要采用可持续实践来促进可持续城市,并为全球环境议程做出贡献。然而,在了解绿色创新采用(GIA)和绿色供应链管理(GSCM)如何影响可持续项目成功(SPS)方面存在研究空白。本研究旨在通过研究可持续实践对SPS的影响来解决这一差距,重点关注创新气候(IC)和中高层管理支持(TMMC)。使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对巴基斯坦619名建筑专业人员进行了定量横断面调查。研究结果显示,GIA和GSCM对SPS有显著影响,R²= 0.74,表明该模型解释了SPS中74%的方差。f²值显示GIA (f²= 0.41)和GSCM (f²= 0.37)对SPS的影响很大,突出了这些关系的强度。此外,IC介导了这些关系,GIA (f²= 0.44)和GSCM (f²= 0.39)对SPS的间接大影响。TMMS调节了这些关系,GSCM的调节效应值为f²= 0.23,GIA的调节效应值为f²= 0.19,从而增强了SPS。本研究的独创性在于通过政策框架强调TMMS在促进可持续实践和创新气候方面的关键作用,从而有助于SPS。基于这些发现,鼓励建筑公司、政策制定者和可持续发展从业者优先考虑GIA和GSCM的整合,与行业标准保持一致,并通过战略框架促进TMMS,以加强SPS和培育环境弹性城市。
