摘要

目的近来,学术界和工业界人士都对循环商业模式的各个领域进行了研究,以促进绿色经济的发展。然而,尽管开展了大量研究,但随之而来的论述中,有关 CBM 对建筑业绿色经济转型所作贡献的信息却很少。因此,本研究旨在探讨在加纳建筑业向绿色经济转型过程中建立信任措施的贡献。然后采用定量研究策略,从 104 名参与研究的人员中收集了关于建立信任措施和绿色经济的专业人士的原始问卷数据。研究结果发现,煤层气管理对向绿色经济转型的贡献包括:价值贡献(即降低碳足迹、减少行业废物排放、为客户创造价值、创新建筑材料和方法、降低维护成本、创建节能基础设施、提高企业价值主张、提高行业可持续性和减少对有限资源的压力);绿色贡献(即减少碳足迹、减少行业废物排放、为客户创造价值、创新建筑材料和方法、降低维护成本、创建节能基础设施、提高企业价值主张、提高行业可持续性和减少对有限资源的压力);以及对向绿色经济转型的贡献(即降低碳足迹、减少行业废物排放、为客户创造价值、创新建筑材料和方法、降低维护成本、创建节能基础设施、提高企业价值主张、提高行业可持续性和减少对有限资源的压力)。这些贡献包括:绿色贡 献(即回收和再利用建筑垃圾、推广绿色建筑技术、增加经济增长潜力、提高资源效 率和创造绿色建筑市场)和长寿贡献(即延长建筑物寿命)。很明显,建立信任措施在向绿色经济过渡方面做出了重大贡献,因此,建筑行业的决策者和其他利益相关者必须采用这些模式,以最大限度地提高其绿色证书,并获得与向绿色经济过渡相关的固有收益。研究结果为建筑行业的利益相关者和政策制定者提供了清晰的洞察力,使他们了解建立信任措施对向绿色经济转型的贡献。在实践中,这项研究提供了亟需的指导,以支持建筑从业人员根据联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs)向绿色经济转型。

Exploring the contributions of circular business models towards the transition of green economy in the Ghanaian construction industry
PurposeIn recent times, both academics and industrialists have undertaken research into various areas of circular business models (CBM) in a bid to promote a green economy. Yet despite numerous studies conducted, the ensuing discourse contains scant information regarding the contributions of CBM towards the transition of green economy in the construction industry. This present study therefore aims to explore the contributions of CBM in the transition towards a green economy in the Ghanaian construction industry.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review was first conducted to identify the contributions of CBM towards the transition towards a green economy. A quantitative research strategy was then adopted to collect primary questionnaire data from professionals with knowledge of CBM and the green economy from 104 participants for the study. The data gathered was analyzed using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis viz. Principal component analysis.FindingsThe contributions of CBM towards the transition towards a green economy were found to be: value contributions (i.e. lower carbon footprint, lower emission of waste by the industry, value creation for clients, innovation in construction materials and methods, reduced maintenance cost, creation of energy efficient infrastructures, improved value proposition for firms, improved sustainability of the industry and reduced pressure on finite resource.); green contributions (i.e. recycling and reuse of construction waste, promotion of green building technology, increased potential for economic growth, increased resource efficiency and creation of green building market) and longevity contribution (i.e. increased life span of buildings). It was evident that CBM make significant contributions in the transition towards green economy and as such, policymakers and other stakeholders within the construction industry must adopt these models to maximize their green credentials and accrue inherent benefits associated with transitioning towards a green economy.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel and comprehensive study that explores the contributions of CBM towards engendering a green economy. The study’s results provide construction industry stakeholders and policymakers with clear insight into the contributions of CBM towards the transition into a green economy. In practice, this study provides much needed guidance to support construction practitioners to transition towards a green economy in alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
