摘要

生态创新是将生态意识融入创新发展的概念。虽然EI已广泛应用于制造业,但其在建筑行业的应用仍不确定。随着人们对建筑环境影响的日益关注,在复杂的项目设计和方法中寻找更多创新的方式来满足环境需求变得越来越重要。承包商在管理、建设和发展中推广和采用EI具有战略地位。本文探讨了1)马来西亚承包商公司中EI实践的采用水平和2)EI实践的采用与驱动EI的因素之间的关系。采用18个EI组成部分和4个驱动因素进行问卷调查。共有95家G7级承包商公司回应了调查。调查显示,承包商公司采用EI的水平仍处于中等水平。结果表明,组织EI是支持企业生态创新管理方法以提高企业环境绩效的关键组成部分。结果表明,这四个驱动因素都与EI的实施呈正相关。技术因素被确定为影响承包商企业更好地采用EI的关键因素。本研究的结果有助于制定一个战略框架,以提高承包商企业对EI的采用率,并加深对企业层面实施EI的理解,进一步扩展到项目现场层面。

Eco-innovation Adoption in Malaysian Contractor Firms: Understanding the Components and Drivers
Eco-innovation (EI) is a concept that integrates eco-consciousness within innovation development.  While EI has been widely applied in the manufacturing industry, its adoption in the construction sector remains uncertain. The rising concern of environmental impacts on construction necessitates the importance of finding more innovative ways to push environmental needs within the complexity of projects’ design and methods. Contractors hold a strategic position to promote and adopt EI into management, construction, and development. This paper explores 1) the adoption level of EI practices and 2) the relationship between the adoption of EI practices and the factors that drive EI, within the Malaysian contractor firms. A questionnaire survey was developed using 18 EI components and four driving factors. A total of 95 Grade G7 contractor firms responded to the survey. The survey revealed that the level of EI adoption in contractor firms is still at a moderate pace. The results showed that organisational EI is a crucial component that supports the firm’s eco-innovative management approach to improve firm’s environmental performance. The results indicated that all four driving factors have a positive relationship with the implementation of EI. Technology factor was identified as crucial in influencing better adoption of EI in contractor firms. Findings from this study are beneficial to develop a framework on strategies to increase the EI adoption rate among the contractor firms and deepen the understanding of EI implementation at the firm level, further extending to the project site level.
