Abstract

The prosperity of the construction industry is the main driving force for national economic development. Smart city technology can assist the digital transformation of the construction industry and thereby enhance the output value of the construction industry. In order to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the application of smart city technology is an essential tool. The purpose of the study is to determine the factors that affect the attitude of construction industry workers to utilize smart city technologies. The hypothesis was formulated through an extensive examination of existing literature, drawing upon the principles of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Utilization of Technology (UTAUT). The produced proposal includes six primary hypotheses and four moderators. A total of 335 responses in Taiwan were collected in order to develop a structural equation model (SEM) to evaluate the questionnaire data. The results include: (1) Performance expectancy, Effort expectancy, and Social influence significantly affect users’ willingness to utilize smart city technologies; (2) Facilitating conditions and behavioral intentions show insignificant results on actual behavior; The research findings have important reference value for decision-makers and participants in construction industries, as well as other enterprises in the construction industry, regarding the adoption of smart city technology.
