Abstract

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of sustainable construction practices in Nigeria, focusing on the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research examines the relationships between various independent latent constructs—organizational culture, government policies, financial implications, stakeholder processes, and technology availability—and their impact on sustainability outcomes. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from 248 respondents from 10 sampled construction companies in Nigeria. The data collected was analysed using SIMPLEX Project in LISREL The result of the SEM highlight the paramount importance of government policies, exhibiting the highest path coefficients across all sustainability dimensions. Organizational culture significantly influences sustainability, with companies prioritizing sustainability more likely to adopt green technologies and eco-friendly practices. Financial resources, effective stakeholder engagement, and access to advanced technologies also positively impact sustainability outcomes. The study reveals significant cross-impacts among the three sustainability dimensions, demonstrating their interconnected nature. These insights provide valuable recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders to foster a sustainability-oriented culture, invest in technology, and engage stakeholders effectively.
