Exploring the Acceptance of the Technical Disclosure Method Based on 3D Digital Technological Process by Construction Workers through the Perspective of TAM

Abstract

Effective pre-control methods for construction workers during the construction phase are important means to ensure the final quality of the construction product. The 3D digital technological process introduces model-based definition (MBD) to the construction industry and enhances construction process management to some extent by combining it with building information modeling (BIM). However, the proper application of the 3D digital technological process requires a good knowledge of the factors associated with its acceptance. This study introduced the 3D digital technological process into technical disclosure and further explored the factors that may influence its acceptance among the construction worker population. Several new extrinsic variables, cognitive level, subjective norms, technology anxiety, and enjoyment, were added and evaluated in the technology acceptance model (TAM), and a total of 314 data samples were collected to verify the hypothesized paths. The results showed that the proposed model was effective in predicting the attitude of the worker population towards this method.
