Motivation and owner commitment for improving the delivery performance of green building projects: A research framework

This paper proposes a research framework for evaluating the relationship between motivation and owner commitment for improving the delivery performance of green building projects in the construction industry. The research framework can generate knowledge in a positivistic manner, and the quantitative methodology for planning and devising the survey method of data collection and the structural equation modelling technique of data analysis. Theoretically, the research framework can be modified or extended by other researchers for investigating the delivery performance of green building projects, while in practical terms, it will help in identifying how to increase project owners’ commitment for improving the delivery performance of green building projects in the construction industry. Finally, a research agenda is proposed towards achieving the aim of establishing empirical relationship between motivation and owner commitment for improving the delivery performance of green building projects
