Abstract

There have always been conflicting findings with respect to the effects of organizational culture on sustainable construction, suggesting the need for a moderator variable.Drawing on the resource-based view theory, this study examines the moderating effects of government support on the relationships between adhocracy culture, market orientation and sustainable construction among 172 large contractors in Malaysia, using a 61 item instrument. Both mailed and personally administered survey methods with structured questionnaires were used to collect the data. Using a partial least squared - structural equation modelling for the data analysis, we found a significant positive relationship between the adhocracy culture and sustainable construction. Similarly, the results also indicated that market orientation had a significant positive relationship with sustainable construction.The study also found a significant but negative relationship between government support and sustainable construction.As expected, government support was found to moderate the relationship between adhocracy culture and sustainable construction, while an insignificant interaction effect was found between market orientation and sustainable construction. Implications for practice and future research were also discussed.
