  • Abstract:
    Information and communication technology (ICT) in construction facilitates integrated work processes, but low user acceptance of the technology can be a hindrance to its implementation. This paper examines individual’s ICT adoption from the person-environment (P-E) perspective with respect to person-culture fit and person-task fit. An exploratory study with a questionnaire was conducted primarily in the Hong Kong construction industry with 113 valid responses to examine if person-culture fit and person-task fit are contributory to an individual’s intention to adopt ICT, how person-task fit relates to organizational and personal variables, and which ICT type has the best person-task fit. It was found that person-task fit predicts an individual’s ICT adoption but person-culture fit does not. Person-task fit is related to the person’s age, employment level and the ICT adoption period (especially within the first five years) in the company. Person-task fit does not differ significantly amongst the different construction participant groups (contractors, consultants, and owners). The person-task fit of building information modeling ranks the lowest and is significantly lower than the procurement information packages with the highest person-task fit. It is suggested that the person-task-technology interaction models be taken into account in future research to refine the investigation of the role of the ‘person’ in ICT adoption.
