Resumen

The carbon-neutral behavior of building construction companies is a key issue in carbon-neutral research worldwide. However, little is known about the willingness of construction firms to segregate and recycle construction waste. After studying a large amount of literature, this study finally focused on combining various statistical methods based on constructing a structural equation model of the drivers of carbon-neutral behaviors of construction enterprises to collect and analyze the attitudes and opinions of building construction enterprises on resource utilization management. The results of the study show that the willingness of construction enterprises to manage the separate disposal and utilization of construction waste is mainly influenced by perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived risk drivers. The degree of influence was 0.36 for perceived usefulness, 0.26 for perceived risk, and 0.24 for perceived ease of use, with increasing project revenue having the greatest influence on firms? willingness; resource cost having the least degree of influence on firms? willingness; and subjective norms and perceived behavioral control having a non-significant influence on behavioral intentions. It further suggests that an increase in project revenue and a decrease in project cost may motivate construction firms to implement carbon-neutral projects. This study may provide a theoretical framework and research direction for construction enterprises to formulate policies for the classification and disposal of construction waste and recycling management.
