TI  - Structural Equation Model of the Factors Affecting Construction Industry Innovation Success
AB  - Innovation is seen as one of the major factors to improve construction industry despite
conventional structure of the industry impede implementation of its practices. A convenient
solution to promote innovation or force the companies to adopt it, is the legal regulations that
can be set forth by the decision makers of whom aware and prevailed of the macro benefits
of innovation practices. However, the impact of innovation practices on industry indicators
was not defined adequately to understand those benefits. This study aims to reveal the
relationship between company-level innovation success measures and industry-level
innovation success indicators. Therefore, a comprehensive literature review was performed
to determine those success measures and indicators and the results were validated with an
illustrative case study. The outputs of the case study was used to construct structural equation
model exhibiting the interdependencies between factors. The study results approved that
there is a significant relationship between the innovation practices of construction companies
and construction industry innovation. According to the results, increase in competitive
advantage among rivals and improved reputation were seen as the two highest indicators in
the company-level. Additionally, the study showed that the most important innovation
success indicator at the industry-level was found as “employment and new job opportunities”.
