“…For analysis involving PLS, three tests can be used to evaluate the convergent validity of the calculated constructs (Fornell and Larcker, 1981): Cronbach's alpha (α), composite reliability scores (ρc) and average variance extracted (AVE) (Kissi et al , 2019). The threshold of “modest” reliability of a composite is defined when ρc=0.7 (Rani et al , 2021). Accordingly, values above 0.70 are well adequate for exploratory research (Wong, 2013).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the barriers militating against the adoption of robotics in the construction industry.Design/methodology/approachRobotics implementation barriers were obtained from the previous studies and then through questionnaire survey construction stakeholders in Nigeria evaluate these barriers. Consequently, these barriers were examined via the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique. Furthermore, a model of these barriers was implemented by means of a partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe EFA results showed that these barriers could be categorized into two: cost and technology. Results obtained from the proposed model showed that platform tools were crucial tools for implementing cloud computing.Originality/valueThe novelty of this research work will be provided a solid foundation for critically assessing and appreciating the different barriers affecting the adoption of robotics.

Quality of the workforce affects the quality of construction projects. It involves the ability and competence of the construction workforce, which contributes to the success of the construction projects. The paradigm transference toward liberalization leads to opportunities for collaboration between countries, but, on the other hand, it brings about tough competition. A competent workforce will survive facing such a paradigm. As a developing country, Indonesia faces challenges in improving the abilities and competencies in the construction workforce sector. This paper reviews the existing literature to explore workforce barriers to meeting liberalization. It found that the unreadiness of the construction workforce, the lack of clarification in existing legislation, the language barrier in gaining international certification, and financial problems are the main obstacles in improving workforce competence. This paper proposes approaches to overcome the barriers: a relook at existing legislation to provide more guidance on improving workforce competency, the need for stakeholder role in improving competence workforce, and giving affordable and accessible training and education and English course to the construction workforce.
