“…Tijani et al (2021) report the effectiveness of the theory in explaining construction organisations' propensity to meet external demand. The theory, moreover, suggests that a single optimum strategy to achieve a competitive advantage does not exist (Nnaji and Awolusi, 2021). In contrast, it exemplifies that different environments require different business strategies, and higher business performance is subject to the fit across the contingency factors (Donaldson, 2001;Cigolini et al, 2022).…”

“…In the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, Nnaji and Awolusi investigated the critical success factors influencing wearable sensing device implementation [24]. They identified 25 success factors of wearable technology implementation from literature, including ease of use, effectiveness, leadership involvement, project size, etc.…”

“…This concern of return on investment was also observed in Ahn et al [1]'s review. As Nnaji and Awolusi pointed out, sufficient implementation budget is a successful factor for wearable adoption [24]. To promote the large-scale adoption of wearable-based MSDs prevention approach, practitioners need to understand the cumulative financial benefits of adopting this approach in the long term.…”

“…Thus, in the survey, the participants scored ease of use (Q11) as one of the lowest concerns in terms of wearable adoption. In fact, Nnaji and Awolusi identified that worker education and training is one of the key strategies to improve the implementation of wearables [24]. Education and training could help workers understand the effectiveness of the wearables and become more willing to adopt the technology.…”

Wearable technology has been playing an increasingly essential role in the construction domain, especially for safety and health related research. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most prevalent health problems among construction workers due to the physical demanding feature of the construction work. To solve this problem, wearable sensing technology has been applied for MSDs prevention. However, the large-scale adoption of wearables has encountered challenges and barriers. This study firstly reviewed recent literature on the factors influencing wearable technology adoption and designed a survey based on the review to further investigate adoption barriers and strategies using our proposed MSDs prevention system as a case study. The results demonstrate that the discomfort and fatigue caused by wearing devices for a long period of time is the main concerns hindering wearable adoption in our case. Construction managers expressed concerns on the indirect costs of implementation and workers expressed their concern on the invasion of privacy. To address these concerns, strategies to promote wearable adoption identified in literature such as worker training and education and providing personalized features were discussed. This study provides insight into the factors contributing to the large-scale adoption of wearable technology for MSDs prevention from the application perspective.

Despite the impact of decision-making in the design of buildings and places, there is limited understanding concerning how decisions are best made, or how these should be evaluated and optimised. Additionally, technological advancements have increased human-to-machine interactions, altering existing decision-making processes. By understanding how novel technologies affect decisions, it motivates the development of the process, tools, and metrics. The aim of this paper is to investigate, quantify, and rank the relative importance of the decision-making factors contributing to the design of building and urban projects. A survey was conducted to gain an insight of stakeholders’ perceptions as to which are the influencing factors affecting decision-making processes in the design of buildings and places. Ten distinct factors were generated , of which, four were ranked as highly important for all stakeholder types, namely: Potential for Dynamic Operation, Thoroughness, Recency of Tools and Control. This study provides a new means to evaluate performance of decision-making processes, when these are undertaken, by developing and applying a quantitative data-driven, evidence-based methodological framework. The recipients of the findings will be the urban planners, designers, and academics who are interested in improving existing approaches in design and final decision outcomes utilising novel technologies.
