“…On recent accounts, the underlying growth rate amongst residential projects is estimated at 12%, showing positive trend based on building consent issued (Tookey, 2021) but it is argued that these buildings may not have built. However, the diffusion of PHB technology spans around 48 months to reach the stability with trend of increase then decrease (Li et al ., 2022), somehow, on average the trend is increasing considering multiple technological intervention in HBI.…”

PurposeGlobally, prefabrication in housebuilding has evolved as an innovative approach to attain sustainability and affordability. However, the SC, including non-producers and producers, of prefabricated housebuilding projects is still not perceptually aligned, hindering innovation diffusion. This paper investigates the contemporary industry perspective on PHB for conceptualisation, market share and growth, innovation diffusion and the producer's role in the context of New Zealand.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory qualitative research design was chosen to learn the perceptual stance of the industry. A semi-structured survey was conducted, followed by interviews with selected supply chain participants, who were producers and non-producers and had relevant experience in the PHB industry.FindingsThis study reports the common terminologies used by supply chain members, with justification and explanation. Further, the perceived market share and growth of the PHB industry are obtained and compared with subsequent studies to determine the capability and capacity. The perception of the diffusion of PHB by type is reported to portray the overall trend of the industry. In the last, the role of producers as the suppliers of PHB projects is investigated to establish the stakeholder positional criticality.Practical implicationsThis study can help researchers and practitioners gain insight into the PHB industry from a multi-dimensional perspective. This study is a potential first step to formalise the policy, programme, strategies and action plan for the uptake of the PHB in the New Zealand.Originality/valuePHB diffusion in the supply chain perspective, considering multi-dimensional aspects, has not been considered in previous studies as government agencies produce most of the literature. This academic research establishes the theoretical linkage towards PHB diffusion and reports the current status.

“…Hasan et al (2021) believed that the long-term success of technology implementation and the associated productivity gains depend on the effective use of technology rather than just technology adoption. However, existing studies on PC diffusion neglect intra-organizational diffusion and just focus on the initial adoption or inter-organizational diffusion, without clearly explaining the poor organizational performance after PC adoption in practice (Gan et al, 2019;Li et al, 2021Li et al, , 2022cDou et al, 2020;Cai et al, 2022). Studying the relationship between intraorganizational diffusion of PC technology and organizational performance may help to understand why organizational performance is poor after the adoption of PC technology.…”

“…The above studies add to the understanding of improving the breadth of PC technology diffusion and help facilitate the actual diffusion of PC technology across organizations in practice. However, the existing studies on PC technology diffusion fail to explain why quite a few organizations do not get significant improvements in organizational performance from adopting PC technology in practice, as they stated (Yuan et al, 2021;Li et al, 2022c;Chen et al, 2010b;Steinhardt and Manley, 2016). In fact, existing studies just use a 0-1 level dichotomy, which considers the results of PC technology diffusion as simple adoption or non-adoption, ignoring the process of gradual integration with the organization system and acceptance by employees, i.e.…”

PurposeInsufficient intra-organizational diffusion of prefabricated construction (PC) technology hinders its implementation benefits. More research on intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology is required to improve organizational performance in PC implementation. This study aims to explore the antecedents and consequence of intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology.Design/methodology/approachThis study established an antecedent and consequence model of intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology from the perspective of contingency theory. The model was empirically tested by 91 valid questionnaires using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results indicate that organizational support (OSU), organizational climate (OC) and mechanistic organizational structure (OST) positively influence intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology, which further positively influences organizational performance. The relationship between OC and intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology is mediated by OSU. Technological turbulence negatively moderates the relationship between OSU and intra-organizational diffusion.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to study the antecedents and consequence of intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology and an expansion of contingency theory in the research field of PC technology. This study helps to theoretically stimulate future research on intra-organizational diffusion and practically promote intra-organizational diffusion of PC technology along with improving organizational performance in its implementation.
