Research on the Adoption Behavior Mechanism of BIM from the Perspective of Owners: An Integrated Model of TPB and TAM

How to expand an owner’s market demand for BIM and fundamentally mobilize an owner’s application enthusiasm is of great significance to the high-quality development and effective promotion of BIM. Taking the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) as the basic framework and integrating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we build a theoretical model of an owner’s adoption behavior mechanism for BIM technology. The theoretical model is tested by the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The research results show that the perceived usefulness of BIM technology by an owner is the most significant factor that affects the owner’s behavioral intention to apply BIM technology. The influence of attitude on behavioral intention is very weak and not significant. Subjective norms can significantly and positively affect an owner’s adoption intention. The perceived ease of use has a positive impact on the adoption intention of BIM technology, but its role is very limited. The adoption intention of an owner can positively affect adoption behavior and has a direct driving effect. The research results can improve the relevant research on BIM, encourage an owner to actively participate in the development process of BIM, and further promote the comprehensive promotion and application of BIM.
