Abstract:

Contractors are the main implementers to achieve green construction, and the contractor’s green construction capability (CGCC) is far-reaching for green construction. Research on CGCC exists in a number of disciplines, with major contributions in construction management, environment management, and sustainable management research. Despite the fact that CGCC is widely utilised in both research and practice, its formation and action mechanism remain obscure due to the multi-disciplinary nature of CGCC. This study is motivated by this research gap. This study conducted a comprehensive investigation of CGCC by using a systematic review covering 74 relevant publications published from 2005 to the first half of 2022. Five main research clusters were identified: (1) CGCC implementation; (2) CGCC performance; (3) CGCC profound impact; (4) CGCC and green building; and (5) CGCC and sustainability. Existing research collaborations on CGCC are infrequent, although this is an area of research that requires multi-disciplinary collaboration. Studies such as CGCC enhancement mechanisms and evaluation systems have received less attention. An integrative framework was proposed for future scholars to build upon as well as a guidance for executives.
