dc.description.abstractENGLISH : This study explored the key human behavioural factors influencing the adoption of timber and engineered wood products in the construction industry by integrating the key constructs of the theory of planned behaviour and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The study identified relationships between attitude towards behaviour and performance expectancy, subjective norm and social influence, perceived behavioural control and facilitating conditions, and effort expectancy in the context of timber adoption. The proposed framework provides a theoretical foundation for further research on the adoption of timber in the construction industry.
dc.description.abstractAFRIKAANS : Hierdie studie het die belangrikste menslike gedragsfaktore wat die aanvaarding van hout en vervaardigde houtprodukte in die konstruksiebedryf beïnvloed, ondersoek deur die sleutelkonstrukte van die teorie van beplande gedrag en die verenigde teorie van aanvaarding en gebruik van tegnologie te integreer. Die studie het die verwantskappe tussen houding teenoor gedrag en prestasieverwagting, subjektiewe norm en sosiale invloed, waargenome gedragsbeheer en fasiliteringsomstandighede, en verwagte poging in die konteks van houtaanvaarding geïdentifiseer. Die voorgestelde raamwerk bied 'n teoretiese fondament vir verdere navorsing oor die aanvaarding van hout in die konstruksiebedryf.
