Abstract

This study provides an empirical support of how project owners' motivation can lead to increase in their commitment towards improving the delivery performance of green building projects, with focus on the Australian construction industry. The self-determination theory of motivation is used to explain project owners' motivation, and the relationship with owner commitment was examined using the structural equation modelling technique. In doing so, strategies for improving the delivering performance of green building projects are proposed, with an important implication for the design and implementation of government policies and programs for green building and related practices in the construction industry.
