Show moreIntegrated Project Delivery (IPD) is an emerging construction project delivery system that is collaborative oriented. It involves the critical participants in an early stage of the project timeline. Recently, IPD is becoming increasingly common. Many organizations are interested in contributing to the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. No research studies have previously observed and studied the effect of IPD implementation through an organizational change theory lens. The presented research work was designed to explore the role of organizational factors in the implementing first domain, reflecting the organizational level factors, including cultural and economic considerations. In contrast, the second domain focuses on member-level factors, i.e., employee involvement and readiness to change. Together, these domains influence the organization’s intention and adoption to change toward the IPD as a project delivery system. This impact is viewed through the lens of the OCT based on the contributions and theories discussed by various researchers. These researchers are from a variety of disciplines. A data collection survey was developed to gather quantitative data from the industry. Data was collected from N=128 employees from the construction industry. Data analysis was performed through Structure Equation Modeling using Smart PLS 3. Results showed that communication, integration significantly associated IPD implementation. Moreover, involvement and readiness change also positively predicted the implementation of IPD. The empirical result of current study validates all the constructs of the hypothetical model except reward system.
