Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is seen as a way to enhance knowledge collection in the construction sector. Although the theoretical benefits of ICT implementation have been clarified, realizing such benefits is insufficient. This paper attempted a systematic analysis of the literature using ATLAS.ti 9 software to save, identify, and analyze this study’s data. A total of 102 articles were actively reviewed, including 82 Scopus journals and 20 conference papers published from 2003 to 2020. In this article, from a construction industry point of view, the ICT adoption process is considered as an interaction between technology, task, and an individual from a construction industry perspective. While ICT is acknowledged as a source of aggressive gain by both practitioners and scholars, ICT’s sole presence would definitely not guarantee achievement in the industry’s ICT approval. Companies cannot grasp the full benefits of ICT, except that users are able to adopt the technology. Hence, the issues related to ICT adoption need to be examined.

Highlights

  • Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an extended term that is usually employed in place of Information Technology (IT) [1]

  • (2) Comprehensive description: The principal emphasis of this research is on ICT adoption research for the construction industry (CI), and the received articles are distributed by 14 keywords as discussed above

  • As is stated in the introduction, this research mainly focuses on three types of ICT—electronic data interchange/electronic data management method (EDI and Electronic Data Management System (EDMS)), web-based management method, and building information modeling (BIM)—because the company-wide information system will have a more substantial influence on organization culture and people’s behavior regarding stand-alone technology

Summary

Introduction

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an extended term that is usually employed in place of Information Technology (IT) [1]. It describes an extensive industrial spectrum of services concerning information technology, information systems, computer science, e-business, and software engineering. Over the last few decades, these advancements have gradually spread across many countries, reflecting the ICT components’ increasing export rate in the 1990s. This growth accounted for a considerable proportion of the total trade in ICT products, including telecom equipment, semiconductors, office machines, and IT products. It is commonly seen that the use of ICT enhances the competitiveness of organizational enterprises [5]
