Abstract
ABSTRACT Contractors’ behavior for consummate performance (BCP) has an important impact on the value added of the project. Therefore, this paper first objective is based on theory of planned behavior (TPB) to understand contractors’ BCP. In addition, this study investigates which combination of influencing factors influence BCP by qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). A questionnaire survey including 195 respondents was used to collect the data. The results indicate that the BCP is mainly influenced by the perception of profit/cooperation/value attitudes, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control and the behavioral intention. The analyses also reveal two equifinal combinations of influencing factors that result in BCP. This study identified the factors leading to Chinese contractor BCP by extending the TPB model to the context of construction. The extended TPB model may serve as a theoretical framework and basis for Chinese contractors to perform BCP. Furthermore, this study contributes to the contractors’ behavioral literature by empirically presenting a configurational solution.
