Abstract

Technological changes (such as Construction 4.0) in an organization cause the workforce to exhibit resistance to change, job redundancy, etc. Geographical location will no longer provide a competitive advantage, but resources will be the source of competitive advantage in the future, and these resources will be intangible, valuable, and not be easily imitated. The aim of this study is to provide an understanding of the future competitive advantages of organizations in the construction industry that could help the construction workforce easily adapt to technological changes. This study is based on resource-based theory and the ADKAR change management model. This study developed an ADREKA sequence for organizations to achieve future competitive advantage during technological changes in the construction industry. Hence, building social, relational, and human capital is necessary during technological changes to achieve competitive advantage for an organization and foster workforce adaptability to change.
