A comprehensive evaluation of factors influencing offsite construction and BIM integration in the construction industry

PurposeThe construction industry's transformation of prefabrication into large-scale offsite manufacturing continues to grow. While the Offsite Construction (OSC) transition has brought positive changes to the industry, it also presents various challenges. Literature suggests that to address the challenges, advanced technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) can be applied for effective mitigation. Nonetheless, the combined application of BIM and OSC is in its infancy and faces challenges in many countries. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing OSC and BIM integration, including challenges and strategies within the New Zealand construction industry.Design/methodology/approachThis study explores which specific factors impact integration positively or negatively through a comprehensive literature review and confirmatory survey. Factor Analysis (FA) was used as the data analysis method, resulting in eight groups of underlying factors. Next, three Structural Equation Models (SEM) were developed and tested to analyze the impact of latent and observed variables on OSC and BIM integration.FindingsSignificant underlying factors affecting OSC and BIM integration were identified, and recommendations to enhance integration were provided. Specifically, the findings demonstrated that three underlying factors for challenges, two for strategies and three for integration were identified through EFA and confirmed by CFA. This step was followed by SEM, which employed three different path analysis models for integration variables. It clarified that not all variables have similar impacts on integration; some exhibit significant positive or negative effects, while others are not significant at all.Originality/valueThe identified challenges and strategies for OSC and BIM integration and their impact on integration factors can contribute to developing standardized integration guidelines and frameworks to assist stakeholders in focusing on their specific integration goals.

The Role of Transformational Leadership and PsyCapin Shaping Organizational Citizenship Behavior: Exploring Job Satisfaction as a Mediator

This paper focuses on the relationship between Transformational leadership, Psychological Capital, Job satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship Behavior in the context of the banking industry. Transformational leadership (TL) is considered a strong determinant of Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) since the behaviors it promotes support the organization’s effectiveness in ways that are not covered by the contractual responsibilities of an employee. Consequently, the effects of Transformational leadership and PsyCap(PsyCap) on employees’ Organizational citizenship behavior have not been studied extensively, incorporating the banking industry perspective into the investigation. To fill this void, the present research aims to look into the effects of Transformational leadership and PsyCap on Organizational citizenship behavior, with Job Satisfaction (JS) as the mediator. Based on the quantitative, descriptive study and cross-sectional method of data analysis, the study makes use of 242 structured questionnaires distributed among banking professionals to test the research hypotheses. The collected data was analyzed and examined by using Structured Equation Modeling through the Partial Least Square method. To analyze the collected data SPSS version 26 and Smart PLS 4 were used. The results thus highlight positive. Job satisfaction significantly mediates the Psychological capital, Job satisfaction but not significant with Transformational leadership, and Job satisfaction. These results extend the leadership and employee behavior literature in stress conditions and have practical implications for improving organization performance and employees’ well-being through leadership training and HR practices promotion. This work fills a hole in the writing and offers viable bits of knowledge for upgrading representative prosperity and hierarchical viability.

ELISA-R: an R-based method for robust ELISA data analysis.

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a technique to detect the presence of an antigen or antibody in a sample. ELISA is a simple and cost-effective method that has been used for evaluating vaccine efficacy by detecting the presence of antibodies against viral/bacterial antigens and diagnosis of disease stages. Traditional ELISA data analysis utilizes a standard curve of known analyte, and the concentration of the unknown sample is determined by comparing its observed optical density against the standard curve. However, in the case of vaccine research for complicated bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), there is no prior information regarding the antigen against which high-affinity antibodies are generated and therefore plotting a standard curve is not feasible. Consequently, the analysis of ELISA data in this instance is based on a comparison between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. However, to the best of our knowledge, no robust data analysis method exists for "non-standard curve" ELISA. In this paper, we provide a straightforward R-based ELISA data analysis method with open access that incorporates end-point titer determination and curve-fitting models. Our modified method allows for direct measurement data input from the instrument, cleaning and arranging the dataset in the required format, and preparing the final report with calculations while leaving the raw data file unchanged. As an illustration of our method, we provide an example from our published data in which we successfully used our method to compare anti-Mtb antibodies in vaccinated vs non-vaccinated mice.
