Validating the measurement model of factors influencing BIM adoption in construction project management in Vietnam using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)

Abstract

This study validates the measurement model of factors influencing the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) in construction project management in Vietnam using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with a sample of 200 experts. Six latent constructs were examined, including Institutional - Policy, Human Resources, Management, Technology, Economics, and Environment. The results indicate that the measurement model achieved a good overall model fit (χ²/df = 1.925; GFI = 0.901; CFI = 0.932; TLI = 0.918; RMSEA = 0.054). The measurement scales demonstrated satisfactory composite reliability (CR ≥ 0.89), convergent validity (AVE ≥ 0.57), and discriminant validity. This research contributes a statistically validated measurement instrument tailored to the Vietnamese context, providing a solid academic foundation for subsequent causal relationship analyses in future studies.
