Abstract

Notion of Construction IR 4.0 has evolved recently, managers have to deal with increasingly difficult decision-making processes. The present study aimed to bridge this gap by employing the TAM and EOT theories and synthesising extant research to generate an exhaustive inventory of 16 crucial digital leadership factors (DLFs) for leader and organisation, respectively, which were assessed by 341 construction managers. The data were ranked using factor analysis following a relative relevance index. The information indicates that internal aspects fall into three cluster: (1) factors related to digital strategy and expertise, (2) commitment and trust, and (3) digital literacy and skill acquisition. Three clusters of external aspects were identified: (1) factors related to collaboration and partnerships; (2) factors related to digital cybersecurity and policy; and (3) factors related to capital, workshops, and training. Thus, efforts to enhance digital leadership practice (DLP) in Malaysia ought to concentrate on these wide groups.
