A technology pillars for civil engineering industries related to the fourth industrial revolution toward organizational sustainability

Abstract

The development of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is the rise of technologies characterized through utilization of cyber-physical systems, smart factories, and service innovations affecting workplace elements of the civil engineering industry in order to create an organization capable of continuous change. It is imperative that the organizations are equipped with technology, but surprisingly, this is influenced by critical factors such as the rise of smart industries. Little is known about technology pillars and green technology in the civil engineering Industry 4.0, and research has made few contributions to the topic of Industry 4.0 from a civil engineer’s perspective. This paper aims to fill this research gap in terms of organizational sustainability. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify technology pillars related to Industry 4.0 affecting the sectors in the civil engineering industry and to identify the civil engineering sectors affected by Green Technology. The research method used in this study was a survey in which 270 respondents participated from Malaysia civil engineering industries. The findings could help support and guide best practices of technology adoption for civil engineering industries for organizational sustainability.
