Abstract
This study validates construction waste management (CWM) constructs among construction organisations in Abuja, Nigeria. Using a structured self-administered questionnaire, the data was duly collected from one hundred and seventy-eight project managers/managers of construction organisations. Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) technique was employed; the data was analysed using Smart-PLS 2.0 M3 software statistical package. Results of this study revealed that all the dimensions of technology readiness namely; optimism, waste recycling and waste reduction were highly relevant. Adequate level of internal consistency reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity for each of the construct of the construction waste management were established. Based on the results, it is recommended that the CWM instrument could be useful for measuring all the constructs of construction waste management among construction organisations for the achievement of efficient and correct operative construction waste management practice.
