Abstract

Given increasing concerns regarding environmental issues, environmentally responsible behavior during the construction of cross-sea bridge projects becomes critical. However, a systematic investigation of the topic remains absent. To bridge the knowledge gap, this study first defines environmentally responsible behavior from four perspectives: purposes, means, contents and influencing factors. Then, the study uses a grounded theory approach to code and analyze 101 documentations retrieved from 30 cross-sea bridge projects carried out by Chinese construction companies worldwide. Results show that environmentally responsible behaviors in cross-sea bridge projects are highly influenced by four factors, namely government policies, public opinions, goals of the projects, and construction companies'philosophy of environmental protection. Results also indicate that Chinese construction companies have used managerial, technical, and ecological means to ensure that the goals of environmentally responsible behaviors, namely minimization of damage to marine ecology; prevention of air, noise and visual pollution; and reduction of resource consumptions, are achieved. Lastly, suggestions for promoting and governing environmentally responsible behavior are proposed.
