Abstract：The development of BIM is inducing an unprecedented change in the architecture, engineering, and construction(AEC) industry. However, the AEC industry is facing barriers and challenges in BIM adoption such as industry, technology, personnel and many other obstacles. Among them, the psychological resistance of designers in BIM adoption has received widespread attention and emphasis. In order to explore the relationship between dispositional resistance to change of designers and BIM adoption from the perspective of psychological capital, this paper constructed the relational model of psychological capital, dispositional resistance to change with BIM adoption. Data were collected from architectural design companies in China. A total of 152 designers participated in the survey. We used the sample data for empirical analysis. The results show that designers’ psychological capital has a negative impact on dispositional resistance to change, which in turn negatively affects BIM adoption. Furthermore, the mediating test shows that individual innovativeness acts as a mediator between dispositional resistance to change and BIM adoption. All hypotheses were supported. The research findings provide a useful reference for overcoming designers’ dispositional resistance to change from the perspective of psychological capital to promote the adoption of BIM which suggest that in the practice of implementing BIM, architectural design companies should strengthen the psychological counseling for designers, and improve their psychological capital and individual innovativeness.
