本研究旨在构建一个引诱承包商违规行为的三层驱动程序体系，并探讨这些驱动因素的重要性和相互关系，从而为承包商违规行为的治理提供理论支持。设计/方法/途径基于欺诈钻石理论的文献综述从压力、机会、合理化和能力四个方面确定了驱动承包商违规行为的驱动因素。在中国的背景下，通过对10位专家的半结构化访谈的反馈、讨论和分析，起草了一个改进的三级司机制度。在此基础上，进行了问卷调查和专家评分，为本研究提供数据支持。采用决策试验与评价实验室(DEMATEL)方法确定各因素之间的关系和影响程度，并采用基于DEMATEL的分析网络过程法对各因素进行权重分析。研究结果表明，压力对承包商违规行为的驱动因素具有重要的驱动作用，其中文化氛围差、内部控制薄弱、经验丰富、道德脱节和信息不对称5个因素对承包商违规行为的影响最大。研究结果还表明，压力对诱惑性违规行为有很强的作用，文化氛围和公司内部治理对违规行为的发生起着至关重要的作用。实践启示本研究为建筑从业者分析承包商违规行为的驱动因素提供了有力的工具。本研究确定的建筑施工实践场景中的违规司机可以为承包商、监管机构和行业提供更直接、更有效的违规相关指导。原创性/价值基于欺诈钻石的新视角，系统构建了理论与实践相结合的三层司机体系。本研究有助于了解承包商违规行为的驱动机制，特别是承包商内部因素的重要性，为建筑业合规治理提供理论参考。
PurposeThis research aims to build a three-tiered driver system that entices contractor rule violations and explores the importance and the relationships among these drivers, hence providing theoretical support for the contractor rule violations governance.Design/methodology/approachA literature review based on fraud diamond theory identified drivers from Pressure, Opportunity, Rationalization and Capability that drive contractor rule violations. In the Chinese context, through feedback, discussion and analysis of semistructured interviews with ten experts, an improved three-tiered driver system was drafted. Based on this system, a survey was conducted and scored with experts to provide the data for this research. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to determine relationships and influences between factors, and the DEMATEL-based analytic network process method was used to weigh these factors.FindingsThis paper systematically studied the drivers of contractor rule violations, specifically, the results showed that pressure had an important driving effect across the driver system, and those five factors – poor cultural atmosphere, weak internal control, prior experience, moral disengagement and information asymmetry – had the most influence on contractor rule violations. The results also indicated the strong effect pressure has on enticing rule violations and revealed that culture atmosphere and internal company governance played crucial roles in the occurrence of rule violations.Practical implicationsThis study provided construction practitioners with a robust tool to analyze the drivers of contractor rule violations. The rule violation drivers in the construction practice scenes identified in this study can provide more direct and effective violation-related guidance for contractors, regulators and the industry.Originality/valueBased on the new perspective of fraud diamond, this paper systematically bulit a three-tiered driver system combining theory with practice. This study contributed to understand the driver mechanism of contractor rule violations especially the importance of internal factors of contractors, which provided theory reference for compliance governance of construction industry.
