In the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is important to consider the contribution of the construction industry. Due to the massive impact of the construction industry on sustainable development, numerous studies have focused on sustainable practices within the industry. Studies on the adoption of sustainable construction practices tend to focus on awareness, barriers, and drivers. This study proposes institutional theory as a basis to influence construction firms to adopt sustainable construction practices. The study evaluated the impact of coercive, normative, and mimetic institutional pressures on the adoption of sustainable construction practices in Ghana. The study adopted a quantitative research method using data from 103 survey questionnaires and analyzed with PLS-SEM. The findings of the study showed the criticality of coercive and mimetic institutional pressures to the adoption of sustainable construction practices. The outcome of this study provides empirical evidence on institutional theory as critical to the adoption of sustainable construction practices. This outcome provides a much more proactive approach to dealing with sustainability issues within the Ghanaian construction industry.
