Purpose The growing interest in blockchain technology (BCT) adoption and the pressing need to ensure resilience in construction supply chains (CSCs) have witnessed the attention of practitioners and researchers. Accordingly, this study proposes an integrated model for BCT adoption and resilience in CSCs. Design/methodology/approach By highlighting the significance of the “resilience” dimension to combat disruptions in CSCs, this study employs an extended “technological, organizational, environmental (TOE)” (i.e. TOE with “resilience dimension”) framework to pinpoint factors that facilitate BCT adoption and resilience in CSCs. Subsequently, this study examines the relative importance of the identified factors by employing the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP). Further, sensitivity analysis is performed to examine the robustness of the proposed model. Findings This study identifies 21 factors that facilitate BCT adoption and resilience in CSCs, by reviewing the existing literature and collecting insights from researchers and practitioners. The outcomes of FAHP analysis reveal that construction practitioners should primarily focus on the “technological” and “resilience” dimensions to build BCT-enabled and resilient CSCs. Practical implications The findings of this research should assist practitioners and scholars in understanding and managing the key factors of BCT-enabled and resilient CSCs for sustained growth in the competitive global market. Originality/value The novelty of this study lies in proposing and utilizing an extended TOE framework for BCT adoption and ensuring firms’ resilience to combat disruptions, identifying factors that facilitate BCT adoption and resilience in CSCs and computing the relative importance of the identified factors.
