| Summary: | <p>This study aimed to examine the moderating effect of goal clarity on the relationship</p><p>between management functions (planning, organizing, leading & controlling) and</p><p>project success and to identify the contribution of construction project management</p><p>functions toward construction project success in Abu Dhabi, UAE. A structured</p><p>questionnaire was used to collect data. The sample consisted of 97 project managers</p><p>who work in 26 authorized large-construction companies in Abu-Dhabi. This study has</p><p>used Pearson correlation and multiple regression for data analysis. The findings</p><p>revealed that there are significant positive relationships between four functions of</p><p>project management i.e. planning (r=.691, p<.000,), organizing (r=.632, p<.000,),</p><p>leading (r=.580, p<.000,), controlling (r=.631, p<.000,) and project success. In addition,</p><p>the regression analysis revealed that project management contributes significantly to</p><p>project success (R = .708, R2 = .501, F (4, 92) = 23.137, p < .001). This means that</p><p>50.1% of the independent variables explained the variance in the dependent variable.</p><p>Also, the findings showed that there are significant relationships between all four</p><p>functions of management and goal clarity (MV) and also a significant relationship</p><p>found between goal clarity (MV) and project success (DV). Moreover, the findings</p><p>revealed that there is a significant effect of goal clarity together with the four project</p><p>management functions to project success is (R2 = .578, p < .001), where the R Square</p><p>Change showed the increase in variation explained by the addition of the moderator</p><p>variable (R2 change = .128, p < .001). As a conclusion, project goal clarity does</p><p>moderate the relationship between project management functions and project success.</p><p>In addition, the findings suggest the need for construction companies in Abu Dhabi to</p><p>work on improving the quality of all the management functions performed by project</p><p>managers and provide special attention to project goals clarity because they</p><p>significantly influence project success.</p> |
