Organizational Culture and Effective Communication as Moderators in the Relationship between Sustainable Project Management and Project Success.

Abstract


 This paper examines two key mechanisms of Effective Communication (EC) and Organizational culture (OC) in moderating the relationship between Sustainable Project Management (SPM)and Project Success (PS). Quantitative technique of data collection by questionnaire was applied and 246 responses were received from project management professionals working on various projects in Pakistan. The results depicted interdependence of PS on SPM. However, the moderating impact of OC and EC on the relationship between PS and SPM is insignificant. Seemingly this paper contributes to literature on SPM in context of Pakistani projects. Sustainability is considered a key success factor for project acceptance, growing technological advancements, competitive markets, immutable competitions, as well as trade and market restrictions, laws & policies, and cultural differences, organizations around the world are striving to embrace Sustainable Project Management (SPM) to not only achieve the objectives of the organization or project but to remain in the market to deliver more than their competitors. This could only be achieved if the project management process produces sustainable results. Mechanisms of organizational culture and effective communications are of notable importance while studying the relationship of sustainable project management and project success.
