Abstract
This study examines the direct, mediating, and moderating effects of Transformational Leadership (TL), Work Engagement (WE), and Project Complexity (PC) on Project Success (PS). Using survey methods and multivariate data analysis through structural equation modeling with 326 project managers in Vietnam, the results show that TL scientifically predicts PS; TL positively impacts WE; WE strongly influences PS; and the link between TL and PS is moderated by PC and mediated by WE. The results indicate that project-oriented businesses should consider TL when hiring for project management roles and offer transformational leadership training to assist project managers in becoming more exceptional. Future studies could use longitudinal research to understand better how the impact of these antecedents on project success changes over time.
本研究探讨了变革型领导(TL)、工作参与(WE)和项目复杂性(PC)对项目成功(PS)的直接、中介和调节作用。通过对越南 326 名项目经理的调查方法和结构方程模型进行多变量数据分析,结果表明:变革型领导科学地预测了项目成功;变革型领导对工作投入有积极影响;工作投入对项目成功有强烈影响;变革型领导和项目成功之间的联系受到 PC 的调节和 WE 的中介。研究结果表明,以项目为导向的企业在招聘项目管理人员时应考虑 TL,并提供变革型领导力培训,帮助项目经理变得更加卓越。未来的研究可以利用纵向研究来更好地了解这些先决条件对项目成功的影响是如何随着时间的推移而变化的。
