摘要

Abstract

Purpose

Through the lens of social cognitive theory

this study investigates the impact of perceived leadership communication on project success (PS)

with team resilience as a mediator and occupational self-efficacy (OSE) as a moderator. The perception of leadership communication is a critical determinant of PS.

Methodology

Time-lagged data were collected from 320 employees working in project-based organizations within the construction industry of Rawalpindi and Islamabad

Pakistan. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS 4.0 and Process Macro.

Findings

The results reveal a significant relationship between perceived leadership communication and PS. Team resilience is a significant mediator between perceived leadership communication and PS

while OSE strengthens the relationship between perceived leadership and team resilience.

Implications for theory and practice

The study advances the understanding of human behavior within organizational contexts

offering valuable insights for developing employee-friendly work policies aimed at achieving PS and enhancing productivity. The findings are particularly relevant for practitioners and researchers

shedding light on the complex dynamics of leadership

team resilience

and individual self-efficacy in achieving project success. By recognizing the multifaceted nature of project success and the underlying mechanisms at play

organizations can better equip themselves to navigate challenges

capitalize on opportunities

and achieve successful project outcomes in today's dynamic and competitive landscape.
