Linking public leadership with project management effectiveness: Mediating role of goal clarity and moderating role of top management support

“…Networking may attract stakeholders' involvement and support by receiving different hard and soft resources required for successful project completion [ 3 ]. Earlier literature has noted timely resource allocation and stakeholders’ involvement contribute to project success [ 5 ].…”

Timeliness of decisions is essential to adopt a development pace and a progress pace leading to successfully reaching the end of the front‐end (Ben Abdallah et al, 2022).…”

Beyond Failure and Success: A Process View on Imperfect Projects as Common Practice

A process approach of evaluating (embedded rather than isolated) projects can be particularly helpful in understanding indicators to measure achieved performances at the project, organization, field, and societal levels, including the temporal pace of such achievements (Abdallah et al, 2022).…”
