“…Project managers have to manage three important areas which include increasing the speed of construction, increasing the speed of delivery, and reducing the time duration [43]. Large and complicated projects usually take a long time and involve high costs.…”

Successful project completion is a challenging phenomenon for project managers. Various factors play an indispensable role in the success of a project. The objective of this study is to examine the role of project managers’ personalities in project success with the moderating role of external environmental factors i.e., political, economic, social. The study includes 145 project managers from 36 large-scale construction projects, from both the public and private sectors. The big five personality model was used to evaluate the personality traits of project managers and triple constraint criteria (cost, time, and quality) was used to gauge project success. Data has been collected through a well-structured questionnaire. The analysis of data indicated that personality traits like extraversion and openness are positive predictors of project success, whereas conscientiousness, agreeableness, and neuroticism did not have any direct relationship with project success. Importantly, the findings of this study concluded that external environmental factors—like political, economic, and social—moderately influence the link of specific project managers’ personality traits to project success. The role of external environmental factors as moderators has been discussed. The findings indicate the essential personality traits, as well as the role of external factors for achieving project success. The research contributions have relevance to both theory and practice and provide a deeper insight that is useful for individuals, organizations, researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers.

“…A successful project is defined as the one which can deliver the required expectations of the stakeholders and achieve its projected purpose (Ingle and Mahesh, 2020). However, the term performance can have different meanings from the different stakeholder's perspectives (Davis, 2014; Turner and Zolin, 2012).…”

“…Ample research is available that looks into the factors that affect project performance (Chan et al , 2002; Molenaar and Navarro, 2011; El-Asmar et al , 2016; Tripathi and Jha, 2018; Ingle and Mahesh, 2020). It is generally agreed that the project performance can be improved by creating and enhancing capabilities and efficient use of resources.…”

PurposeThe previous researchers have identified human capital, relational capital and structural capital as knowledge assets in knowledge-driven organizations. The current study is an attempt to identify and validate the knowledge assets in construction projects. The study also aims to understand the interrelation of these knowledge assets and their impact on project performance through the development of a conceptual model.Design/methodology/approachThe study is divided into three phases. In phase I, the constructs of “knowledge assets” and “project performance” in construction projects are identified using the exploratory factor analysis. In phase II, these constructs are validated using confirmatory factor analysis. Two separate surveys are conducted for phase I and phase II, respectively. In phase III, the authors develop two conceptual models based on the literature review and two construction project cases in India. The models examine the inter-relationship of knowledge assets and measures their impact on project performance. The models are empirically tested using the responses of the second survey through a structural equation model.FindingsThe study extracts four knowledge asset constructs and one performance construct which are named human capital, structural capital, relational capital, human capital capacity building process and project performance, respectively. The study finds that both the conceptual models are statistically excellent fit. The results of the models suggest that relational capital and structural capital have a direct positive impact on project performance, whereas human capital has an indirect effect on project performance mediated through relational capital, structural capital and human capital capacity building process.Research limitations/implicationsThe items for knowledge asset constructs and measurement of project performance are moderated by experts, working in construction projects in India, hence the process may contain subjective bias. Further, two construction project cases were selected by authors in the study that originate from India.Practical implicationsThe study has implications for the project executors (contractors) as well as for project owners. The contractors must maintain healthy relations with all the stakeholders in a project like a client, suppliers, architects, etc. They must develop systems that are people-friendly to avoid the problems of time and cost overruns in projects. The owners must also maintain healthy relations. This can result in a win-win situation for both parties and can lead to superior project performance.Originality/valueThe study develops and empirically tests two conceptual models that explain the interrelations of knowledge assets and how it benefits the construction project performance in India. Therefore, the generalization of the results is difficult; however, the results can be replicated in projects with similar settings.

“…The success or failure of a project is measured by the success criteria. The factors that make up the success criteria are usually referred to as key performance indicators [31,35,49]. Time, cost, and quality are three main factors for the success of every project [31,35,[50][51][52][53].…”

The purpose of this study is to find numerous key performance indicators for measuring real estate project success. A Systematic literature review was adopted to achieve the research objective. The main objective of a systematic literature review is to identify, evaluate, and synthesize existing research. A total number of "82" papers from ABDC journals and other journals and conference papers, including thesis, book chapters, were used to identify all the success factors. The study reveals that most of the previous studies have considered three-factor cost, quality, and time, but a few factors have taken other success factors such as budget, schedule, client satisfaction, project manager competence. So there is a dire need to explore additional determinants as the real estate project success is influenced by several other variables. After the systematic literature review there are many other performance indicators such as customer satisfaction, budget, manager qualification and schedule are becoming important for good performance of construction project. The findings of the study have numerous suggestions and these implications are not only for the educational area but also for the construction sector. The study provides a direction for construction organizations and the researcher's future studies.
