Rapidly developing areas like Kiambu County constantly struggle with strained water resources. Suitable project management approaches can help increase the sustainability of water projects in such areas. This study aimed at investigating effect of a range of project management approaches, such as stakeholder engagement, resource allocation, management commitment, and digital inclusion on the sustainability of projects toward more sustainable outcomes in Kiambu County. Some of the theories utilized in this research are the stakeholder theory, resource dependence theory, Lewin's theory of change, and the technology acceptance model. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population constituted about 20 projects and 200 participants or members or employees comprising team leaders, project managers, community representatives, and managers. The sample size was 105 respondents drawn using stratified random sampling. The findings established that stakeholder involvement significantly influences project sustainability. Additionally, Resource Allocation has a substantial impact on Project Sustainability. Furthermore, there was evidence of a substantial impact of digital inclusion on project sustainability. The final factor influencing project sustainability is management commitment. The study concludes that by involving every stakeholder in decision-making processes, cost-sharing, and process monitoring will increase the sustainability of a project. There is need for employment of suitable and competent human resources, a budget that has been approved by all stakeholders. Project requirements must be properly defined to produce a quantifiable result. Furthermore, firms can make sustainable concepts a reality by utilizing digital mapping, social media, and information management. Finally, aspects including expertise, change management, and project management training are crucial for projects to succeed. The devotion of the management team is one of the most crucial elements of any high-quality project management. The study recommends that stakeholder involvement is essential for the success of any water project. They must participate specifically in the project 's decision-making, cost-sharing, monitoring, and assessment processes.

Some researches need data homogeneity. The dispersion of data causes research towards an absurd direction. The outlier makes unrealistic homogeneity. The research can reject the extreme data as outlier to estimate trimmed arithmetic mean. Because of the wide data dispersion, it will fail to identify the outliers. The study will evaluate the confidence interval and compare it with the acceptance tolerance. There are three types of invalidity of data gathering: outliers, too wide dispersion, distracted central tendency.

BackgroundBecause the fulfillment of basic/fundamental psychological needs affects people’s motivation and well-being, measuring the degree to which these needs are met is of interest to researchers across various domains. Although numerous self-assessment tools have been developed, no recent comprehensive reviews exist, hindering cumulative scientific progress. The present systematic review aimed to identify and analyze the main approaches to developing self-report scales for assessing basic/fundamental psychological need fulfillment. The objective is to inform readers interested in selecting instruments for their studies and those intending to develop new scales.MethodsFollowing PRISMA, we conducted a search of Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ProQuest in August 2023. The following information was extracted from eligible studies: Scale name, abbreviation, theoretical basis, application domain, final scale construction, scale development and validation methodology, and citation count.ResultsOur search identified 32 primary studies, in which 31 original scales were developed and validated, and 89 secondary studies that aimed to modify these original scales. The predominant theoretical basis was Self-Determination Theory, although eight scales were based on alternative need typologies. The scales were either domain-general or specific to contexts such as work, education, or exercise/sports contexts. While most were designed to measure need satisfaction, some also addressed need support, frustration, and thwarting.ConclusionDespite significant efforts in developing, adapting, and applying scales to measure need fulfillment, we found several issues resulting from diverse perspectives on conceptualizing psychological needs and need typologies, discordant approaches in developing and validating measures, and other inconsistencies that should be acknowledged and addressed in future research.
