“…First, prior studies have reported a positive relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and performance (e.g. Lu et al, 2011;Mir and Rezania, 2022;Rezania et al, 2016). Our results reaffirmed this relationship in the context of IT projects.…”

“…Lu et al (2011) explored the moderating effect of interactive use of project MCS on the impact of knowledge management on marketing project performance. In the context of IT projects, a conditional positive relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and IT project performance has been observed (Mir and Rezania, 2022;Sakka et al, 2013), mediated by the stakeholder analysis effectiveness. In line with these findings, we hypothesize that:…”

“…, 2018). They are designed to decrease the information processing needs (Galbraith, 1974; Mir and Rezania, 2021, 2022) and their execution requires effective coordination and integration of knowledge of project team members (Tiwana and Mclean, 2005). Hence, projects can be conceptualized as temporary learning organizations with their unique performance management challenges.…”

PurposeThis study aims to understand how project leaders' interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managers working in Canadian and USA-based organizations. A moderated mediation model was analysed by hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement modelling using PLS-SEM.FindingsResults suggest that the leader's interactive use of project MCS is associated with IT project performance, and this relationship is partially mediated by team learning behaviour. In addition, the relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and team learning behaviour is moderated by the organization's emphasis on process accountability, with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on the use of controls in the IT project-based business environments by explaining how the project leader's style of use of controls influences project team learning behaviour that in turn impacts project performance. Additionally, this study extends the project governance and accountability literature by identifying and empirically examining how the perceptions of project leader's institutionalized organizational accountability arrangements moderate the impact of the interactive use of control systems on team learning behaviour. A methodological contribution of the study is the scale development to measure leader's perceptions about the organization's emphasis on process accountability.

“…The regression model showed that stakeholders' analysis and engagement had a positive significant influence on the level of project completion and project performance. Mir and Rezania (2022) study focused from interactive control to IT project performance: examining the mediating role of stakeholder analysis effectiveness. Partial least square-structural equation modelling analysis was conducted on the cross-sectional questionnaire data collected from 109 information technology (IT) projects.…”

This study investigated the influence of stakeholder participation on the performance of irrigation projects in Garissa County, Kenya. The study was guide by stakeholder theory, realistic evaluation theory and systems theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The study targeted irrigation projects in Garissa County, Kenya. The targeted respondents were 85 respondents comprising of 10 project managers and 75 project team members. A census of 85 respondents was carried out. Questionnaires were used for the purpose of collecting primary data. The study conducted a multiple regression analysis to test the relationship between independent variables and dependent variable. The study found that stakeholder analysis, stakeholder engagement, stakeholder motivation, stakeholder monitoring and evaluation and had a positive significant influence on the performance of irrigation projects in Garissa County, Kenya. The study concluded that a stakeholder analysis helps an organization to gain more support and resources, increase project visibility, especially to executive stakeholders, prevent costly roadblocks later in the project cycle, communicate through the right channels at the right time and share the right level of information with the stakeholders. Engaging with different perspectives provides opportunities for learning and potentially changing the approach to ensure it fits the needs of stakeholders. Stakeholders with a high need for affiliation are moved to act because of their positive interest in and concern for others. Stakeholders play a critical role in the success of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes in development programs and policies. The study recommended that the organization should make sure to account for both internal and external stakeholders and create a clear stakeholder map that outlines each stakeholder's influence-interest level. The organization should analyse and categorize all your stakeholders using a mapping chart to manage how, where and when it should communicate with them. The organization should track the stakeholders so as to aware of the different groups. Project managers must ensure that stakeholders remain actively engaged to help garner a successful project outcome.
