“…Furthermore, the available technologies permitted the management of multinational, cross-industrial, and large-scale projects. This and the strain on today's businesses to produce success soon contributed to the turn of PM into the modern industry (Mbiru et al, 2020;Joyce, 2016).…”

Most projects fail due to information overload. However, the project management information system (PMIS) and other technological support help the project managers (PM) make better decisions. This study looks at the issues of overloaded project information in Omani construction companies that the project managers must deal with. The study was based on quantitative data. The data is based on a survey through a structured questionnaire adopted from previous studies. The target population was the project managers (PMs) leading different construction companies in Oman, and about 296 PMs were approached. Two-stage sampling approach was adopted to collect the data and use SPSS software to analyse the data. The findings indicated that project managers can benefit from using a project management information system (PMIS), and project information overload had no adverse effects. The information system for project management favourably influences decisions. This research benefits project managers, especially those handling complex construction projects. Multiple factors affect the decision-making process in construction companies; therefore, the research recommends exploring the contextual factors regarding the construction industry in Oman and assessing their impact on decision-making processes and project performance.

“…Zaman and co-authors [41] found that a supportive leadership style might increase the chances for sustainable project success. At the same time, these authors have pointed out that, although project management mostly relies on those tools and techniques which are identified by frameworks or standards, sustainability deeply enhances them [42][43][44][45]. These authors emphasized that a sustainability-oriented attitude (or capability elements related to it) is crucial to achieving sustainable project success.…”

Both sustainability and strategic goals are realized in the course of implementing projects and in this way, projects are crucial for companies. Despite the growing importance of projects and the vast resources allocated to them, the success rates achieved by these projects are still considered low. Numerous reasons have been identified in the literature for why a project might succeed or fail, and it has also been revealed that a competent project manager is a key factor in this process. However, papers have mainly focused on analyzing the required competencies in general, while the sector involved is rarely considered. Thus, this paper investigates, within an exploratory framework, the success and failure rates of projects and project management competencies in Hungarian public- and private-sector organizations by using the Mann–Whitney test. Based on the results, the authors reject the idea that public-sector organizations perform better than those in the private sector, but the analysis of the data also revealed that there were differences in the perceived importance of skills in the two sectors. Customer orientation and business acumen were considered significantly more important in the private sector than in the public sector, based on the sample available. This study also revealed possible correlations among the knowledge areas and skills required. In addition to contributions to the understanding of project success, this paper can also help to improve the project management frameworks applied in public and private companies. Furthermore, the findings can be adapted for projects that require a special attribute, such as sustainability.
