“…Moreover, TFTL covers numerous aspects of the organization, i.e., triggering motivation intrinsically, developing skills, increasing moral standards, initiating changes, increasing maturity, and creating a supportive climate for PS (Imran et al, 2019;Zaman et al, 2019). The third hypothesis (H3) of this study predicted that TC moderates the relationship between TFTL and PS, and the results of this study provide full support to H3 as there is a moderation of TC in the relationship between TFTL and PS.…”

Purpose-The present study investigates the indirect impact of leader-member exchange between team-focus transformational leadership – project success relationship. Furthermore, this study also examines the moderation of team cohesiveness between team-focus transformational leadership – leader-member exchange relationship and between leader-member exchange – project success relationship. Design/methodology/Approach-In two phases, permanent employees of construction firms (from Lahore and Faisalabad) participate in the data collection survey. Moreover, the data was evaluated through different statistical analysis techniques using SPSS and Smart-PLS statistical software. Results-This study’s results provide support to the hypothesized relationships, i.e., the direct positive impact of team-focus transformational leadership on project success, the intervening effect of leader-member exchange between the relationship of team-focus transformational leadership and moderating role of team cohesiveness between team-focus transformational leadership – leader-member exchange relationship and between leader-member exchange – project success relationship. Implications-The study's findings theoretically and empirically contributed to the literature on leadership, organizational behavior, and project management by highlighting the importance of leader-member exchange as an intervening mechanism and team cohesiveness as a moderator for the success of the projects, especially in the construction industry of a developing economy.

“…Project success is described as "balancing the difficult criteria for project scope, cost, and quality while also fulfilling the interests and wishes of project stakeholders" (PMI, 2008, p. 9). Numerous leadership styles have been researched in relation to success of project (Ahmed & Lodhi, 2021;Ellahi et al, 2022;Fareed & Su, 2021;Harwardt, 2020;Imam & Zaheer, 2021;Iqbal et al, 2019;Kaminsky, 2012;Majeed, Kayani & Haider, 2021;Maqbool et al, 2017;Mir, Rafique & Mubarak, 2021;Prabhakar, 2005;Rogo, Rarasati & Gumuruh, 2020). However, recent years have witnessed an increase of interest in investigating leaders' negative behaviors (Raja, Haq, De Clercq, & Azeem, 2019;Tepper et al, 2009).…”

Drawing on affective event theory, the current research intends to examine the link amongst despotic leadership, project success, psychological empowerment and psychological safety. A total of 706 supervisors and their staff of three project-based information technology (IT) companies located in Lahore took part in a time-lagged survey. The subjects of the study were selected through convenience sampling procedure. The theorized relationships were analyzed utilizing structural equation modeling. Findings uncovered that despotic leadership significantly affected project success. Furthermore, psychological empowerment mediated the association of despotic leadership and project success. However, the mediation of psychological safety was not significant. The research implications are deliberated.

“…According to Salovey and Mayer (1990), behavioral manifestations of high EI people include demonstrations of care and support, individualized consideration, empathy and respect, which are highly transformational. By implementing transformational natural behaviors, PMs inspire team members to keep common goals, create a collaborative atmosphere, promote team cohesiveness and achieve project success (Imran et al , 2019).…”

Purpose A project manager’s (PM) emotional intelligence (EI) is essential for project performance (PP). However, the cause and effect and the potential moderators of the relationship between EI and PP remain disputed. Some scholars found a positive association between PMs’ EI and project outcomes, while some other studies showed non or negative relation. This paper aims to find the relationship between PMs’ EI and PP and the factors that influence this relationship based on diverse prior research. Design/methodology/approach This paper conducts a meta-analysis of 5,229 observations based on 24 independent studies from 1990 to 2021. Findings Results show that PMs’ EI has a significant positive influence on PP, and the project complexity and measurement of PP are two critical moderators explaining inconsistencies in existing research. Practical implications The current study proposes suggestions for construction companies on PMs’ selection and training. This study also offers suggestions for PMs in management practice. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore the inconsistencies in prior research results on the relationship between PMs’ EI and PP at the meta-analytic level. This research extends the current literature by revealing the factors leading to existing consistencies that are not explored before. This study implies that the meta-analysis method could help reach a balanced conclusion based on inconsistent results.
