“…In addition, the appointment of the project manager will influence the success or failure of the project. Therefore, a successful project consultant should perform several roles and responsibilities at the same time, and play a vital role in all stages of the construction project (the initial stage, design stage, construction stage, pre-construction stage, and post-construction stage) [24].…”

As discovered, today's Rwandan construction industry is developing day by day, which plays a very important role in the country's economic growth. In the construction industry, project consultants play a very significant role in providing services for such projects. The project consultants provide services from the beginning of the project to the completion of the project. Using project consultants is very useful for construction projects because it can ameliorate project efficiency and effectiveness. The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between project consultants' performance and project success in the Rwandan construction industry. The data used in this study were obtained from primary and secondary sources. The secondary data was attained through an elaborated literature review of various books, articles, and papers related to this research to outlining and describing the chief ideas of this research title. The primary data was compiled through a questionnaire survey that was directed to 110 selected professionals in the construction projects in Rwanda to collect data from the site for statistical analysis of the research to test the hypothesis. However, a total of 90 usable responses were received within the scheduled period representing the response rate of 81.82%, which is likely to be representative and acceptable. Data collected from the questionnaire surveys were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS), excel spreadsheets, and Relative Importance Index (RII), which provide more merit presentations. The survey results show that even if there are many obstacles in the use of project consultants in the Rwandan construction industry such as lack of knowledge and practice in project consulting, lack of well-trained project consulting professionals, lack of training opportunities in project consulting, lack of knowledge

“…Extant literature advocates the importance of the project manager and his strong role in leading the project to success. Further, Zulkiffli and Lattifi (2019) indicated that project managers played a vital role in sustainable building projects by integrating sustainability into their practices. In all phases of sustainable construction projects, the role of project manager is important, but especially in the pre-construction phase when the greatest challenges that require their involvement are present.…”

Goal: This study seeks to examine project success in relation to project managers' factors. Pertaining to research questions, we highlighted: "do project manager's technical, conceptual, political and human skills are significantly related to project success?, and does project manager's age play a significant role in achieving project success? Design / Methodology / Approach: This research employed a quantitative research method using survey questionnaires to collect data from 400 project managers working in five well-known construction companies in Cairo, Egypt. Descriptive statistics using Relative Importance Index (RII) were employed to rank the dimensions of project manager's skills: conceptual, technical, human and political skills; and project success dimensions: cost, schedule and quality. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify the impact of project managers' skills on project success while simple linear regression was used to examine the relationship between project manager's age and project success Results: The results of RII revealed that project managers maintain a competitive level of technical, conceptual, political and human skills, and emphasize on specific aspects of cost, schedule, and quality dimensions of project success. The regression analysis revealed that 49.2% of the explained variation in project success can be accounted for technical, political, human and conceptual skills at coefficient of determination values of 0.611, 0.506, 0.431 and 0.407 respectively while the project manager's age had no association with project success with a P value 0.694 at alpha level of 0.05. Limitations of the investigation:Generalizing research findings might be challenged because sample size was randomly selected due lack of identifying the exact size target population. Practical implications:The managerial implication of this study lies in the need for construction companies not to consider project manager's age as a significant factor for project success, instead they need to ensure that project managers possess a competitive level of conceptual, technical, political and human skills.Originality / Value: Pertaining to contribution to academia, this research argues that project success subject to a set of comprehensive set of project managerial skills namely conceptual, technical, political and human. Further, it is essential to distinguish between project manager's age and experience and not to consider project manager's age as a determinant of a project success.

A project manager is a crucial factor of a project's success, especially in sustainable construction projects. Their role as a leader is also observable with regard to achieving sustainability objectives in sustainable construction projects. In contrast to conventional projects, sustainable construction projects face more nuanced issues. The influence of leadership skills of the project managers is therefore becoming essential for the success of sustainable construction projects. This study examines the level of understanding of leadership skills among project managers in sustainable construction projects and determines the correlation between their experience and understanding of leadership skills. A questionnaire survey was carried out among 153 project managers with experience in the management of sustainable construction projects in Malaysia. The IBM SPSS software version 24 was used to perform a descriptive statistic, a normality test, and a Spearman's correlation test on the data collected. The results indicate a very high level of understanding among project managers regarding leadership skills in sustainable construction projects. Apart from that, there is a positive correlation between years of experience in sustainable construction projects and the level of understanding of leadership skills among project managers in sustainable construction projects. The findings of this research will serve as an avenue for future researchers to identify the necessary leadership skills for project managers to manage sustainable construction projects effectively.
