In the context of the public sector, projects are implemented to fulfil the government's social responsibility to ensure more balanced growth with equity in a developing country. Even though the country has entered the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), there are still inefficiencies in the financial and physical performance of public projects due to the weaknesses at the project planning stage. This study examines the influence of human/personnel, project management, technical, and organisational factors on project planning for physical projects in Sabah. This study utilised a quantitative method using a questionnaire and the respondents involved 273 officers from the Management and Professional group (Grades 41- 54) at the Federal Government and Sabah State Government levels. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis. The study found that the factors influencing project planning are at a very agreeable level of 4.08 mean (81.50%) which explains that these four factors greatly influence the planning of a project. The organisational factor is the most dominant factor, with the highest mean of 4.35 (86.8%). Therefore, it can be concluded that the top management of the Ministry/Agency needs to enhance support and commitment to the project team where this support can give a positive signal to the parties involved with the project.

“…In terms of projects, a project manager needs to have a certain set of competencies that will allow them to plan and execute projects effectively. Moreover, it is suggested that not only the project manager, but also the whole project team, must have a certain level of competency in order to complete the project [72]. Furthermore, it is argued in the literature that competency and personality traits potentially produce significant results in projects [73].…”

Even though the world has progressed exponentially, the core reasons for the failure of many public sector projects remain the same, i.e., the poor planning and competency of a project manager. Therefore, it becomes essential even in the contemporary world to assess and evaluate a model that determines the effect of planning and the project manager’s competency on the success of public sector projects. Moreover, the present study aims to assess the role of project planning and the project manager’s competency in project success in the context of project management methodology defined by the Project Management Institute. In the current survey-based study, a sample of 260 project engineers, from the public sector organizations operating in Balochistan, that were engaged in projects was taken in order to understand the relationship between the constructs. Quantitative data were collected to address the proposed hypotheses using the partial least squares structural equation modeling technique. It was inferred from the findings that planning and competency have a significant positive impact on the success of public sector projects. Among the two, it was determined that planning for public sector projects has a greater role in the success of projects. Therefore, it is concluded based on the results of the study that in future, due consideration should be given to planning and the abilities of a project manager.

In this work, the mathematical competence of a future technical specialist is understood as the ability to use their mathematical knowledge in solving practical and theoretical problems that arise in their professional activities, expressing both fundamental mathematical knowledge and unified personal knowledge based on practical skills. The article goals, objectives, content, forms and methods are an integral system aimed at the formation of mathematical competence in University students, determined by the professional and creative training of future specialists. The analysis of ways to achieve the quality of mathematical training, in particular, ways to form mathematical competencies, taking into account the evolution of second-and third-generation standards, shows that these ways have changed significantly. The concept of competence includes a person's possession of appropriate competence, attitude to the subject of activity. Several researchers noted that concept of competence is close to the concept of readiness. Source competence is a set of general methods of action that allow a person to understand the situation, achieve results in personal and professional life in the context of specific professional and social partnerships. Preparation is a complex psychological structure in addition to the necessary knowledge, skills, abilities, and adequate requirements.
