“…It requires responsibility to determine which sustainability considerations are relevant to the particular situation. These functions should therefore be used to enhance sustainability, both in projects and within the organization [34]. We believe, regardless of project and client, that project managers have the necessary skills to integrate sustainability into projects when the project has an internal or external focus.…”

“…The project manager is responsible for raising sustainability concerns and customer sustainability solutions, and therefore needs to adopt a comprehensive project approach, combine external and external approaches. Furthermore, Gilbert Silvius and Melvin R. Weber et al, also notes that the promotion of sustainability decisions and actions is an individual responsibility, whether or not clients explicitly request sustainability inclusion in the project [33,34]. Table 1 indicates the major literature and variables findings.…”

“…We have adopted a general management contingency framework for our current research, but this also applies to project management. A survey on the categorization framework for the project is in line with the contingency selection method, underlining the principle that "organizational structure must contribute to the context" [15,[21][22][23][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45].…”

The current study suggests a different and innovative view by testing a unique combination of variables, which are unproven in a single model for the purpose of increasing the ratio of sustainable projects. The project manager can use the model to look their projects and can compose necessary changes for better outcomes. The study objects to postulate the competence breach of project managers with regard to sustainability, and to deliver direction that how to fulfill the research gap. The given work is centered on the result of project supervisor soft capabilities on project sustainability mediated by innovation. To achieve this aim, deductive approach was adopted. The sample size of the study was 242 respondents, and data were collected from software houses. The collected data were then analyzed by doing the structural equation modeling in PLS-SEM in order to examine the relationships. The outcomes demonstrate positive impact of project manager soft competences on project sustainability and mediating impact of innovation among the relationship of project manager soft competences and project sustainability. Innovation is directly linked to project sustainable development, and was accepted, which aligns with the previous studies. This research reflects the role of project manager soft competences on innovation and project sustainability. The study is unique in its scope and implications as the focus is upon empirical investigation of the project manager soft competences and project sustainability in the context of Pakistan.

“…Rubrics are an effective way to evaluate and improve individual performance. To develop our rubric, we conducted a comprehensive review of existing models [9,[28][29][30]. We abstracted characteristics of ideal job candidates through a literature review of model interviews, customer service skills and our prior interviews with 19 youth employers and employment counselors [10].…”

Clinicians should: Coach youth with physical disability on how to "sell" their abilities to potential employers and encourage youth to get involved in volunteer activities and employment readiness training programs. Consider using mock job interviews and other employment role-play exercises as assessment and training tools for youth with physical disabilities. Involve speech pathologists in the development of employment readiness programs that address voice clarity as a potential delivery issue.
