With the evolution of Project Management Knowledge areas, stakeholder management and engagement have become an integral part of Project Management as it imposes great threats and opportunities to a Project.

This study aimed to measure the impact of stakeholder management on project success moderated by the awareness of stakeholder management. The study model has been quantitatively evaluated by collecting data from 300 respondents who belong to some of the major private and government construction firms of Pakistan. Structural equation modelling (SEM) has been applied using Smart PLS software after which it has been concluded that the stakeholder management positively impacts the project success and also affirms the positive moderation of awareness. The study Statistically (though SEM) concludes that on increasing stakeholder management’s Awareness of Project teams there is a positive effect on the relationship between Stakeholder management approach and project success. This result is in-line with the literature discussed in this study, which suggest that to increase the chances of project success in projects, better stakeholder management approach is required.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
