Al-Husseini, A-M (2006) The impact of transformational leadership and empowerment on project management. DM thesis, University of Phoenix, USA.
Abstract
This mixed methods research study used quantitative and qualitative data to determine if transformational leadership competencies and project manager empowerment influenced project completion success rate at a large project management consulting company. Prior research found a significant project completion failure rate for software projects related to time and budget issues. The present findings confirmed the high rate failure and concluded there is a significant relationship between leadership competencies combined with project manager empowerment and increasing completion success rate. This study might contribute to the body of knowledge associated with leadership and empowerment theories as it relates to project management and increasing completion success rate.

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
