Abstract

Purpose

Based on the social exchange theory, the aim of the present study is to examine the effects, both direct and indirect (through sustainability-oriented innovative behaviors [SIBs]), of sustainable project leadership (SPL) on sustainable project performance (SPP). Project management approaches (PMAs) (traditional, hybrid and agile) were examined as conditional factors in the “SPL–SIBs” relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The study employs structural equation modeling based on data collected from 197 software engineering project team members working in the financial industry in Poland.

Findings

The study revealed that SPL significantly, positively affected SPP. It also provided evidence for the significant mediating impact of SIBs in the relationship between SPL and SPP and the conditional effect of agile and hybrid PMAs on the “SPL–SIBs” relationship.

Originality/value

The novelty of this work lies in introducing sustainable leadership into project management research, proposing and testing a unique and complex research framework, designing valid scales for measuring SPL and SPP, and suggesting many theoretical and empirical implications.

项目管理方法在可持续发展中的联系：作为波兰金融业机制的创新行为

目的基于社会交换理论，本研究旨在探讨可持续项目领导力（SPL）对可持续项目绩效（SPP）的直接和间接影响（通过以可持续性为导向的创新行为 [SIBs]）。项目管理方法（PMAs）（传统、混合和敏捷）作为 "SPL-SIBs "关系中的条件因素进行了研究。研究结果研究发现，SPL 对 SPP 有显著的正向影响。原创性/价值这项工作的创新之处在于将可持续领导力引入项目管理研究，提出并测试了一个独特而复杂的研究框架，设计了有效的量表来测量 SPL 和 SPP，并提出了许多理论和实证意义。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Managing Projects in Business seeks to advance the theory, research and practice of all aspects of project management. IJMPB is looking for top quality theoretical and empirical research with the aims of: promoting the understanding of project management and; encouraging the publication of novel project management insights using multidisciplinary approaches rooted in social sciences. The journal provides a much-needed resource involved in project management by exploring new avenues not often addressed in the field of project management.
