Abstract

The primary purpose of the present study is to explore the effect of the perceived authentic leadership of project manager on project success. Furthermore, the present study investigated the role of perceived psychological capital and perceived psychological empowerment as intervening mechanisms. A time-lagged design was used to obtain individual responses from employees working for project-based organisations in Pakistan. Data was collected through adopted questionnaires from 271 employees about the variable of interest. Moreover, then different tests are performed for model fitness, correlation, and drawing inferences. The current study finds out that the authenticity of leadership in project-based organisations plays a vital role in the successful completion of projects. Moreover, the result also proves that psychological capital and psychological empowerment significantly mediates the relationship between authentic leadership and project success. The present study was carried out in two-time lags, multiple time lags are desirable. Furthermore, the present study is limited to the context of Pakistan, cross-cultural studies are proposed. Scholars are encouraged to study the different style of leadership in the project-based organisation to find out critical success factors.

巴基斯坦情境下真实领导对项目成功的影响:心理资本和心理授权的解释机制

本研究的主要目的是探讨项目经理真实领导力感知对项目成功的影响。此外，本研究还探讨了感知心理资本和感知心理授权作为干预机制的作用。时间滞后设计用于获取巴基斯坦项目组织员工的个人回答。通过对271名员工进行问卷调查，收集关于兴趣变量的数据。此外，还对模型适应度、相关性和绘图推论进行了不同的检验。本研究发现，在项目型组织中，领导的真实性对项目的成功完成起着至关重要的作用。此外，研究结果还证明心理资本和心理授权在真实领导与项目成功的关系中起着显著的中介作用。本研究是在两时间滞后的情况下进行的，多时间滞后是可取的。此外，本研究仅限于巴基斯坦的背景下，建议进行跨文化研究。鼓励学者研究项目型组织的不同领导风格，找出关键的成功因素。
