Abstract

Rural development projects are essential as a catalyst for balanced development between urban and rural areas as well as tools for enhancing the living standard of rural poor. This study focuses on the identification of factors that influence the governance practices in a rural road project in Malaysia. A single case study was conducted from the perspective of a stewardship theoretical lens on a rural road project in East Malaysia, and multiple sources of evidence were used for data collection. The study discovered four (4) main factors namely intrinsic motivation, altruistic empathy, effective leadership, and shared vision that influence project governance practices in this project. Thus, this article contributes towards a better understanding of the interplay of these motivating factors, which drives public officials in different project actors for effective delivery in this project context. The findings of the study are limited to the utilization of a single case study related to the rural road project and its contexts.

影响农村发展项目治理实践的因素:以马来西亚农村公路项目为例

农村发展项目作为促进城乡地区平衡发展的催化剂和提高农村穷人生活水平的工具是必不可少的。本研究的重点是确定影响马来西亚农村道路项目治理实践的因素。从管理理论角度对东马来西亚农村道路项目进行了单一案例研究，并使用了多种证据来源进行数据收集。研究发现了影响项目治理实践的四(4)个主要因素，即内在动机、利他共情、有效领导和共同愿景。因此，本文有助于更好地理解这些激励因素的相互作用，这些因素推动不同项目参与者的政府官员在该项目背景下有效地交付。该研究的结果仅限于利用与农村道路项目及其背景有关的单一案例研究。
