Previously, leadership, project planning, and a business-driven strategy were not emphasized as predictors of project performance. There was no special study undertaken to analyze the effect of project strategic operation on project performance of E-Mobility in Rwanda. This study determined the impact of leadership on the performance of an e-mobility project in Rwanda, investigate the impact of project planning on the performance of an e-mobility project in Rwanda, and evaluate the impact of a business-driven strategy on the performance of an e-mobility project in Rwanda. This study directed by three theoretical literature which are the innovation theory, the theory of attribution and theory of change.  The targeted population was 145 people, including project managers, stakeholders, and beneficiaries involved in the implementation of Rwanda's e-mobility initiative. The Solvin formula used to calculate the sample size. When this formula is applied to the aforementioned population, the researcher obtains a sample size of 107. For this study, stratified sampling was used, which involves separating the entire population into three strata (Project Managers, Stakeholders, and Vehicle Owners in an E-Mobility Project), then randomly selecting the final subjects proportionally from each stratum. Therefore, this research employed basic random sampling, where each group had an equal probability of being selected. Documents including books and reports, as well as in-depth interviews and questionnaires, were used to compile information for this research. Questionnaires were used to gather, process, analyze, and interpret the data. There was a somewhat favorable relationship between leadership and project success (r = 0.641), with a significance level of 0.000. There is a very significant positive relationship between project planning and project success (r = 0.762, p= 0.000). There is a statistically significant positive relationship between using a business-driven strategy and the success of a project (r = 0.728, p= 0.000). The results suggest that all three independent variables are important of project strategic operation on project performance for the e-mobility project in Rwanda, with project planning having the strongest correlation with performance.

The purpose of this study was to enhance project management practices through an exploratory factor analysis of safety performance within this sector. This research aimed to identify the underlying factors that contribute to safety outcomes and to provide a data-driven foundation for improving safety measures. Addressing the problem of frequent construction accidents and the high rate of safety incidents, this study hypothesized that a multifaceted approach to safety analysis would reveal complex interdependencies affecting worker safety. The methodology involved a comprehensive review of incident reports and safety records from various construction projects in Dubai over the past five years, coupled with surveys and interviews with industry professionals. The data underwent exploratory factor analysis to ascertain the primary variables impacting safety performance. Findings indicated that key factors affecting safety included worker training, communication efficacy, adherence to safety protocols, and the use of protective equipment. Surprisingly, statistical analysis revealed that projects with high safety investments did not always correlate with lower incident rates, suggesting the importance of qualitative factors over mere financial commitment. The study concludes that enhancing safety performance in Dubai’s construction industry requires a holistic approach that goes beyond financial investment in safety. Recommendations include implementing regular, targeted training programs, improving on-site communication channels, strict enforcement of safety protocols, and fostering a safety-centric organizational culture. In light of these conclusions, the study advocates for policy revisions at the regulatory level and a shift in the industry’s safety paradigm. The recommended strategic changes aim to not only mitigate the risks inherent in the construction industry but also to enhance the overall management of construction projects in the dynamic landscape of Dubai.
