Abstract

The purpose of this research is to focus on project management behaviours and how they affect project success in the support industry. It will help the business to better understand the impact project managers have on the outcomes of initiatives and how to change or migrate. Although there are a few methods that could have been used to muster the data required for this research, a questionnaire has been used. This was sent both as an online link and as a document for participants who were not able to access it from the link. Careful consideration was taken in building the questionnaire to ensure that it was engaging and gave participants an interactive experience. This was helpful in sourcing an increased and fair number of responses. By examining whether a questionnaire addresses the items it claims to be measuring, its validity can be ascertained. Respondents were permitted face-to-face time to maximise the accruing of answers that may have been left out of the questionnaire, and to ascertain any further questions they may have had. There is evidence to suggest that project leadership behaviours affect how well projects are fulfilled. The project team is anchored by the behaviours of the project leader. This research work highlights the significance of comprehending project leadership behaviours and the potential effects they may have on time and successful completion of each project. The ability of the project leaders to recognise different project leadership behaviours and know when to use them is crucial. They must also be aware that these may change depending on the circumstances, so it is advisable to evaluate the difficulties the project team is experiencing and to have the confidence to recognise when it is time to change their leadership style in a manner that will be advantageous to the team.
