Impact of critical success factors and supportive leadership on sustainable success of renewable energy projects: : Empirical evidence from Pakistan / Zaman, Shah   Journal Article
Zaman, Shah Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This study aims to investigate the relationship between critical success factors and sustainable project success of renewable energy projects of Pakistan. In this study, supportive leadership intervenes between critical success factors and sustainable project success. The study adopts a quantitative research approach using survey data from the project managers, project team leaders, and project staff of renewable energy projects. A questionnaire survey approach is used to collect data. For data analysis, we used the partial least square structural equation modeling through SmartPLS 3.2.2. The outcomes indicate that in the direct relationship, organizational, communication, and technical factors positively and significantly affect the sustainable project success, while team factors show insignificant relationships with sustainable project success. Moreover, organizational, team, and communication factors positively and significantly affect supportive leadership, while technical factors have established an insignificant relationship with supportive leadership. Besides, supportive leadership also positively and significantly impacts sustainable project success. The outcomes also show that supportive leadership positively and significantly mediates between organizational, team and communication factors and sustainable project success. Meanwhile, supportive leadership negatively and insignificantly mediates between technical factors and sustainable project success. The concluding remarks also discussed the practical implications, limitations, and future research directions.

Summary/Abstract With rapid social development and large-scale construction of infrastructure in China, construction projects have become one of the driving forces for the national economy, whose energy consumption, environmental emissions, and social impacts are significant. To completely understand the role of construction projects in Chinese society, this study developed input-output life-cycle assessment models based on 2002, 2005, and 2007 economic benchmarks. Inventory indicators included 10 types of energy, 7 kinds of environmental emissions, and 7 kinds of social impacts. Results show that embodied energy of construction projects in China accounts for 25-30% of total energy consumption; embodied SO2 emissions are being controlled, and the intensities of embodied NOx and CO2 have been reduced. However, given that the construction sector related employment is 17% of the total employment in China, the accidents and fatalities related to the construction sector are significant and represent approximately 50% of the national total. The embodied human and capital investments in science and technology (ST) increased from 2002 to 2007. The embodied full time equivalent (FTE) of each ST person also increased while the personal ST funding and intramural expenditures decreased. This might result from the time lag between RD activities and large-scale implementation.
