About this title

Synopsis

Nowadays, scholars believe that leadership has positive impacts on project management performance. Project activities include diverse members, with a mix of skills and abilities, which determines the highest level of communication skills among the members in the organization. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the meaning of the national culture based on the Hofstede and Globe model and examine two types of leadership for project management performance, taking into account that the concept of leadership has changed from the past. So, we would like to investigate how the combination of transformational and transactional leadership can improve project management performance. Transformational leadership is about making all project members creative, engaged and full of initiative and the other hand, transactional leadership, by providing a clear strategy can monitor the on-going activities in the project. Furthermore, the project manager needs to become a good leader in order to integrate team members around the defined goals of the project.
