标题：Relationship Between Institutional Competences And Multiple Project Management Success Mediated By Organizational Learning In The Construction Industry In Nepal
摘要：Thousands of projects in Nepal are found chronically mismanaged and marred by excessive delay. Despite giving top priority in budget, policy and procedures, national pride projects are also running at snail’s pace and most of them are encountering cost and time overrun. Implementation delays in public sector projects seem to be common feature and poor site management by contractors due to their excessive overload is causing project delay indicating to the possibility of multiple project management failure due to lack of certain institutional competences. This study is aimed at examining the mediating role of Organizational Learning (OL) on the relationship between Key Institutional Competence Factors (KICFs) of Governance Competence (GC), Management Competence (MC), Organizational Alignment Competence (OAC) and perceived Multiple Project Management Success (MPMS) in the construction industry in Nepal. A quantitative research method using deductive approach was adopted; data were collected from 402 Class A, B and C categories of construction companies registered in Nepal using Closed-EndedQuestionnaire. Respondents were selected using stratified random sampling technique. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and AMOS version 21. Factor analysis, Cronbach’s Alpha reliability test, Confirmatory Factory Analysis were conducted; Construct Reliability, Convergent Validity and Divergent Validity were established. Structural Equation Model was developed and Model fit was obtained for the Mediation Path Model using AMOS before examining direct and indirect effects of mediating variable on the relationship between predictor variables and criterion variable. Findings revealed the significant positive relationship between GC, MC, OAC dimensions of KICF and MPMS; OL is also found to have significant positive relationship with MPMS. Likewise, OL is found mediating in the relationship between GC, MC, OAC dimensions of KICF with MPMS. The findings of this study are expected to add new dimensions to Multiple Project Management Body of Knowledge (MPM BoK).
