摘要：This research aims to propose and validate research of a New Framework for integration of the concept of sustainability in projects by investigating the relationship between proj_x0002_ect and sustainability for project success.Integrating sustainability in projects is crucial metric for project success.However,the dearth in literature and the slow pace in emerg?ing literature has left many issues unanswered regarding integration of sustainability in projects and the commitment of project teams to sustainability pillars.Therefore,this article explores the current state of sustainability,its potential weaknesses and therein proposes corrective action for the legitimatization of a New Framework on 'project sustainability’ in an authentic environment.The methodological approach adopted in this research is a pragmatic examination of secondary data collected by the project team dur?ing a one-year period that demonstrates the effects of neglecting proactive management of the three pillars of sustainability resulting in poor project performance in terms of resources and stakeholder resistance,as well as the lessons learned therein.The findings reveals a low degree of commitment by project teams towards sustainability particularly with regard to social and environment pillars,even though the economic pillar has been given much attention,there is still much to be done.Hence,the importance of the pro?posed New Framework for project success.This research concludes and recommends the need to integrate sustainability adequately throughout a project life-cycle for the attain?ment of organizational strategy and satisfying stakeholders’ expectations.However,this can take place with a knowledgeable project management team on sustainability.
