Patterns of Leadership for Effective Project Management

Organizations are shifting towards project organizations thus creating a need to understand the factors that lead to effective project management. The present study explores effective project management in the context of leadership behaviour (concern for task and people) in more and less global projects. We identify factors based on leadership behaviour and propose a model for effective project management. We use t test to test our hypotheses. Results show that both concern for task and concern for people are equally important for both more global and less global projects. The findings of this study have significant implications for leadership behavior at project management workplace.
