Abstract

The existing research has linked the mainstream leadership styles to project success and team building. However, there is a lack of research evidence on how public sector-specific leadership styles influence project success and team building. This research uses social information processing theory to explore the influence of public leadership on project success and team building. The study also explores the fundamental processes by which public leadership engenders project success via the mediating mechanism of team building. Analysis of 436 responses from both public sector projects managers-subordinates dyad showed that public leadership positively relates to project success and team building. The analysis also showed that team building positively influences project success. Moreover, the findings revealed that team building partially mediates the influence of public leadership on project success.
