Abstract

If project management capabilities and inventory control are not effectively managed in the context of project complexities, it may lead to delays projects, cost increased and quality minimized that could affect the project's success.  Therefore, study is designed to test the influence of project management capabilities and inventory control on project's success in the construction industry with the moderating effect of project complexities. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey data from construction industry professionals. Data was collected from 400 construction industry employees using a convenient sampling technique. Both SPSS and Smart PLS were used to test the collected data. The analysis reveals that all project management capabilities namely process management, continuous improvement, project training, project management software and knowledge transfer positively and significantly contribute to project success. The study also finds that inventory control significantly enhances project success. Additionally, the moderating effect of project complexity also positively and significantly moderated among project management capabilities, inventory control, and project success. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of investing in effective management practices and inventory control systems to ensure successful project delivery in the construction industry. Moreover, the study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the significant moderating role of project complexity in shaping the relationship between these factors. This research is unique in its examination of the moderating role of project convolution in the relationship between project management capabilities, inventory control, and project success in the construction industry because this perspective is not widely explored in the existing literature.
