dc.description.abstractThis study examined the relationship between financing approach, resource management, and Perceived Project Success within the context of Uganda's National Road Authority (UNRA). To achieve this, the study was guided by the following research objectives; i.) To examine the relationship between resource management and Perceived project success. ii.) To examine the relationship between resource management and financing approach, iii.) To examine the relationship between financing approach and Perceived project success iv.) To examine the mediation effect of financing approach in the association between resource management and Perceived project success. The study employed the agency theory and to address the research objectives, a cross sectional research design was adopted. From a population of 46 UNRA road projects in greater Kampala, (UNRA Project status report, 2023), the study was guided by the sampling approach suggested by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) and targeted a sample size of 41 projects, finally acquiring usable data from 39 projects. The unit of analysis was the UNRA road projects in greater Kampala covering the geographical locations of Kampala, Mukono and Wakiso districts while the unit of inquiry was the UNRA staff in charge of road construction projects. To acquire data from these project management officials, a research questionnaire was used to collect data. Prior to this, the research instrument was tested for reliability and validity and for this purpose, the Cronbach alpha and the content validity index were employed to test for the measures respectively and both were noted to be acceptable, with values of over 0.700. For instance, the lowest value of the Cronbach alpha was 0.752 while the highest was 0.859. Having collected the data and entered it using SPSS software, the data was then analyzed using the frequency distributions for background characteristics, the correlations to test the relationship between the variables and the regression analysis to test the degree to which the predictors can account for the prediction in the dependent variable. The correlations indicated that there are significant and positive relationships among the study variables while the regression model estimates indicated that both Resource management and Financing are significant predictors of perceived project success and can account for a variance 35.0% in the dependent variable. Further, the mediation tests showed that the Financing approach plays a mediating role in the relationship between the Resource Management and Perceived Project Success. The study raises several recommendations such as the need for recruiting the right persons so as to ensure satisfactory results for the resource management efforts.
