Abstract
This study examined the mediating role of project team resilience between Agile practices, socio cognitive spaces and project success among road construction projects in Uganda. The objectives
of the study were to examine the relationship between agile practices and project success, to examine the relationship between agile practices and Project Team Resilience, to examine the
association between Project Team Resilience and Project success, to examine the mediating role of Project Team Resilience in the relationship between Agile Practices, and Project Success, to
examine the relationship between socio-cognitive space and Project success, to examine the mediating role of Project Team Resilience in the relationship between socio- cognitive space and Project Success
The study was based on a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. Data was analyzedusing ordinary partial least squares regression through SmartPLS version 3.3.3, the authors testedthe study hypotheses based on survey data collected from respondents of 44 completed road projects selected randomly to complete a self-administered questionnaire. The results indicate that Agile practice and socio-cognitive space have a significant influence on project success. The results also show that project team resilience partially mediates the relationship between Agile practices, socio- cognitive space and project success. The major limitation of the study is that the authors have used cross-sectional data to test these research hypotheses. However, this was minimised following Guide and Ketokivi’s (2015) recommendation on how to address the limitations of cross sectional data by targeting key respondents with the highest level of expertise required to answer the questionnaire. To achieve road constructions project success, Project managers should capitalize on Agile practices, creating socio-cognitive space to empower employees, empathizing mastery approaches, social capital and collective efficacy which are useful in achieving project success.
Key words: Agile practices, socio-cognitive space. Project team resilience, project success.
