The Influence Path of Project Manager Competency on the Performance of Area Development Projects

In this paper, the effective paths to improve area development project performance are explored by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between project manager competency and area development project performance. A conceptual model consisting of seven research variables and 14 hypothetical paths was developed through a questionnaire survey of 421 civil engineering project managers with experience in Sichuan regional development. Subsequently, hypothesis testing was conducted using structural equation modelling, and prior constructs leading to high performance were investigated through fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis.
