Leadership is a wide concept which attracts the interest of most scholars along with different theories from earlies to modern era. This research is an explanatory study which examines the causal effect of leadership style on project success. Since data is a major input in conducting studies, data has been collected from CRS Staff members primarily through questionnaires. The target population of this study are employees of CRS working on projects and sample size taken from this target population is 116. Data is analyzed both descriptively and inferentially using multiple linear regression model through SPSS version 26. Descriptively data has been analyzed trough the value of mean and standard deviation while inferentially it is analyzed using regression model. The regression model shows how Project success can be explained by the given leadership styles. It is also observed that the effect of the variable Transactional Leadership on the success of projects is not statistically significant. The variables Transformational, Participative, Servant and Inclusive leadership styles has been observed in having a statistically significant and positive effect on project success. Hene it is recommended that CRS should give high emphasize and practice more Transformational, Participative, servant and inclusive leadership styles as they have significant and positive effect on the overall success of a project. Additionally for future research it is recommended that researchers need to enhance the number of case studies by including more organizations in this study and using moderators to see the leadership effect on project success in a better way which will enhance generalizability of the study.
