    The Importance of Soft-skills in Project Success in Ethiopia: The case of “Setaweet” Movement
    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-10) Yayne Zenebe; Bantie Workie (PhD)
    This study explores the soft skills required for project success by project managers and team members in “Setaweet,” a feminist activism movement focused on women's empowerment in social, economic, and political sectors. The research employed a mixed approach with a descriptive design to analyze the data collected from primary and secondary sources. This ensured a well-rounded understanding of the important soft skills for project success in Setaweet. The study's results revealed that communication, adaptability/flexibility, and time management are the most vital soft skills for Setaweet. The first two were also determined to correlate most with project success. In conclusion, the study suggests structured programs and practices such as workshops and seminars, coaching and mentoring, team learning, discussions, and assessments during hiring are all crucial in developing, practicing, and maintaining these soft skills. Future studies of these soft skills in other organizations with similar contexts are needed to create a more comprehensive understanding of soft skills that can significantly contribute to any project's success.
