Abstract
The role of team management has a greater impact on the success of project management to achieve project goals beyond the stakeholders’ expectations. Even though it has been given attention in the project organizations, it still requires deepening studies in the field. Therefore, we designed explanatory research to work on the role of team management on the success of project management taking the case of Plan International Ethiopia. After informed consent was obtained from the respondents, Microsoft Form-based questionnaire was shared to collect mixed data. While data analysis and graphical representation were made by SPSS version 20, descriptive (mean and frequency) and inferential (correlation and regression) statistical analyses were performed with the student's t-test at P< 0.05 as statistical significance to determine the frequency of the variables, the relationship between the predictors and dependent variables, and the overall impact of the role of team management on the critical success factors for the success of project management. Having answered the key research questions, the researcher concluded that the sociodemographic characteristics (marital status, previous project management experience, and active project team role), team composition (diversified, action, and teams with knowledge integration), and PM leadership competency (PM leadership style, all types of PM communication channels, PM motivation (building trust, reward, professional development, and realizing specific goals, multiple intelligence, and being an active conflict manager) are the key roles of team management that were significantly impacted the critical success factors for the success of project management (as defined in PMBOK 7) and, consequently, the success of projects. The objectives of the current research were achieved and recommendations were forwarded to PIE, similar Non-Governmental Organizations, and researchers in the project management discipline.
