dc.description.abstractThe study explores the role of collaborative leadership in driving the success of project management within the context of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), an international non-governmental organization (INGO). The research employed an explanatory research design through a survey questionnaire, utilizing a quantitative approach to analyze the effect of collaborative leadership on project management success. Primary data was collected from 101 permanent staff members of AFSC working in multiple countries and U.S. cities, representing a 96.2% response rate. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to examine the relationships between the dimensions of collaborative leadership (shared decision-making, collaboration, empowerment, and flexibility & adaptability) and project success. The findings reveal generally positive perceptions of collaborative leadership practices and project success within AFSC. It revealed that collaborative leadership practices have a significant positive influence on project management success within AFSC. The regression model explained 86.8% of the variance in project success, indicating a strong fit. The study provides valuable insights for organizational management and strategic decision-making within AFSC, highlighting the importance of fostering a culture of collaboration, shared decision-making, empowerment, and adaptability to maximize project success and achieve organizational goals. Overall, the study contributes to the understanding of how collaborative leadership can drive project success in non-profit organizations like AFSC.
