Abstract
Construction projects usually need proper attention in terms of cost, quality, and time which in turn helps project stakeholders achieve the required success. However, the industry is highly characterized by project delay, failure, and abonnements. Studies in the area showed that in Ethiopia close to 93% of the total projects in the country experienced cost overruns and time overruns. Moreover, the industry by itself calls for the participation of more than two stakeholders. The purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of Project Management Information systems (PMIS) on construction project success; a case of Rama Construction Plc. Moreover, the study considered the influence of System quality, Information quality, and Service quality and PMIS use (Planning, Controlling, Monitoring, Evaluating, and reporting) (independent variables) in success of construction project (dependent variable). A descriptive survey was used for conducting the study. Both quantitative and qualitative survey tools were used to collect the data from respondents. The target population of the study was 71 and a census inquiry was conducted through google format questionnaire. Out of which only 88.7 % of the responded questionnaires were analyzed. The validity and reliability of the research instrument were ascertained using the relevant research instruments. Descriptive statistics and Correlation (using Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation) were used to analyze the data and establish the relationship between the dependent variables and the set of independent variables using the SPSS version 28 software. The four predicator variables were found to have a positive correlation with the dependent variable (Project Success). Moreover, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that Information quality and PMIS use significantly associated with project success whereas the other two constructs(System quality and Service quality) were not significantly associated. The research also found that Individual and organization readiness did not have any moderating effects on Project success except the interaction variables of PMIS use and Organizational readiness with sig. value .024 .
