| dc.description.abstract | Prior studies demonstrate the importance of project communication management for the success of a project. This study focused on practices of project communication management in ADA water project in Ethiopia. The objectives of this study was to examine the practice of project communication management, and establish a potential relationship between project communication and project performance in water projects of Amhara Development Association in Ethiopia. Explanatory research design and quantitative approach was adopted. Out of a sample size of 214, 175 responded implying 81% of response rate). Primary data were collected from project team member using questionnaires. Data analysis were done using descriptive as well as inferential data analysis techniques. The findings of the study show that the practice of project communication management, communication method, and communication channel had statistically positive significant influence on project performance. Barriers to communication had statistically negative significant influence on project performance. Oral communication method was the most frequently used relatively to others. Bottom-up flow of information was the predominant pattern of communication flow followed by horizontal (lateral) flow of information. The study, therefore, recommends that strengthening the deployment of project communication management and communication method; top –down communication in the project shall be encouraged; and on avoiding barriers to effective communication, revising the established line of communication, building trust between employees must get attention. | en_US |
