Abstract
There are limited studies on project success which involve construction industries in Kuala Lumpur. This study aimed to fill this gap by assessing social competencies effect on project success among Kuala Lumpur construction industries. Construction projects are associated with the project's issues and problems due to many parties' involvement in the construction project. As many parties involved in the project execution, there will be high chances of taking a proactive approach in controlling uncertainties due to project delays and budget overruns. This is why understanding social competencies is crucial to develop the individual in an organisation. Therefore, this study aims to identify the effect of social competencies on project success among Kuala Lumpur construction industries. To address these issues, this research seeks 1) to determine the influence of relationship management on project success among Kuala Lumpur Malaysian construction industries, and 2) to assess the impact of social-awareness on project success among Kuala Lumpur construction industries. A cross-sectional survey of 107 questionnaires was administered to respondents from Kuala Lumpur G7 construction industries. The Smart PLS-SEM software version 3.0 was used in analysing the data. The results show that social-awareness and relationship management are positively significant with project success among Kuala Lumpur construction industries. This implies that the study's findings provide more understanding of social competencies' effect on project success among Kuala Lumpur construction industries. It also serves as a useful reference point for further research in the area of construction project management.
