Project Team Member’s Emotional Intelligence and Project Success in the Construction Industry: A Review of Research and Future Agenda
摘要
Human skills play an integral role in the success of projects in this current volatile, ambiguous, and uncertain business environment. The extant literature corroborates that emotional intelligence (EI) is relevant to project success in the construction industry. The influence of EI in the project's success and the underlying mechanism that defines this association among team members received insufficient theoretical consideration. This study addresses this lacuna by synthesizing extant literature published in International academic journals using the “Scientific Procedures and Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews” (SPAR-4- SLR) protocol. Scopus academic database was used to gather the extant literature and to be analyzed using the Antecedents, Decisions, and Outcome framework developed by Justin Paul and Gabriel Benito. The results suggest that the EI of project team members has a positive interrelation with project performance, and team cohesion has been identified as a mediating factor that enhances the EI – Project success relationship in large-scale construction projects.
