The relationship between project leadership, team composition and construction project performance in Nigeria

Abstract The study was on the effect of project leadership and team composition on construction project performance in Nigeria. A total of 60 questionnaires drawn from project team leaders comprising 12 each from architecture, building, civil engineering, estate surveying, and quantity surveying were collected and used for the study. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson product–moment correlation. The tests of the hypotheses led to the conclusion that there was significant relationship between the project leader's professional qualification, his leadership style, team composition and overall project performance. No significant relationship was found between the project leader's profession and overall project performance.
