Abstract

• This paper aims to analyse the effect of project manager’s skills and experiences on project success, focusing on the Royal AMT construction company limited. The specific objectives are to examine the effect of project manager’s skills (conceptual skills, human skills, political skills and technical skills) and experience on project success measured by cost, measured by schedule and measured by quality. Among 50 project managers, 44 are randomly selected as sample (by calculating with Yamane (1967) formula. Primary data are collected from superiors of these 44 selected project managers. The superiors (directors and senior managers) filled the structured questionnaires: one superior for one project manager separately. From descriptive analysis, most of the project managers have high level of conceptual, human, political and technical skills. They have at least 10 years in construction service. From regression analysis, their political skills and technical skills can generate good cost management. Their political skills support to completion of project within identified time frame, and their technical skills improve the quality of project. However, their human skills will disturb effective cost management.
