The results showed that governance orientation (shareholder-stakeholder) was positively and significantly correlated with all five success dimensions, with the success dimension future potential having the strongest correlation. What does the paper cover? This study investigates the relationship between project governance and project success. To do this, the researchers first empirically test the correlation between project governance and project success, before discussing some of the underlying assumptions which, when met, may provide indicators for a limited causality. The study is relevant for practitioners developing success-related governance structures by pointing out the success related governance approaches, and for academics in developing contingency theories of project performance and results.

Rewards always play an important role in organization's level of psychological contract as well as growth and performance. This study examines the relationship between reward policies and the corresponding psychological contract level of employees at African Union Commission. A Descriptive research design with survey method is applied in this study. Using stratified random sampling technique 111 participants (employees) of the target institution i.e. African Union Commission (AUC) were selected from the total population of 1743. The expected outcome is aimed at unearthing the need to motivate employees of the AUC, so as to improve their level of psychological contract maintenance. The findings of the research generally reveal that reward has ...

Project governance is one of the important pillars in ensuring successful project delivery. So, projects that have clearly defined leadership, responsibilities, reporting lines and communication between all parties i.e. effective governance contribute to project success factors. The study looks at the relationship between project governance and project success from the agency theory and stewardship point of view. So, project governance was operationalized as the extent of corporate governance and organizational control by the parent organization over its projects. A cross-sectional organizational wide online survey conducted on implemented projects in numerous sectors in African Union Commission and yielded 95 usable responses. Factor and regression analyses indicate that project success correlates with increasing stakeh...
