Project leader’s interactive use of controls, team learning behaviour and IT project performance: the moderating role of process accountability

Purpose– This study aims to understand how project leaders’ interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted. Design/methodology/approach– Data were collected from a cross-sectional s...

description Purpose– This study aims to understand how project leaders’ interactive use of the project management control systems (MCS) impact IT project performance, by examining the mechanisms through which this relationship is enacted. Design/methodology/approach– Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 109 IT project managersworkinginCanadianandUSA-basedorganizations.Amoderatedmediationmodelwasanalysedby hierarchical component reflective-formative measurement modelling using PLS-SEM. Findings– Results suggest that the leader’s interactive use of project MCS is associated with IT project performance, and this relationship is partially mediated by team learning behaviour. In addition, the relationship between the interactive use of project MCS and team learning behaviour is moderated by the organization’s emphasis on process accountability, with the effect being stronger under the conditions of higher emphasis on process accountability. Originality/value– This study contributes to the literature on the use of controls in the IT project-based business environments by explaining how the project leader’s style of use of controls influences project team learning behaviour that in turn impacts project performance. Additionally, this study extends the project governance and accountability literature by identifying and empirically examining how the perceptions of project leader’s institutionalized organizational accountability arrangements moderate the impact of the interactive use of control systems on team learning behaviour. A methodological contribution of the study is the scale development to measure leader’s perceptions about the organization’s emphasis on process accountability. Keywords Team development, Management information system, Leaders managerial skills, Business leadership, Effective leader behaviours, Organization and behaviour management.
