Purpose: The purpose of this project is to determine the impact of project management capabilities on the performance of FXB Village Project.
Methodology: A descriptive study design was used with a quantitative approach. The study focused on 292 employees of FXB Village Project. The sample has been obtained based on Yamane formula and the calculation gave 168 employees. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 22.
Findings: The results indicate a weak positive correlation (R = 0.330) between the predictors and project performance, with the combined influence of the three predictors explaining 10.9% of the variance (R² = 0.109). This suggests that while these factors do contribute to performance, most of the variability is influenced by other unaccounted-for factors. The analysis of the model’s statistical significance, as indicated by the F-statistic (6.675) and its significance level (Sig. = 0.000), confirms that the regression model is valid and that the predictors collectively influence project performance. In conclusion, the regression analysis demonstrates that while overall planning and stakeholder management are significant contributors to the success of the FXB Village Project, team competence appears to be a less influential factor in this context.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends enhancing focus on project planning and investing in stakeholder engagement and management in community-based projects.
