Abstract
This study investigates the direct and indirect influences of personality traits on IT project success, mediated by conflict management styles. The research utilizes the Big Five personality model (extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and emotional stability) and five conflict management styles (integrating, compromising, avoiding, obliging, and dominating) to create a conceptual framework. Data was collected through an online survey from 238 respondents in IT projects located in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS software. The analysis reveals significant relationships between all Big Five personality traits and successful IT project management. Extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, and emotional stability were identified as positive predictors of project success. Interestingly, the study finds that integrating, compromising, avoiding, and dominating conflict management styles have a direct impact on personality traits, ultimately influencing project success. Notably, no direct association was found between obliging and project success. This aligns with the notion that compromising, often associated with agreeableness, might not be ideal in dynamic IT environments demanding adherence to deadlines. The findings offer valuable insight for project managers and organization seeking to enhance the project success by fostering conflict resolution strategies.
