Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate conflict
management in engineering projects in South Africa.
Improved management of project failure is possible if the
relationship between conflict management and project
success is known. Organizations turn to project management
to unlock opportunities and fulfil strategic objectives. This
study provides a framework to address and manage conflict
in outsourced engineering projects for the benefit of
organizations and engineering professionals who are
involved in projects. The constructs of conflict management
and project success were delineated and analyzed with
structural equation modeling in SPSS. The statistical
analysis confirmed that effective conflict management
positively impacts project success.
