Introduction: The key purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of integration management, technical risk, social risk, and project management risk in determining the performance of United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) construction sector, grounded in the theoretical foundations of agency theory and resource-based view (RBV).
Methods: Data was collected through a survey questionnaire from various respondents linked with the UAE construction industry. A final valid sample of 288 respondents was utilized for both descriptive and inferential statistics. Measurement model and structural model assessments were conducted using Smart PLS.
Results: The study findings showed a significant positive impact of integration management on project management performance within the construction sector. Conversely, technical risk and project management risk were found to be adversely and significantly linked with project performance.
Conclusions: For achieving peak performance in the construction industry, project managers and related individuals need to mitigate the adverse impacts of the identified risk factors. Additionally, promoting integration across different functional departments and project-related activities can enhance project management performance. The study also discusses meaningful policy implications, future research directions, and limitations.
