Introduction: This research aimed to assess the impact of integration management, social risk, and technical risk on project management performance within the construction sector in the UAE.
Methods: A survey questionnaire was developed by extracting items from existing literature. A random sampling technique was used for data collection, resulting in a final valid response of 288 questionnaires. The data was empirically tested through measurement and structural models using Smart PLS.
Results: The study demonstrated reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the latent constructs. The structural model results confirmed that integration management, technical risk, and knowledge management had a significant effect on construction project performance. Additionally, knowledge management significantly moderated the relationship between integration management and project performance, as well as between social risk and project performance in the UAE.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that effective knowledge management can enhance project performance by moderating the impact of integration management and risk factors. Several policy implications were provided based on these results.
