This paper conducted a quantitative study to measure the moderating role of political skills. Past researches recognized that conflict is a vibrant aspect to lessen project performance through budget overrun.

The influence of interpersonal conflict on project performance by Lessing the dysfunctional outcome is the most emphasized part of this research.

Data was collected from project managers and project members. Hypotheses were tested with 280 samples and process macro was used to test the moderated mediated relation. A survey revealed that political skill does not act as a moderator. Furthermore, findings revealed that there exists full mediation. Negative emotion mediates the relationship between negative emotion and project performance. This study would be a great step to strengthen the existing literature and will also help to increase knowledge in the prevailing literature. The research was on small scale and data was conducted from small numbers of respondents. Moreover, research should be conducted to identify the reasons why a political skill does not exist as a moderator in defense industry.

When political skill is not acting as a moderator then what are other factors which could act as moderator to increase project performance should be cater in future. | |
