Factors that obstruct project success in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (Electricity and Energy Directorate)

The purpose of the research was to investigate factors that obstruct successful completion of projects in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (Electricity and Energy Directorate). The literature review was done to understand the concept of project success; the study concluded that project success is the completion of project within time, within budget, within specifications while ensuring the satisfaction of all the stakeholders. Five factors that could obstruct project success were considered in this research, which are: Project managers, Scarcity of human resources, Organisational culture, Organisational structure and the Business strategy. A quantitative approach was used in the study to establish the relationship of these variables to project success and to establish the correlation between the variables.The research revealed that organisational culture has a stronger relationship to project success. Scarcity of human resources, organisational structure and business strategy do not have a significant relationship to project success, however organisational structure and business strategy have a strong correlation to organisational culture which in turn influences the project success.
