Abstract:

Project success is the primary goal of every construction project execution. The achievement of project success is influenced by who and how it is managed. Therefore, the leadership of the project manager significantly determines the quality of the construction project execution. Success is generally associated with the triple constraint criteria of being time, budget, and quality. Previous research states that the consequences arising from the application of an inappropriate leadership style can affects the performance of employees and will have an impact on smooth running construction project. So the aim of this research is to analyze the relationship and influence of the project manager's leadership style on the success of construction projects. The research involved employees from a large contractor company in Aceh. Data was collected through questionnaire distribution and analyzed using correlation methods with SPSS software. From the results of data analysis using product moment correlation, it was found that the leadership style variable as a whole has a significant relationship to the success of construction projects (Sig. < 0,05). The close relationship between the two is included in the moderate category, with a Pearson correlation value of 0,512.
