Abstract

Power Transmission plays a vital role in Power Sector to transport power from the generation plant to the end-user. Achieving organizational goals through power transmission is a significant concern for any organization, especially in India. The study proposes a project management framework for power transmission projects based on project critical success factors. Power Transmission projects are often influenced by numerous critical success factors which support the organization to reach its intended goals with high efficiency. A total of 46 critical success factors are considered of strategy, risk, contract, information technology, and stakeholder. The survey questionnaire is used as a research tool with professionals of power transmission projects from 14 private and public companies in India, who actively engage in the projects at different levels. The outcome of statistical analysis by SPSS-25 reveals that Project success has a positive direct relation with strategy, risk, information technology, stakeholder and whereas, a contract has not directed relation. As mediator variable risk, contract, information technology, and stakeholder have a direct relation with strategy. So, the contract has a significant indirect relation with project success. The proposed framework will support the alignment of project success with organizational goals through identified Critical Success Factors.
