| Abstract: | Performance of road construction project is a concern as far as delivery of the intended outcomes is concerned. Of interest is performance Embu-Siakago ring road project whose performance was perceived to be embedded on the commitment and determination of the team members. The study examined how project team culture influenced performance of Embu-Siakago ring road construction project in Embu County, Kenya. The research was founded on Fisher's theory of decision emergence in groups and Maslow’s theory of motivation. To achieve this objective, survey design was used. The target population was 200 comprising of 2 team leaders (1 Resident engineer and 1 project manager), 36 technicians and 162 team members (technicians and ground men) involved in the construction of Embu-Siakago ring road project. A sample size of 132 was arrived at using Krejcie and Morgan table of sample determination. Data was collected using structured Likert questionnaires and unstructured interview guide were used. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation and Pearson product correlation, ANOVA and regression analysis. F-test was used to test the model at 95% confidence interval. Narrative data from the interviews was transcribed, coded and summarized into themes and sub themes. Data from correlational analysis revealed that for the r=0.15 project team culture had a very weak positive relationship with performance of Embu-Siakago ring road construction project. This showed that project team culture is an important soft project management skill essential for improving performance of projects. Conclusion was made that project team culture has no significance influence on the performance of road construction project. The Government of Kenya should develop appropriate policies that promote positive cultures that maintain spirited and highly performing project teams. Project managers can use the findings from this study to enhance their soft skills when integrating performance requirements, team needs and a working culture so as to inculcate the sense of commitment and determination. Researchers can use the findings to test how team culture moderates project performance across different contexts |
