description Project portfolio management ensures a hierarchy of purpose and effective prioritization of projects in achieving organization’s strategic objectives. This study argues that the lack of discipline in integrating projects makes project portfolio investments and anticipated benefits unclear, causing internal congestion of indecisive and/or unsuccessful projects.

Based on samples drawn from the information and communications technology (ICT) industry in the Republic of Korea (an advanced economy) and Pakistan (an emerging economy), the hypothesized relationships were empirically tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study findings revealed a significant and positive effect of CEO transformational leadership on project portfolio success.
