R. W. Damayanti, B. Hartono, and A. R. Wijaya
Abstract—This study aims to formulate a project manager’s
leadership competency to manage megaproject’s complexity.
Through qualitative literature exploration, this study integrates
seven organizational leadership theories to develop megaproject
leadership competency. Technical, emotional social and
adaptive competencies are proposed as components of
megaproject leadership competency that are crucial for
managing structural, social, and emergent complexity. This
study contributes to scholarship by giving insight into the
leadership theories that potentially expanded the megaproject
realm. For the practitioners, among others the project manager,
this study gives a description of competencies that could be
considered for managing megaproject complexity.
Index Terms—Competency, complexity, leadership, megaproject.
