Abstract

In this research, we examined the mediating role of Knowledge Management (KM) and Transformational Leadership (TL) in the relationship between Organizational Excellence Management (MOE) and Project Success (PS) among 180Peruvian project managers in the service, manufacturing, construction, and technology sectors. A quantitative, explanatory, cross-sectional design using structural equation modeling was applied. The results revealed that OME had a significant direct effect on PS (β = 0.85, p < 0.001) and indirect effects through KM (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and TL (β = 0.23, p < 0.001). The model explained 60% of the variance in PM, 23% in KM, and 44% in TL, indicating a satisfactory level of explanatory power and model fit. These findings demonstrated that excellence-oriented management practices strengthen knowledge and leadership capabilities, which in turn improve project performance. The study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of OME, KM, and TL as key drivers of project success in emerging economy contexts such as Peru.
