Project success is the backbone of competitiveness and sustainability. The study aims to examine the role of cronyism in the relationship between toxic leadership and project success while taking information technology projects as the study context. Cross-sectional data ( = 240) was collected through closed-ended survey questionnaires to record the responses of IT project employees. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used for analyzing the collected data. Results revealed a negative relationship between toxic leadership and project success, while cronyism positively and significantly mediated the relationship and converted the negative relationship between TL and PS to a positive relationship.
项目成功是竞争力和可持续性的支柱。本研究旨在以信息技术项目为研究背景，考察裙带关系在有毒领导与项目成功之间的关系中所起的作用。通过封闭式调查问卷收集了横截面数据（n = 240），以记录信息技术项目员工的回答。采用结构方程模型（SEM）技术对收集到的数据进行分析。结果显示，有毒领导与项目成功之间存在负相关关系，而裙带关系正向且显著地调节了这种关系，将有毒领导与项目成功之间的负相关关系转变为正相关关系。
