AB  - Project management leadership style of top management increases the probability of organizational
success through the internal and external project success. This study aimed to address the gap in project
management research about construction projects in Syria of which project manager leadership style
(transformational, transactional and laissez-faire and charismatic leadership style) contributes more to internal
and external project success and organization success while incorporating mediating roles of internal and
external project success. Quantitative data were collected from public companies in Syria, then analysed using
descriptive statistics, reliability, correlation and structural equation modelling using PLS2. The finding
demonstrates that all leadership styles were found to have influence on internal and external project success,
the only leadership styles which do not affect internal project success is transactional leadership style while
transformational leadership has the most influence on internal project success. By doing Sobel test to study
the impact of internal and external project success as a mediator between the project management leadership
style and organization success, the results demonstrate the acceptance of mediating role which the indirect path
coefficient become stronger.
