Supervisor – Associate Prof. Eglė Daunienė Master’s thesis was prepared in Vilnius, in 2025 Scope of Master’s thesis – 80 pages. Number of tables used is 18pcs. Number of figures used is 6. Number of bibliography and references – 55 pcs. This thesis explores the connections between adaptive leadership actions: situational diagnosis, behavioral flexibility, and balancing competing demands, and project outcomes in dynamic settings by considering hybrid work arrangements as a contextual moderator. Based on the quantitative data of 70 IT project management professionals in Pakistan, the behavior of adaptive leadership was found to explain the project outcomes variance of 53.6, with a significant result (p=0.001). Situational diagnosis was found to be the most predictive (b=0.507) and balancing competing demands is the next strongest predictor (b=0.461) and the final predictor is behavioral flexibility (b=0.319). However, in contrast to what was expected, hybrid work environment did not change these associations in a significant way. Results can be used to offer evidence-based recommendations on how to build adaptive leadership skills in an IT project. |
