Abstract
Construction projects can mainly achieve the desired level of perfection by using different approaches. Assuming the conventional approach to project management is to face a systematic and predictable world. However, features such as the large number of components, the interdependence between them, the high degree of synergy, the variety of components and most importantly, the nonlinear behavior that is a key feature of complex systems, has made the nature of construction projects, It looks completely different than before. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of influencing stress management and time management on the success of project management in the construction industry. The present study is a descriptive correlation from the perspective of applied purpose and from the perspective of data collection method. The statistical population of the present study of the staff of Isfahan Municipality Civil Organization was considered to be 135 people, the sampling method was determined as a group (random class) and the sample size was determined by Cochran's formula as 100. A standard questionnaire was used to collect the desired information and measure the research variables. The validity of the measurement tool is confirmed by its content and its reliability is confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Software (SPSS 24) was used to analyze the data. The results showed that time management with a path coefficient of 0.945 has the greatest impact on project management.
