The Influence of Project Management and Digital Monitoring Systems on Road Infrastructure Performance through Project Control Effectiveness as a Mediating Variable in Southeast Sulawesi
Keywords:
Digital Monitoring Systems, Project Management, Project Control Effectiveness, Road Infrastructure Performance.Abstract
This study examines the influence of project management and digital monitoring systems on road infrastructure
performance through project control effectiveness as a mediating variable in Southeast Sulawesi. The research is driven
by the increasing demand for timely, cost-efficient, and high-quality road development, as well as the need to integrate
digital technology into infrastructure project supervision. The objectives of this study are to analyze: (1) the effect of
project management on project control effectiveness, (2) the effect of digital monitoring systems on project control
effectiveness, (3) the direct effect of project management and digital monitoring systems on road infrastructure
performance, and (4) the mediating role of project control effectiveness. This research used a quantitative survey
approach involving 150 respondents, including project managers, site engineers, supervisors, and technical staff
engaged in road infrastructure projects in Southeast Sulawesi. Data were collected using structured questionnaires
with a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The
results show that project management and digital monitoring systems have positive and significant effects on project
control effectiveness and road infrastructure performance. In addition, project control effectiveness significantly
mediates the relationship between the independent variables and infrastructure performance, indicating partial
mediation. In conclusion, strengthening project management practices and integrating digital monitoring systems are
essential to improving sustainable and high-quality road infrastructure performance in Southeast Sulawesi.
