The future of leadership in Saudi Arabia: the nexus of shared leadership, project team process, and performance

The current study aims to identify the impact of shared leadership on project team processes such as coordination, goal commitment, and knowledge sharing in the context of Saudi Arabia. To serve this aim, a survey is conducted of 168 project team members working in various project teams. For analysis of the data, the latest editions of both AMOS and SPSS were used. The findings exhibited that the shared leadership directly affected all the three factors which in-turn directly affected the team performance; though, the shared leadership had no direct impact on the team performance. Moreover, based on the results, this study provides implications for team members and leaders to focus on coordinating activities, commitment to goals, and share the knowledge effectively in order to affect the team processes for better performance. The study adds to the area of shared leadership and team performances with these novel insights by introducing the significant role of these factors.
