Abstract

One of the potential areas for practical implementation of sustainability is sustainable project management. The three main issues in sustainable project management are the lack of theoretical agreement in the definition of sustainability, especially in sustainable project management and more emphasis on environmental issues, little information about the methods through which sustainability goals can be achieved, and savings. In the sources used, it is important to pay attention to the presentation of appropriate models in this field, based on this, the purpose of this article is to design a causal model of sustainable project management using structural-interpretive modeling in Khatam-ul-Anbia construction site. The statistical population of this research includes all experts and project managers in Khatam-ul-Anbia construction site. A statistical sample of 118 managers and experts has been determined. Two questionnaires were used to collect data. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural-interpretive modeling have been used to analyze the data. The results of confirmatory factor analysis have shown the existence of six main components to achieve sustainable project management. The findings of the structural-interpretive modeling section show that the identification of project capabilities and framework as the basis of the sustainable project management model is the most influential component of the developed model, and project managers of Khatam-ul-Anbia camp must pay serious attention to this component in order to achieve sustainable project management. Also, the main component of implementation has been determined as the most influential main component of the model.
