Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess stakeholder management antecedents in public private
partnership (PPP) projects in Uganda.
Design/methodology/approach – This study is cross sectional and quantitative in nature. Data were
collected by means of a questionnaire survey from a sample of 94 PPP projects in Uganda. Stratified random
sampling was used in selecting projects for this study. Smart PLS–SEM was used for analysis.
Findings – Results from the study show that the key antecedents of stakeholder management include;
communication, engagement, commitment and trust. Communication was found to be the strongest
antecedent of stakeholder management. Results also show that trust and commitment are insignificantly
associated with stakeholder management in PPP projects.
Research limitations/implications – This paper is limited to the antecedents of stakeholder management
in PPP projects in Uganda. Further studies should be conducted in the public and private sectors where there
are also multiple stakeholders.
Practical implications – The paper has documented the antecedents of stakeholder management in PPP
projects in Uganda. The results will help project managers and policy makers appreciate the different
antecedents of stakeholder management and how they are important in managing interests and expectations
of different stakeholders.
Originality/value – This research focused on the key antecedents of stakeholder management in PPP
projects within the Ugandan context.
