Abstract
In capitalistic and poverty stricken countries like Uganda, the Ethical Orientation of Project Managers is fast
becoming an issue of paramount concern as Program sponsors and project beneficiaries seek for strategies to attain
and sustain effectiveness and efficiency in project performance. This is because those with access to the project
resources in such countries tend to satisfy their selfish interests with the limited project resources. This research
work examines the relationship between Ethical Orientation of Project Managers and Project Performance on
National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) projects in Uganda. The study adopted a cross sectional
quantitative survey research approach. This was because of a relatively large sample involved in the study. Data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis methods. Findings indicated that
there is a significant positive relationship between Ethical Orientation of Project Managers and Project
Performance. The study thus provides scientific evidence to the fact that Ethical Orientation of Project Managers
significantly influences the performance of developmental Projects like NAADS. If unchecked, this single factor
can lead to collapse of running projects.
