Literature shows that Project Management Knowledge is critical for many industries to achieve Project success,it has been reported that even though Project Success rate over the years is not as significant as anticipated,Project success rate has steadily increased and Project Success has become indispensable in many industries.Project Management now cuts across possibly all industries but the literature on the application of project management within the academia is very scanty,this is intriguing considering the massive role it plays in the training of Project Managers.This study aims to investigate the effects of Project Management to the success of academic research using PMBOK knowledge as constructs for Project Management.A survey questionnaire of academics(University researchers)performed in universities in the city of Hefei,China was used to obtain empirical data.The hypothetical model was adopted from PMBOK framework.Correlation and regression analysis was used to analyze 119 responses and the research hypotheses which found that there was a positive direct relationship between Project Management Knowledge Area and Project Success.An Importance-Performance Analysis(IPA)was also carried out to enable the researchers understand which Project Management Knowledge Areas best contribute and improve Project success of academic research projects.The work adds to body of knowledge(PMBOK)in the field of Project Management as it relates to how academics manage their respective projects and the need for Institutions(Universities)and academics to understand and develop the Project Management Knowledge needed for the success of research projects.
