Development and validation of the project manager skills scale (PMSS): An empirical approach.

This paper presents the development and validation of the Project Manager Skills Scale (PMSS), a novel instrument designed to quantify and evaluate the critical skills of project managers. The PMSS is anchored in a comprehensive literature review and expert feedback and identifies five key dimensions of project manager skills: Technical Skills, Managerial Competences, Communication Skills, Management Style-Leadership, and Technological and Methodological Competences. The discovery of an additional fifth dimension in this study underscores the multidimensional nature of project manager skills and deviates from the initial four-cluster expectation outlined in the project management literature.
