Abstract: We studies project complexity, knowledge sharing behavior, and project on project success in the context of project organizations in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The data were collected from 326 employees working on multiple projects using reliable measures. Project complexity showed negative association with project success. Knowledge sharing pointed out a negative relationship with project complexity and a positive relationship with project success. Regression showed a positive contribution of project complexity and a positive role of knowledge sharing behaviour towards project success. We observed a positive interactive effect of knowledge sharing behaviour and project complexity on project success. Results indicate that complex projects are more likely to fail if knowledge sharing behaviours are not practiced at work. We suggest encouraging employees to share their knowledge and experiences for effective decision making and dealing with difficult situations ensuring the success of complex projects.
