Abstract: Today's organisations are concerned with motivation factors that influence the project managers' project achievement and success. In this study, a questionnaire was designed and conducted within the Jordanian construction industry based on five Likert-scales to identify the importance of the motivational dimensions on the project managers in Jordanian construction industry. Six motivational dimensions were defined and analysed, which were; interpersonal interaction, task, general working conditions, empowerment, personal development, and compensation. Results showed that project managers were more motivated with compensation and personal development rather than other dimensions. Also, the level of education for project manager was positively related with the motivation by tasks. A more experienced project manager was highly motivated by empowerment.
