The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of the relationship between co-worker support and project efficiency, considering the mediating role of team cohesiveness and the moderating role of project culture. The context of this study is projects taking place in Pakistan. Data were collected from 100 participants who were team members on various projects, using a structured questionnaire. The findings suggest that project efficiency is positively influenced by co-worker support in the presence of team cohesiveness. Regression analysis for the mediating and moderating variables was performed using Models 4 and 1 of the PROCESS Macro for SPSS, as presented by Preacher and Hayes. The results indicate that team cohesiveness mediates the relationship between co-worker support and project efficiency, while project culture moderates the relationship between co-worker support and team cohesiveness. Finally, the study discusses implications for project managers and provides directions for future research.
