In order to improve project performance by analyzing the effects of the project manager's leadership competency and the individual competency of the project participants on the project performance, this study examines the effect. In this study, a research model and hypothesis were established to understand the causal relationship between leadership competency, individual competency, and project performance, and a survey was conducted based on this. Overall, it was found that the leadership competency of the project manager and the individual competency of the project participants had a positive effect on the project management performance, the project leadership competency had a positive effect on the completion performance, and the project participant individual competency had a negative effect on the completion performance. As a result of analyzing the effect of the project manager's core competency on the project management performance according to the amount or period of the project type, which is the moderating variable, it was found that there was no moderating effect on the management performance. For the success of the SI project, it is most important to understand the project characteristics well and select a PM suitable for the characteristics, and methods for nurturing excellent project managers should be further studied. In addition, it is expected that it will be possible to identify the effect of project manager leadership competency and participant competency on project performance based on sophisticated research design for more competent PM selection.

The results of this study are as follows: Individual entrepreneurial orientation positively influenced entrepreneurial intentions, cognitive competency, and social awareness of entrepreneurs. Moreover, it was found that higher levels of cognitive competency and social awareness led to higher entrepreneurial intentions. Additionally, it was demonstrated that cognitive competency and social awareness of entrepreneurs had parallel mediating effects in the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intentions. Based on these findings, this study provides theoretical foundations for research on the relationship between individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial intentions, which have been relatively underexplored. Furthermore, by identifying cognitive competency and social awareness as mediating variables, this study opens avenues for academic expansion. Finally, the findings of this study can serve as practical groundwork related to individual entrepreneurial orientation.
