Abstract
The objective of this research is to see the influence of transformational leadership
competencies on project success in fashion industry, where the mediating role of trust and the
moderating role of knowledge sharing are involved. This research employed the quantitative
research approach where data was collected through cross sectional survey from professionals
in Lahore’s fashion sector including project managers, team leaders, and designers. The
analysis implies that although strategic decision making, emotional intelligence and
communication are essential for transformational leadership competence to manage the fashion
industry, influence of these on project success is not as strong as suggested. Additionally, while
trust does not significantly mediate the effect of leadership competencies on project success;
knowledge sharing does not significantly moderate this effect. These findings show that the
leadership, trust and knowledge sharing dynamic is more complicated and nuanced than
previously recognized, specifically in a creative and dynamic environment like fashion. The
research adds to the body of knowledge on project management with regard to how
transformational leadership can be practiced in less orthodox settings and that the fashion
industry needs a more holistic perspective to leadership and project management. The study is
limited by measurement reliability, as well as the cross-sectional design which prevents causal
inferences. This study used a deductive research approach, the analysis conducted is on IBM
SPSS, and the sample size is 200-300 respondents.
