| dc.description.abstract | Ineffective Project communication management is one of the major problems that hinder the successful implementation of development projects, especially in rural areas. This study, therefore, examined the Factors Constraining Effective Communication Project Implementation of Selected Projects in Rural Areas of Bayelsa State. The aim is to identify and analyze the communication management factors constraining development projects in rural areas of Bayelsa State. To realize the stated objectives of the study, research questions were stated, and hypotheses were formulated to guide this study. The communication management factors that contributed to a high level of cost and time overrun witnessed, were identified. Based on the identified factors, questionnaires were designed and administered to hundred and forty-seven (147) respondents that participated in the planning and implementation of selected development projects. Data collected were analyzed using Descriptive statistics and correlation analysis and t-test technique. The correlation result shows a high level of relationship between communication management and development project implementation. The t-test results revealed that poverty and illiteracy contributed mostly to ineffective communication and constrained development project implementation. The level of poverty and illiteracy generated conflict and youth restiveness which negatively affected project success in Bayelsa State. The study therefore recommends improved formal education which will assist reduce illiteracy, conflict and youth restiveness that inhibits effective communication management, thus improving the level of success achieved in the implementation of development projects in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. | |
