description Project Management Office (PMO) implementation has gained traction in a variety of fields around the world. It is gaining popularity in the construction industry as well, particularly in large and mega projects. However, in construction it is facing several challenges, including the incorporation of inexperienced managers, a lack of a clear PMO perspective, management unawareness of the scope for implementation, and a failure to follow processes that can benefit the organisation. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) construction industry is also quickly adopting PMO implementation. As a result, the purpose of this research was to investigate the factors influencing the performance of project management offices (PMOs) in the UAE construction industry.
