The research focused on analyzing the project implementation process, factors facilitating alignment with the work plan, and constraints encountered, in order to propose strategies for improving project efficiency.
The sample consisted of 69 staff members of the Faculty of Education. Most were female (50 persons, 72.46%), 26 were lecturers (37.68%), and 31 were aged between 35–44 years (44.93%).
The findings revealed that key factors supporting project alignment with work plans and budgets include: clear procedures for project approval and budget utilization (mean = 4.57), monitoring and evaluation of projects according to the plan (mean = 4.52), staff training and guidance (mean = 4.45), budget appropriateness relative to actual activities (mean = 4.39), project relevance to the faculty’s main objectives (mean = 4.17), and alignment of projects with the faculty’s strategic plan (mean = 4.12).
The study concluded that projects aligned with work plans and budgets should have clear approval and budget procedures, effective monitoring and evaluation systems, staff training, and appropriately allocated budgets. Additionally, opportunities should be provided for staff to participate and propose new projects to ensure that project implementation achieves its objectives efficiently
