This study explores the impact of entrepreneurial leadership (EL) and innovative work behavior (IWB) on project success (PS) in IT sector projects in Pakistan. Guided by the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory, the research adopted a quantitative and causal design, collecting data from employees engaged in IT projects. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial leadership plays a vital role in enhancing project success by fostering adaptability, building shared vision, and encouraging proactive decision-making. Similarly, innovative work behavior was found to positively contribute to project outcomes by promoting creativity, problem-solving, and responsiveness to client needs. The study concludes that both entrepreneurial leadership and innovative work behavior are significant predictors of project success, with entrepreneurial leadership demonstrating a comparatively stronger influence. These results provide theoretical insights into the dynamics of leadership and innovation in project-based organizations and offer practical guidance for IT sector managers in Pakistan to strengthen leadership practices and cultivate innovation-friendly environments that enhance project performance.
