Abstract: Plethora of research have indicated that task performance is influenced by the level of project team effectiveness and team control. However, little is known about the influence of team control on construction project team effectiveness. Using a questionnaire survey and a partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis, this study explored the effects of dynamics of team control on the level of team effectiveness in construction project delivery. The results revealed that formal control (FC) and informal control (IC) account for about 65% (0.648) and 30% (0.304) respectively of the total 71.0% variance in the level of team effectiveness in project delivery. Thus, formal and informal controls in project teams make substantial and moderate effects respectively to the level of team effectiveness in project delivery. Thus, project teams can enhance and legitimise their formal and informal controls in project delivery towards improving their effectiveness in task and team performance.
