The comprehensive framework of the study provides the better understanding and has addressed the vast spectrum of literature regarding the impact of “team wisdom mechanisms” on project performance with mediation effect of “collective efficacy” and moderation effect of “team temporal leadership”. A survey-based approach using a questionnaire was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study. 400 questionnaires were distributed after visiting the companies and project sites. Due to COVID-19 pandemic a lockdown was imposed and all offices/projects were closed. So, we used the google form and sent emails to project managers and project team members working on telecommunication projects in Pakistan. Our respondents were project managers and project team members working on different telecommunication projects in Pakistan. Analysis have been done by correlation and x regression analysis techniques. Mediation is checked by process of Andrew F. Hayes. Findings show that there is a significant relation between team wisdom mechanisms, collective efficacy and project performance. Collective efficacy partially mediates the relationship between team wisdom mechanisms and project performance of employees working on different telecommunication projects in Pakistan. But, moderating role of team temporal leadership between team wisdom mechanisms and collective efficacy of project team members found to be insignificant.

Team wisdom mechanisms are very important to enhance the project performance and collective efficacy of project team. There are some limitations of this study as it is done in only one sector, due to less time we used cross-sectional approach. In future other researchers may explore this model in other sectors.
