Abstract The study assessed the effect of resource management practices on completion of road construction projects in Rwanda, with a specific focus on the Base-Butaro-Kidaho road construction project. The research aimed to evaluate the effect of material resource management, financial resource management, and human resource management on the project's successful and timely completion. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. The study population consisted of 393 stakeholders involved in the planning, execution, and oversight of the Base-Butaro-Kidaho road project. A sample of 198 respondents was selected using stratified and simple random sampling techniques, complemented by purposive sampling to identify key respondents Descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression were employed to analyze the data. Key findings indicate that material resource management had an overall average mean score of 4.53, showing that it was highly effective in ensuring the project's completion. Financial resource management showed a strong positive correlation with project completion (r = .504, p < .01), while human resource management had the strongest positive impact (r = .570, p < .01). The overall resource management practices demonstrated a significant correlation with project success (r = .643, p < .01). The regression analysis further revealed that human resource management had the most substantial positive impact on project completion, followed by financial and material resource management. The ANOVA results confirmed the statistical significance of all three management practices in predicting project success. The study concludes that comprehensive and strategic resource management practices are essential for the successful completion of road construction projects, with human resource management being the most influential factor. Based on these findings, the study recommends enhancing human resource management, strengthening financial resource management, and improving material resource management to ensure the continued success of future projects. Suggestions for further research include expanding the scope to other infrastructure projects, investigating additional factors influencing project success, and conducting cross-regional comparisons to understand contextual influences on resource management practices.
