An excellent project management strategy is essential for organizational success in the fiercely competitive and constantly changing food manufacturing industry. In this industry, project managers frequently deal with a great deal of environmental unpredictability, which can affect their stress levels and, in turn, their performance. This study employs quantitative analysis through SmartPLS 4.0 to investigate the relationship between environmental uncertainty, stress management, project manager performance, and overall organizational success in the context of the food manufacturing industry. A comprehensive survey was conducted within the food manufacturing sector, encompassing a population of project managers. A stratified random sampling approach yielded a sample size of 218 respondents, who provided data on environmental uncertainty, stress management practices, and self-reported performance as project managers. SmartPLS 4.0 was employed for data analysis, enabling structural equation modeling to examine the relationships between these variables. The quantitative analysis reveals significant correlations between environmental uncertainty and project manager stress levels within the food manufacturing industry. Importantly, stress management practices were found to act as a crucial mediator in this relationship. Project managers who effectively manage stress reported enhanced performance outcomes, contributing to organizational success. These findings underscore the significance of proactive stress management strategies in mitigating the adverse effects of environmental uncertainty.
