This research aims to investigate the impact of control mechanisms on project performance with the role of moderating the complexity of risk management. Considering that the size of the statistical population in this research is 240 people, and according to Cochran's formula, the required sample size is 147 people. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data for this research. Questionnaires were distributed and collected using the available random method. In order to analyze the data, a structural equation test with partial least squares was used with the help of SMART-PLS software. The 95% confidence level test results showed that control mechanisms with the role of risk management moderators affect project performance. Controlling results has a positive effect on project performance. Behavior control has a positive effect on campus project performance. Self-control has a positive impact on project performance. Tribal control has a positive effect on project performance. Risk management moderates the relationship between control outcomes and project performance. Risk management moderates the relationship between behavioral control and campus project performance. Risk management moderates the relationship between tribal control and project performance. Risk management moderates the relationship between self-control and project performance. Project managers should direct the project to achieve better performance by applying risk management and control mechanisms.
