Person-environment fit, the match between individuals and the environments in which they work, has been the focus of much research. P-E lit occurs when there is a good match between the characteristics/requirements of a particular work environment and the characteristics/expectations of the person working in that environment. Individuals tend to prefer environments that have the same "personality" that they do. The current study extended P-E lit to the lit between project managers' (PM) personality and the types of projects (P) they manage, and focuses on the relationship between PM-P fit and ...

The culprit for project failure is the complexity that is associated with a project. Unfortunately, project complexity will be part and parcel of a project especially in a VUCA world. This implies then that projects will continuously fail as the culprit is not disappearing. However, the purpose of this paper is to show how complexity at times appears like an opaque conundrum, which allows hiding whatever in it, even stupidity. The analysis of 1064 datasets from a questionnaire-based survey on stakeholder complexity reveals that project stakeholders do not treat project complexity with the nece...

A challenge in Lean Construction is how to make it applicable when there is a high degree of complexity and uncertainty. In many construction projects there are changing project requirements, unique products and a need for actions that are highly focused on meeting customer/client expectations. Such scenarios require management methods that are characterised by being flexible and able to react to change. The aim of this thesis is to introduce a method that has such characteristics. Project Management, Lean and Agile paradigms are merged through the application of the fission and fusion approac...

This article examines project management through the lens of practice. Drawing on the literature, we develop a typological model that brings together four distinct theoretical types of project management practice. Adopting a deliberately critical perspective, we show that the first three types propose a weak conception of the logical relationship between the theory and practice of project management. In contrast, the fourth type, anchored in a pragmatist conception of the theory-practice link, provides the potential to build strong theories of project management practice. A specific objective ...

The papers presented in this issue have been chosen to challenge some readers who may still be accustomed to thinking of project management in terms of more traditional sectors. While many of my colleagues acknowledge that project management is ubiquitous in terms of industry sectors there is still a lot of debate about what PM really means and what we should be focused on in developing research and developing project management practice.

Project management success is an interesting scientific subject from management perspective. Hence, numerous studies had been done by prior scholars to explore and identify the important factors for project success from holistic perspective. In addition, prior research also commonly agreed that project manager plays an important role toward project success. However, there is lack of study that particularly focuses on the roles played by project manager toward project success. Hence, this paper reviews the roles of project manager, reexamines the definition of project management from the projec...

This paper intends to underline the aspects which connect the Project Management (PM) to the Quality Management (QM). The innovative perspective lies in the emphasis on those aspects of Quality Management, which have not yet been underlined in connection with Project Management (PM). These aspects are present in the series of quality standards ISO 10006 and ISO 10007, which led to some interpretations which ink Project Management (PM) with Quality Management (QM).

In this paper we describe the project management structures, challenges and crucial success factors of the GAL project, an interdisciplinary research project in Lower Saxony/Germany. After a brief introduction on the research topics, the organizational structures and management tools are described. We then discuss the project management challenges of physical distance, interdiscipli-narity, project controlling and lateral management that are typical for large-scale research networks.
Here we describe the need for systematically categorizing the many different types of projects that exist, discuss a few of the many possible ways to categorize them, and present a widely used project categorization approach that has proven practical for many organizations. That project categorization model has been used since 2005 in the project management (PM) maturity research conducted using the Prado PM Maturity Model in Brazil, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and the United States. The Need for Categorizing Projects and Programs Significant differences exist between the many projects wit...

In many scholars' public institutions should have effective and efficient Performance Management Systems (PMS) in place to promote and develop the performance of civil servants. In the public sector, good management of staff performance is fundamental for efficient service delivery. The mandate of public institutions is to offer quality and effective service delivery to the public; as a result, public institutions' performance is scrutinized by the public, who have higher expectations from the government. These expectations are based on the votes cast and the taxes paid by the public. Thus, pu...
