Almost half of projects have failed globally during the last 50 years yet most studies in the literature review were inclusive. The research design was a robust repeated measures controlled experiment where the 16 participants received all treatments, which may be contrasted to a similar 4 x 4 factorial experiment with a control group (common in psychology or healthcare) resulting in a group size of only 4. All but the individual project manager (PM) factors were controlled, while primary demographic and behavior data were collected. PM’s were tested for competence using a risk management scenario, and given two manipulated conditions (a basic and a biased treatment). Since the organizational and project level factors were controlled, some individual level factors impacted the decision. PM’s with higher competence made better decisions, with a 22% effect size, when all other factors in the model were accounted for. Competent non-certified PM’s made better decisions as compared to certified incompetent PM’s.
在过去的50年里,全球几乎有一半的项目失败了,但文献综述中的大多数研究都是包容性的。研究设计是一个强大的重复测量控制实验,其中16名参与者接受了所有治疗,这可能与对照组(常见的心理学或医疗保健)的类似4 x 4析因实验形成对比,导致组大小仅为4。除了单个项目经理(PM)因素外,所有因素都得到了控制,同时收集了主要的人口统计和行为数据。使用风险管理场景测试PM的能力,并给出两个操纵条件(基本和有偏见的处理)。由于控制了组织和项目层面的因素,一些个人层面的因素影响了决策。当考虑到模型中的所有其他因素时,具有较高能力的PM做出了更好的决策,其效应量为22%。有能力的非认证PM比有资格的不合格PM做出更好的决策。

Facilitating knowledge transfer in organizations has proven to be challenging, and one of the most prominent obstacles for successful knowledge transfer is the organization’s culture. Therefore, the core objective of this study was to investigate how organizational culture affects the knowledge transfer process in project-intensive IT organizations. We conducted a multiple-case study with in-depth semi-structured interviews from two IT consultancy companies. We identified five main categories of factors within organizational culture that have a significant effect on knowledge transfer in project-intensive IT companies: organizational values, relationships and communication, leadership, project characteristics, and individual factors. The role of organizational values, cooperation, and leaders’ behavior are all crucial for successful knowledge transfer. Organizational values must support knowledge transfer. Cooperation creates the best environment for knowledge transfer, and leaders must be aware of their behavior.
在组织中促进知识转移已被证明是具有挑战性的,而成功的知识转移最突出的障碍之一是组织的文化。因此,本研究的核心目的是探讨组织文化如何影响项目密集型IT组织的知识转移过程。我们对两家IT咨询公司进行了深入的半结构化访谈,进行了多案例研究。我们确定了组织文化中对项目密集型IT公司的知识转移有重要影响的五个主要类别的因素:组织价值观、关系和沟通、领导力、项目特征和个人因素。组织价值观的作用、合作和领导者的行为都对成功的知识转移至关重要。组织价值观必须支持知识转移。合作创造了知识转移的最佳环境,领导者必须意识到自己的行为。

Chia-ping Yu, Yu-Chung Hsiao
This study investigated the resource management plan as a group coordination strategy that encompasses the technology resources, the human IT resources, and the organizational resources, to accomplish a successful information system project. To obtain accurate data, this research used qualitative research and coding in the grounded theory, to explore resource management issues in the development of information systems. The results indicated that the stakeholders possessed different resources, and these resources shared amongst them is important, as these stakeholders have a common goal towards the software development project. Thus, the common goals and interests are essential to overcome the ineffective coordination between the vendors and clients. This study assesses resource management from the common goal identification perspective and extends resource management research from the internal organizations to external organizations. In practices, this study assists the group coordination strategy in designing a practicable resource management plan together.
本研究将资源管理计划作为一种包含技术资源、人力IT资源和组织资源的团队协调策略,以成功地完成信息系统项目。为了获得准确的数据,本研究采用定性研究和扎根理论中的编码,探讨信息系统开发中的资源管理问题。结果表明涉众拥有不同的资源,并且这些资源在他们之间共享是重要的,因为这些涉众对软件开发项目有一个共同的目标。因此,共同的目标和利益对于克服供应商和客户之间的无效协调至关重要。本研究从共同目标识别的角度对资源管理进行评估,并将资源管理研究从内部组织扩展到外部组织。在实践中,本研究协助团队协调策略共同设计可行的资源管理计划。

This research investigates the impact of the project management office functions on project success in Saudi Arabia. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to study different project management functions and project success measures. The data collected on a validated list of 19 project management office functions and 14 project success measures obtained from the literature. The analyses have two parts, one to compare the project performance of organizations that have PMO to those who do not have, using excel sheets by averaging the responses for each measure. The second part is to study the relationship between PMO functions and project success measures using structural equation modeling SEM in SMARTPLS-S software. Sixteen hypotheses were generated for analyses in SEM and five of these hypotheses were validated while the remaining 11 could not be validated. The results reported that PMO organizational learning functions directly impact project outcomes, while functions of project monitoring and controlling partially impacts customer satisfaction.

Career Development of Project Management Professionals 项目管理专业人员的职业发展
IF 0.8 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijitpm.304056
L. Carden
The focus of this research is the perception of project management professionals as it relates to behaviors and attitudes for career opportunities that yield extrinsic rewards, including salaries. Career development activities, signaling theory, expectancy theory, and pay transparency are used as theoretical frameworks to examine how country, job position, team size, and PMP certification status impact salaries. I use preexisting salary survey data from 42 countries to show that organizations and individuals may need to consider the signals and expectations they make concerning rewards and the impacts to career development on individual expectations and organizational performance. I further suggest that the use of signaling theory and expectancy theory will support multinational organizations that engage in pay transparency practices.
本研究的重点是项目管理专业人员的感知,因为它与产生外部奖励(包括薪水)的职业机会的行为和态度有关。职业发展活动、信号理论、期望理论和薪酬透明度被用作理论框架来研究国家、工作职位、团队规模和PMP认证状态如何影响薪酬。我使用了来自42个国家的现有薪酬调查数据,以表明组织和个人可能需要考虑他们对奖励的信号和期望,以及对个人期望和组织绩效的职业发展的影响。我进一步建议,使用信号理论和期望理论将支持从事薪酬透明度实践的跨国组织。

Use and Reuse of Collaboration and Communication Technologies in Projects 项目中协作和通信技术的使用和重用
IF 0.8 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijitpm.304055
M. Tabatabaei
Use of technology and more recently reuse of technology have received a great deal of attention in Information Technology research. However, students’ use and reuse of technology have received little attention. The purpose of this research is to examine if students working in a team will use the same technology with which they have experience and reuse it again. Also, the purpose of this research is to examine the reasons for reusing technology. The Technology Continuance Theory (Liao et al., 2009) is used in this research as an explanatory theory for the reuse of collaboration and communication technologies in teamwork. The findings support experience with a technology as the main driver of reuse of the same technology. The findings also suggest perception of technology usefulness as the main reasons for reuse.
技术的使用和最近的技术重用在信息技术研究中受到了极大的关注。然而,学生对技术的使用和再利用却很少受到关注。这项研究的目的是检查在一个团队中工作的学生是否会使用他们曾经使用过的相同技术并再次使用它。此外,本研究的目的是检查重用技术的原因。本研究采用技术延续理论(Liao et al., 2009)作为团队合作和沟通技术重用的解释理论。研究结果支持将技术经验作为同一技术重用的主要驱动因素。研究结果还表明,对技术有用性的感知是重用的主要原因。

Heuristics' Library for Enterprise Architecture and Portfolio Alignment 企业架构和投资组合对齐的启发式库
IF 0.8 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2022-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijitpm.304054
André Mesquita, André Vasconcelos
It is a complex challenge to align and assess the strategic planning of organizations in the context of the Enterprise Architecture (EA) with the implementation of project portfolios. Thus, this research proposes a library of heuristics that allows evaluating the alignment of project portfolios to the desired qualities, given a strategy and a set of objectives. The heuristics related to the metrics are proposed to enable the measurement of qualities in EA such as reliability, availability, performance, security as well as alignment. Several heuristics are identified for each quality: regarding functionality, it is possible to identify three heuristics, for the quality reliability it is possible to identify one heuristic, for the quality of maintenance it is possible to identify four heuristics, for the quality alignment it is possible to identify nine heuristics and, finally, for the quality dimension it is possible to identify three heuristics. The solution is applied to government projects in the context of identification documents.
在企业架构(EA)的环境中,将组织的战略计划与项目组合的实现结合起来并对其进行评估是一项复杂的挑战。因此,本研究提出了一个启发式库,允许在给定策略和一组目标的情况下,评估项目组合与期望质量的一致性。提出了与度量相关的启发式方法,以便能够度量EA中的质量,例如可靠性、可用性、性能、安全性以及一致性。每个质量都有几个启发式:关于功能,有可能确定三个启发式,对于质量可靠性,有可能确定一个启发式,对于维护质量,有可能确定四个启发式,对于质量一致性,有可能确定九个启发式,最后,对于质量维度,有可能确定三个启发式。该解决方案应用于身份证件背景下的政府项目。

Integrated Financial Management Information System Project Implementation in Ghana Government Ministries 加纳政府部门综合财务管理信息系统项目实施
IF 0.8 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijitpm.2020010102
Winfred Yaokumah, Emelia Biney
This study investigates the factors impeding successful implementation of integrated financial management information system (IFMIS) project in Ghana. When successfully implemented, IFMIS can bring about a reform in the country's financial management by reduce corruption and financial mismanagement. The study uses stratified and purposeful sampling methods and a questionnaire to collect from 346 employees in selected government departments. The study employs descriptive statistics to both assess IFMIS effectiveness and the effect of information and communications technology (ICT) competency in IFMIS implementation. Moreover, multiple regression analysis is used to determine the extent of top management support on IFMIS implementation success. The findings reveal that IFMIS is an effective tool in public financial management; however, the lack of ICT competency and top management support systems are the major factors required for a successful implementation of IFMIS. Recommendations are made to reduce the challenges associated with IFMIS implementation.
本研究探讨了加纳成功实施综合财务管理信息系统(IFMIS)项目的阻碍因素。如果成功实施,国际财务管理信息系统可以通过减少腐败和财务管理不善来改革国家的财务管理。本研究采用分层和有目的的抽样方法,并对选定政府部门的346名雇员进行问卷调查。该研究采用描述性统计来评估IFMIS的有效性以及信息和通信技术(ICT)能力对IFMIS实施的影响。此外,多元回归分析用于确定最高管理层对IFMIS实施成功的支持程度。研究结果表明,国际财务管理信息系统是公共财务管理的有效工具;然而,缺乏信通技术能力和最高管理支助系统是成功实施IFMIS所需的主要因素。提出了减少与实施国际财务报告信息系统有关的挑战的建议。

Successful offshoring engagements of Indian software vendors is increasingly dependent upon the quality of the projects delivered rather than cost considerations. However, delivering quality software is reliant on effective management of various organizational, technological and people aspects. This research is to identify and evaluate the determinants of quality on software projects delivered by vendors through offshoring. Data related to recently completed projects were collected through a survey of 440 project managers from Indian vendors. Based on structural equation modeling, the authors analyze the influence determinants on specific product quality attributes. It is found that, out of six determinants, technical infrastructure and process maturity have significant influence on most of the attributes of quality in offshored IS projects from India. The authors provide a set of implications for practice and directions for further research.
印度软件供应商成功的离岸外包业务越来越依赖于交付项目的质量,而不是成本考虑。然而,交付高质量的软件依赖于对各种组织、技术和人员方面的有效管理。这项研究是为了识别和评估供应商通过外包交付的软件项目的质量决定因素。通过对来自印度供应商的440名项目经理的调查,收集了与最近完成的项目相关的数据。基于结构方程模型,分析了影响产品具体质量属性的因素。研究发现,在六个决定因素中,技术基础设施和过程成熟度对印度离岸信息系统项目的大多数质量属性有显著影响。作者提出了一套实践启示和进一步研究的方向。

Dealing With Accountability in Project Selection 项目选择中的责任处理
IF 0.8 Q4 MANAGEMENT Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.4018/ijitpm.2020010101
Johan Dergård, N. Macheridis
The purpose of this study is to present a framework to assess how project individuals deal with accountability in project selection. The framework is designed based on project selection and accountability literature and empirical data. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews with project individuals working at organizations operating in information technology and working with information technology projects. This method was chosen since the authors considered it to be appropriate for providing a deeper understanding of social phenomena through enabling the researchers to explore the views, experiences and beliefs of motivations of project individuals on specific matters. The framework reveals that project individuals use multiple strategies to deal with accountability, depending on audience and on forms of accountability. How project individuals deal with accountabilities depends on how trust, transparency and legitimacy are embedded in the different principal-agent relationships and the context that the project individuals are involved in during the selection phase.
本研究的目的是提供一个框架来评估项目个人如何在项目选择中处理问责制。该框架是基于项目选择和问责文献和实证数据设计的。经验数据是通过对在信息技术组织和信息技术项目中工作的项目个人进行半结构化访谈收集的。之所以选择这种方法,是因为作者认为,通过使研究人员能够探索项目个人在具体问题上的观点、经验和动机信念,这种方法适合于更深入地了解社会现象。该框架揭示了项目个体根据受众和问责形式的不同,使用多种策略来处理问责。项目个人如何处理问责取决于信任、透明度和合法性如何嵌入不同的委托代理关系,以及项目个人在选择阶段所涉及的背景。

The framework is designed based on project selection and accountability literature and empirical data. Empirical data was collected through semi-structured interviews with project individuals working at organizations operating in information technology and working with information technology projects. This method was chosen since the authors considered it to be appropriate for providing a deeper understanding of social phenomena through enabling the researchers to explore the views, experiences and beliefs of motivations of project individuals on specific matters. The framework reveals that project individuals use multiple strategies to deal with accountability, depending on audience and on forms of accountability. How project individuals deal with accountabilities depends on how trust, transparency and legitimacy are embedded in the different principal-agent relationships and the context that the project individuals are involved in during the selection phase.","PeriodicalId":43211,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Technology Project Management","volume":"13 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87627331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
