Abstract
Despite abundant research on project management offices and project portfolio management offices (PPMOs), it is still unclear whether PPMOs contribute to business success. This study explores the role of employee voice behavior in the relationship between PPMOs and business success. The findings from 255 portfolios reveal that PPMO contributions and voice behavior positively relate to management quality, which subsequently relates to business success. Moreover, voice behavior enhances the relationships among PPMO contributions, management quality, and business success. These results have important implications for research on voice behavior in a multiproject context and for understanding PPMOs’ performance and social dynamics.
期刊介绍:
Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management.
Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise.
PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
