This study analyzes the roles of psychological capital as an individual factor and coworker and family support as environmental factors in reducing the negative effects of project work. Building on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, the influence of these factors on the relationships between subjective stress, job burnout, and individual job performance is examined. The research model is empirically tested using data from a sample of 304 project workers. The results show that coworker and family support are positively associated with psychological capital. Additionally, psychological capital mediates the effects of social resources on subjective stress, which can lead to job burnout and poor work performance. Thus, coworker and family support and psychological capital can mitigate stress, job burnout, and their negative consequences.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on prior data from an autoethnography, it studies an autoethnographer's reflexive engagement with participants through the interview process. It identifies four themes of reflexive engagement, leading to four dimensions of reflexivity that have a constitutive effect on positionality: The Role of the Self; Relationality - Connecting Interviews, Participants, and Diary Entries; The Role of Chance and Circumstance; Bridging Research and Practice. These four dimensions contribute to project scholarship by showing how accounting for researcher positionality in the field helps demonstrate rigour and relevance when foregrounding the lived experience of research and practice in theory development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They do this in an engaging way in a safe environment, making them suitable for testing hypotheses and gathering data on choices, decisions, and interactions of people. In addition, serious games provide an environment that allows for mixed methods data collection. This article introduces the Game Research by Design - Approach about the development of serious gaming research set-ups, which addresses three cycles - <em>theoretical, design and empirical one</em> - when conducting research using serious games.

Under such circumstances, how can project leaders practically perform activities which are described as “wise” or “well-judged”? While this assessment is among the most difficult to attain, research shows that such “practical wisdom”, or <em>phronêsis</em>, is one of the most important features in leaders’ roles. We will explore “practical wisdom” in decision-making under uncertainty in the context of projects by taking the case of early warning signs (EWS) of impending threats to the delivery of the project objectives. We will do this by taking a leader-problem solver perspective on leadership as applied to a recent functional model of project leadership – the Project Leadership Model (PLM). Our contribution in this conceptual theory adaptation paper will be first to introduce the concept of <em>phronêsis</em> to leadership research in project organizing and, second, to develop the judging dimension of the PLM to incorporate this new perspective.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100173"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It addresses the following research question: How is the management of change addressed in project studies? The analysis of prior research reveals six key themes: relationship between change management and project management, change process and factors and factors affecting the change process, change management as a success factor, change resistance, interface with permanent organizations, and change in project-based firms and industries/fields. However, this analysis also highlights the fragmented nature of prior research, emphasizing the need for more conceptual and empirical work to understand the integration of change and project management processes.

The findings demonstrate substantial information and input data challenges in the front-end, and that cost estimation cannot be understood as an isolated process.

Our results also highlight that focusing on uncertainty is essential for realistic budgeting and responsible decision-making in major public projects.
