This paper investigates the Icelandic framework by comparison to the Norwegian framework, through a desk analysis of both structures. Furthermore, the features and perceived utility of the Icelandic project governance structure are assessed by interviewing selected public stakeholders who are representatives of seven important organizations in the public sector. The study indicates that there is a significant difference between the frameworks where the Icelandic framework is lacking crucial elements of what constitutes best practices in modern project governance. In view of extensive plans for investments in infrastructure in the coming years, there is an urgent need for reforming the Icelandic project governance structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100075"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721522000357/pdfft?md5=c3ea2717d64591eae7a971a7fa46be35&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721522000357-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81546688","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}

To understand how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduates responded affectively to the COVID-19 ERT, researchers generated open-ended survey data with 1340 undergraduates (253 female) in 27 courses across seven U.S. institutions. Using an inductive qualitative approach, researchers developed a three-tier thematic model to synthesize the self-reported reasons underlying participants’ affective responses to the COVID-19 ERT. Findings reveal a complex mix of positive and negative emotional responses among participants that included frequent occurrences of feelings of stress and uncertainty traced to a variety of external, internal, and contextual factors.

While many studies are conducted to evaluate student engagement in the face-to-face environment, less is known about its impact on student performance in online learning, especially in project management education. COVID-19 forced all education institutions around the world to rapidly change to the delivery of courses online, often with little or no expertise in this form of delivery. This article provides insight into student engagement in undergraduate and postgraduate project management programs delivered online during 2020–2021. Specific objectives are: (i) to identify the factors that impact student engagement; (ii) to examine the impact of engagement on performance and (iii) to investigate the role of self-motivation on engagement and performance. Data were collected from 285 students enrolled in eight randomly selected courses of the project management program at a university in Australia during the second half of 2020 via an online questionnaire. The results found that self-motivated students are likely to engage better with their peers. Through structural equation modeling, it was further identified that student engagement is significantly related to students' performance in online learning. The study provides numerous insights for teachers to increase student engagement, such as creating a learner-centered environment with clear expectations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100057"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721522000175/pdfft?md5=aa6effa383918b6ea01586103722f558&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721522000175-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80423376","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}
