A quantitative study was conducted among 119 respondents in Brazil. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling. The results show a positive and significant relationship between emotional intelligence and the project manager's interpersonal skills and between skills and the success at project management. The influence of emotional intelligence in the success at project management is completely mediated by the project manager's interpersonal skills. The proposed model suggests that there is not a direct effect of emotional intelligence on the success at project management. This effect occurs indirectly, via the interpersonal skills of the project manager.","PeriodicalId":38056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Organisation and Management","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74654299","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}

As such, a systematic literature review was conducted, with selection by title, keywords, database selection, reading, content analysis, and adherence to the proposed objective. Twelve factors were consolidated, resulting from an analysis that encompassed 32 market segments in 25 countries. The originality of this study lies in the consolidation of several factors, identified in the SLR, related to four processes, in a single document. As an academic contribution, it may be as a reference for new studies on the subject. Finally, the premature identification of influencing factors in organisational processes can contribute to the deployment of actions that may or may not enhance such factors, as appropriate, giving greater robustness to the strategic decisions and the work of the teams.","PeriodicalId":38056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Organisation and Management","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78926294","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}

It was motivated by challenges that project champions encounter when developing a business case as identified in literature and practically observed during consultancy assignments. The PDF comprise of three tools; the project domain map (PDmap), used to systematically identify key statements of a project concept and which are then populated in a matrix called the PDmat. Based on the PDguide, the statements are then systematically and logically used in writing a business case narrative. As long as a client's need culminates in establishing or improving a service, the PDF is useful in three ways: provides an easy entry point for initiating projects; allows the inclusion a mechanism for measuring project results; and guides the systematic writing of project statements that are logically linked to form a well-articulated narrative of a business case.","PeriodicalId":38056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Organisation and Management","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88786748","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}

This paper encapsulates scattered research streams concentrating on integration and adds to the perspectives of integration studies towards inter-organisational project network landscapes. The adopted research method is a systematic literature review through a qualitative content analysis, which provides a conceptual framework on integration in project networks. The framework includes eight concepts of integration in project networks. The developed framework improves understanding of how academic literature examines and comprehends integration in inter-organisational project networks. Furthermore, this paper shows that the research area is emerging and has until now focused mainly on construction and infrastructure sectors in the project management literature. The findings highlight consistent streams of discussion, gaps in knowledge, and propose a need for further research. There are a limited number of efforts towards creating a comprehensive understanding of how integration is presented and takes place in practice in complex project networks. This paper points out collaborative practices as the centre of academic attention. In addition, it reveals a scarce attention on exhaustive themes such as integration governance. This study creates a framework and common language for further use for academics and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":38056,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Organisation and Management","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78091941","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}
