Organizational purpose guides organizational decisions and actions beyond profit maximization, emphasizing social and environmental value. As firms increasingly operate in project-based structures to implement their strategies and shape their future, it is essential to understand how organizational purpose translates into projects and shapes project outcomes. Following the conceptualization of projects as both organizational activities and embedded temporary organizations, we assess how organizational purpose translates into project purpose and relates to project-level outcomes. Building on the societal theory of the firm, we test our hypotheses using a cross-industry sample of 336 projects nested in 95 portfolios. Our findings indicate that project purpose is associated with (but not isomorphic to) organizational purpose and positively mediates the association between organizational purpose and both project effectiveness and project managers’ job dedication. The translation of organizational purpose into project purpose is amplified by the formalization of portfolio management processes, employee voice behavior, and project characteristics reflecting its strategic relevance and visibility. Our study introduces the concept of organizational purpose into project management research and outlines its role at the project level, opening project management mechanisms to social and moral considerations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 4","pages":"Article 102842"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The framework proposes three strategic mindsets encompassing <em>human, object</em>, and <em>experience</em>, along with professional skillsets across <em>individual, project team</em>, and <em>organizational levels</em>. Beyond providing procedural guidance, this study contributes to management theory by extending the discourse on cross-functional collaboration and capability integration in technology-driven environments.

In Study 1, interviews with 21 senior project managers with over five years of mindfulness meditation experience, were analyzed through Gioia’s methodology. Analysis unveiled four dimensions: mindfulness, self-esteem, engagement, and happiness. Study 2 validated these findings with data from 620 project managers, confirming mindfulness’s positive impact on happiness and work engagement’s mediating role. Surprisingly, we found that mindfulness-engagement-happiness pathway is stronger for those with controlled self-esteem and humility. Our findings contribute to mindfulness-to-meaning theory, which emphasizes an individual’s ability to reframe experiences and sustain positive affect in challenging environments. We demonstrate that project managers with a grounded sense of self-esteem, who practice mindfulness, are better equipped to enhance their work engagement and happiness, thereby, managing their project teams better. Our findings also contribute by highlighting mindfulness as a metacognitive practice that deeply benefits project management contexts. We also offer practical implications for project managers in the Indian IT context towards improving well-being and productivity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 4","pages":"Article 102864"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on two qualitative case studies, we show that it is not project temporariness itself, but how actors frame and mobilize it in practice, that shapes whether project activities become connected to broader organizational processes. We identify two temporal mechanisms—working with temporariness (via temporal practices of reframing, adaptation, and elasticity) and dealing with temporariness (via rigidity and deferral)—that explain how project participants engage with project time and influence the organizational implications of temporary initiatives. By specifying these mechanisms and the conditions under which they foster or limit the emergence of microfoundations for organizational capability development, the study contributes to research on project temporality and temporary organizing, and offers insights into how temporary projects may support longer-term organizational adaptation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 4","pages":"Article 102853"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This dynamism leaves critical questions unresolved regarding the factors shaping firms' industry-university-research project portfolio reconfiguration decisions, thereby warranting further scholarly investigation. Grounded in the behavioral theory of the firm, this study frames below- and above-aspiration innovation performance feedback as key behavioral mechanisms explaining firms' choices in industry-university-research projects reconfigurations, while incorporating firm slack as a critical moderating variable. Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 152 Chinese pharmaceutical manufacturing firms, we employed Heckman two-stage regression analysis to test our theoretical predictions. Our findings reveal that below-aspiration innovation performance is positively associated with firms' preference for new partners during industry-university-research project portfolio reconfiguration, and slack resources amplify this positive relationship. Conversely, above-aspiration performance exhibits a negative association with firms' inclination toward new partners, and slack weakens this negative effect. This research advances the inter-organizational project literature and broadens the behavioral theory of the firm by incorporating firms' partner preference in the choice between new and existing partners in industry-university-research project portfolio reconfiguration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"44 4","pages":"Article 102862"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148202599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
