The Influence of IT Project Manager Competencies on Team Commitment
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study addresses two questions: (1) which Information Technology (IT) project manager competencies influence team commitment? and (2) how much these competencies impact team commitment? The main objective is to propose and evaluate a measuring instrument to identify the IT project manager competencies that are necessary to build and sustain team commitment in IT projects. We adopted mixed methods as the research methodology. Firstly, we did an exploratory and qualitative research. Then, we did a quantitative research. An academic contribution is the new scale designed to identify competencies that are more relevant to develop team commitment. Besides that, the research offers a conceptual model that can be used in future studies. This research also presents pertinent implications to the practice of project management in IT settings. For instance, organizations can use the measuring instrument to evaluate project managers, to assess organizational climate or to structure training programs for their employees.
