Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relative importance of project managers' attitudes towards their project and their leadership competences for achieving project success. Leadership competences were assessed as emotional, managerial, and intellectual competences (EQ, MQ, IQ, respectively) using the leadership dimensions questionnaire.

Abstract: Interest in stakeholders has grown considerably since Freeman’s (1984) seminal work Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach was published. Over 100 papers concerning what has become termed 'stakeholder theory' were published by 1995 alone (Donaldson and Preston 1995, p.65), with many more published since. Increasingly, stakeholders have been referred to in mainstream media and government communications, not just in academic texts (Friedman and Miles 2002).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the relationship between a project manager's background characteristics and certain characteristics of the projects he is asked to manage and examine the impact of this decision process by relating project manager experience and project characteristics to measures of project performance.
Abstract: The study reported focuses first on the relationship between a project manager's background characteristics and certain characteristics of the projects he is asked to manage. The impact of this decision process is then examined by relating project manager experience and project characteristics to measures of project performance. The findings indicate that organizations select their oldest and most experienced project managers to direct large, high-priority projects. Performance is then superior without relation to the project manager's total experience, but in relation to the high priority given larger projects. With the exception of a measure of “growth in responsibility,” none of the measures of the project manager's experience were found to bear any direct relationship to project performance.
