| Abstract: | After an extensive exploration of non-profit organizations (NPOs), it has become evident that the success rate of their managed projects remains low. A key contributing factor is the lack of awareness regarding the crucial role of project management competences in achieving project success. This research endeavours to bridge this awareness gap by delving into the impact of leadership, specifically through Leader-Leader exchange (LLX) and shared values as specific leadership competences, project team result orientation, and personal communication -critical project management competences- on project success within NPOs. The thesis is organized into ten chapters to systematically address the relationship between these competences and project success. After the introduction, in the second chapter, we revisit pivotal success factors in NPO projects. The third chapter presents a mixed research methodological approach, mainly based on structural equation modelling, the bootstrap method, applied to data collected from an international survey conducted between March and May 2023. This survey targeted over 100 NPOs, involving 205 participants. Complementing the quantitative approach, focus groups and ethnographic interviews, as part of the qualitative research method, were conducted to validate and enhance the findings. The fourth chapter describes the assumptions, limitations and restrictions. The fifth chapter summarises the feedback from practice and its discussion. The core findings, presented in the sixth chapter of the dissertation, underscore the significance of leadership and shared values in enhancing project success within NPOs. Notably, personal communication emerges as a crucial moderating variable that amplifies the impact of leadership and shared values on project success. A noteworthy research finding is that the result orientation competence of the project team exhibits a higher influence on project success compared to the positive effect of the project manager's leadership competence. These results, including the development of a research model applied for the first time to NPOs, contribute to valuable insights into the dynamics of project management within NPOs and offer strategic implications for enhancing their project success. Chapters seven, eight and nine describe respectively the discussion of the results, the conclusion and the contribution to science. Chapter ten addresses some recommendations for practice and directions for further research. |
