National culture and perceptions of success and failure in projects
Ojiako, G.U.; Chipulu, M.
Abstract
This study examines how national cultural perspectives impact on the perceptions of project practitioners. It aims to contribute to understanding of how project practitioners perceive success and failure and, how they make wider project decisions. Data from 707 practitioners were analysed using exploratory data analysis and structural equation modelling. National culture and cultural exposure were found to impact on the level of importance that practitioners assign to individual project success and failure factors. It was also found that the dominant culture in the country of residence influences how project success and project failure are perceived. The originality and value of this study are that it undertakes a simultaneous analysis of inter-related project success and project failure factors.
