The dependence upon context of project critical success factors: test of the contingency hypothesis and effects of technological uncertainty and collectivism culture (2019)
Journal Article
Chipulu, M., & Vahidi, R. (2020). The dependence upon context of project critical success factors: test of the contingency hypothesis and effects of technological uncertainty and collectivism culture. Production Planning and Control, 31(15), 1261-1275. https://doi.org/10.1080/09537287.2019.1702733

Although the relationship between critical success factors (CSFs) and project performance is established, evidence regarding the dependence on the context of CSFs is patchy. To advance this field, we conduct two complementary studies. Study 1 examin...
