Abstract
The fit between project managers' personality and management style and the types of projects they manage is crucial for projects' success. This exploratory interdisciplinary study focuses on the relationships among three aspects: projects' types (profiles), project managers' personality, and projects' success. Based on the person-organization fit theory it was hypothesized that a project with a particular profile needs a manager with fitting personality traits in order to achieve optimal performance and success. A questionnaire, consisting of three parts was used: (1) classifying projects along the four dimensions (novelty, complexity, technology, and pace [NCTP]); (2) focusing on project managers' personality traits relevant to these project dimensions; and (3) assessing the projects' success from several perspectives. Preliminary results lend tentative support to the study's hypothesis.
