Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The concept of project management has evolved tremendously over the years. In addition to the technostructure changes that have taken place, the recent pandemic and sociocultural events and subsequent reflection that has occurred have impacted how people live and work. The purpose of this research study was to investigate the factors that create a culture of modern-day multigenerational project managers to be fully emotionally engaged when managing and leading organization projects. One hundred twenty practicing project managers working in a variety of industries representing different countries were interviewed. The findings identify the top six most frequently cited factors. The paper then explores ways to assist organizational leaders in design work environments that support modern-day multigenerational project managers to be fully emotionally engaged when managing and leading organization projects.
