Purpose- This study examines the concepts of organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behaviours and learning organization characteristics from a project organization point of view; aims to explain how the behaviours and characteriscs in this context would affect achieving the objectives of the project. Based on these results it is also aimed to create a model that would maximize success in project management.

Methodology- A broad literatur survey has been conducted on the organizational citizenship behaviour, learning organizations and organizational commitment concepts from project management point of view. The results of researches that are directy related to the topic have been put together. At the last stage, research findings were synthesized and a model is developed based on the dimesions that positvely influence success in the project management.

Findings- In addition to knowing and implementing the right tools and techniques, it has become clear that the presence of human factors such as stakeholders’ commitment to the project, learning organization, and project citizenship behaviors also play a very important role in achieving the goals of the project successfully.

Conclusion- Recently, practitioners focus more on the tools and techniques used in the project management and the competencies of the team. But the human factors in project management remain neglected. This study draws attention to the shortcomings of these elements, which have been overlooked in traditional project management approaches, which are currently being implemented intensively. Drawing attention to these elements through this study, a model is developed which could be beneficial for the academicians as well as professional project managers.

PROJE YÖNETİMİNDE MAKSİMUM BAŞARI İÇİN ROL DIŞI DAVRANIŞLARA DAYALI BİR MODEL ÖNERİSİ

Öz

Amaç- Bu çalışma örgütsel bağlılık, örgütsel vatandaşlık ve öğrenen organizasyon karakteristikleri kavramlarını proje organizasyonu bakış açısından inceleyerek; bu kapsamdaki davranış ve karakteristiklerin proje yönetiminde hayat bulması durumunda projenin başarısını nasıl etkileyeceğinin açıklanmasını ve bu sonuçlara dayanarak proje yönetiminde başarıyı maksimize edecek bir model ortaya konulmasını amaçlamaktadır.

Yöntem- Proje yönetimi açısından örtügsel vatandaşlık, öğrenen organizasyonlar ve örgütsel bağlılık kavramları üzerine geniş bir literatur araştırması yapılarak konu ile ilgili doğrudan ilişkili olan araştırmaların sonuçları bir araya getirilmiştir. Son aşamada ise araştırma bulguları sentezlenerek proje yönetiminde başarıyı pozitif etkileyen boyutlar üzerinden bir model önerisi yapılmıştır.

Bulgular- Projelerin hedeflerine başarı ile ulaşmasında, doğru araçları ve teknikleri bilip etkin uygulamanın yanında paydaşların projeye ve proje organizasyonuna olan bağlılıkları, öğrenen organizasyon olabilmesi ve proje vatandaşlığı davranışları gibi insani unsurların varlığının da çok önemli rol oynadığı ortaya çıkmıştır.

Sonuç- Son dönemlerde araç ve teknikler, proje ekibi üyelerinin teknik yetkinlikleri üzerine yoğunlaşılmakta, proje yönetiminde insani unsurlar ikinci planda kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile günümüzde yoğun olarak uygulanmakta olan geleneksel proje yönetim yaklaşımların gözardı edilen bu unsurlara ilişkin eksikliklere dikkat çekilmiştir. Geliştirilen model hem hem bu alanda çalışma yapan akademisyenlerin ve hem de profesyonel proje yöneticilerinin istifadesine sunulmuştur.
