PROJE BAZLI İŞ BAŞARISINDA KİŞİLİK ÖZELLİKLERİ VE PROJE VATANDAŞLIK DAVRANIŞI İLİŞKİSİNİN TEORİK ROLÜ

Abstract

Proje bazlı organizasyonel başarının önemli faktörlerinden biri, çalışanların Kişilik Özelliklerine göre sergiledikleri Proje Vatandaşlık Davranışları (PVD) olabilir, çünkü kişilik özellikleri görev performansıyla önemli ölçüde ilişkilidir. Bu nedenle, bu makale PVD ve kişilik özellikleri dinamiklerini proje bazlı organizasyonel başarı açısından incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, araştırmaya ilişkin mevcut literatürün bulgularını özetlemek ve sentezlemek amacıyla bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle literatür taraması çalışması uygulanmıştır. Analizimiz doğrultusunda teorik olarak vicdanlı (sorunları çözmek için inisiyatif alan) ve dışa dönük (iş birliğine ve iletişime daha yatkın) çalışanların projeye özgü yardım davranışına daha yatkın olduğu ileri sürülebilir. Ayrıca projeye özgü yardım davranışı teorik zeminde proje başarısını da yordayabilir. Öte yandan, etkili proje yöneticilerinin sahip olması gereken nitelikler arasında “vicdanlılık” kişilik özelliğine karşılık gelen sonuç odaklılık ve 'problem çözme yeteneği' öne çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu özellikler kavramsal olarak projeye özgü yardım davranışı ve projeye uyum davranışıyla da örtüşmektedir. Sonuç olarak, kişilik özelliklerinin ve PVD 'nın proje bazlı organizasyonel başarı açısından rolünün ortaya konulması, literatürde çok ihtiyaç duyulan entegrasyonu sağlayabilir. Dolayısıyla bu teorik çalışma örgütsel davranış disiplinindeki bu boşluğu doldurarak literatüre anlamlı bir katkı sağlayacaktır.

THE THEORETICAL ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS AND PROJECT CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR RELATIONSHIP IN PROJECT-BASED BUSINESS SUCCESS

Abstract

One of the important factors for project-based organizational success may be the Project Citizenship Behaviors (PCBs) displayed by the employees according to their Personality Traits (PTs), because “PTs of Big-Five relate significantly to the performance of task. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the dynamics of PCB, and PTs in terms of project-based organizational success. In this context, a literature review study with a bibliometric analysis method was applied to summarize and synthesize the findings of existing literature on research. In line with our analysis, it can theoretically be argued that conscientious (taking initiative to solve problems) and extroverted (more prone to cooperation and communication) employees are more prone to project-specific helping behavior. Besides, the project-specific helping behavior may predict PS on the theoretical ground. On the other hand result orientation' and 'problem-solving ability' come to the fore among the qualities that effective project managers should have, which correspond to the conscientious personality trait. Besides, these features also conceptually overlap with project-specific helping behavior and project compliance behavior. In conclusion, revealing the role of personality traits and PCB in terms of project-based organizational success may provide much-needed integration in the literature. Therefore, this theoretical study will make a meaningful contribution to the literature by filling this gap in the discipline of organizational behavior
