THE EFFECTS OF THE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON THE PERCEIVED PROJECT PERFORMANCE: A RESEARCH IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the perception of the critical success factor and the perception of the project performance of the design engineers working in the Turkish defense and aviation industry projects.

Methodology: During the data collection phase of the study, 211 design engineers were interviewed face to face and a questionnaire was applied.

Findings: Correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between perceived critical success factors and perceived project performance. In the regression analysis, a significant relationship has been found between factors of troubleshooting, project mission, client acceptance, technical task and perceived project performance.

Originality: This study is the first attempt in literature to examine the relationship between perceived critical success factors and perceived project performance in research and development projects in Turkish defense and aviation industry, as far as it is known.
