“…Numerous studies have explored the relationship between transformational leadership and project success (e.g., Iqbal, Khan, & Sang, 2015;Frimpong, Hongyi, & Nubuor, 2014), and the known effect of the commitment to project outcomes (Korzaan, 2009;Ghazinejad, Hussein, & Zidane, 2018;Pham, Nguyen, Tu, Pham, & Le, 2019). However, there is no evidence yet on the moderation role of project managers' commitment to project success.…”

The paper aims to examine the relationship of emotional intelligence on the project success, the causal relationship between emotional intelligence and project success, and also investigate the influence of emotional intelligence and the mediating role of transformational leadership as well as the moderating effect of organization commitment on the relationship between emotional intelligence and project success. Cross sessional research is applied to collect the data in this study. By applying quantitative research and survey question, the study collects 325 respondents who are the project managers. Snow-ball sampling method is used to distribute the questionnaires by face to face survey (68% of respondents) and online survey (32% of respondents). The collected data is analyzing by applying partial least square (PLS-SEM) via software SmartPLS 3.0.The result shows that the emotional intelligence and the transformational leadership making the project even more successful as the mediation actor. Furthermore, the project commitment also has the moderator effect between transformational leadership and project success. With the result of study, project managers should be aware of the importance of emotional intelligence and their commitment to the ability to manage projects successfully. A successful project is a combination of many actors, the most critical actor is the leader of the project.

“…Researchers cooperate in networks of various structures (Clemente-Gallardo et al 2019), which are largely independent of the research institution in which they are placed. An important feature of teams on research projects is the mentality of the research workers; given the way they are evaluated (to a large extent based on bibliometric indicators), they compete with their colleagues (Betta et al 2017;Garcia and Sanz-Menéndez 2004), and are often more focused on their personal goals than on those of the project as a whole, which often makes team work and project implementation difficult (Ghazinejad et al 2018). This fact also means that research projects are always, to a certain degree, autonomous, and thus have to be able to define their success criteria and strategy while taking into account the policy of the parent organization, e.g., the public university.…”

Application of Simulation to Selecting Project Strategy for Autonomous Research Projects at Public Universities

The definition of the success of research projects implemented at public universities is far from being unequivocal. The success of a research project has to be in line with both the public university’s and the funding institution’s policies, as well as with the personal objectives and ambitions of the researchers. Once the success definition for the research project has been determined, the strategy of implementation must be defined. The omission of this step may result in effort lost (public money, time, enthusiasm, etc.) after being directed toward objectives which do not fit with either the public university’s or the funding agency’s policies, nor with the researchers’ personal objectives. This paper discusses this problem and proposes a model where simulation is used to choose the project strategy that best fits the selected research project success definition in the context of the policy of a given public university, the preferences of its researchers, and the policy of the funding agencies. The model is illustrated by means of a case study—a real world research project implemented at a public university in a European country, where the policy of subsidizing public universities has been changing both very regularly and in a highly unpredictable manner. It is shown how various project strategies can lead to multiple project outcomes, which are then evaluated in different ways depending on the point of view of public university policy or of the researchers, the funding agencies, and/or society. The main conclusion is that applying simulation to a research project before it starts may contribute significantly to the optimization of time, effort, and resource usage with the objective of project success maximization in the context of public university policy and the objectives of the researchers.

“…Results from social research (Section 2) show that psychological safety and openness can positively affect a team's ideation process in the long run. Potential use cases are student projects, research projects, surgical teams or other work groups, where these psychological factors strongly influence project success and the team's motivation and efficiency [5][6][7]. The main research question then becomes:…”

“…Together, they create a state of openness where people can freely communicate their thoughts. Here we understand openness as a transparency in sharing task-relevant information, which facilitates the alignment of goals and expectations within the team [5]. To reach this state, the members should not encounter problems communicating and sharing information with one another, "breaking the ice" of the communication barrier [10].…”

Stimulating ideation in new teams with the mobile game Grapplenauts

Working in teams is a common approach to solving problems. However, new teams often suffer from a form of cold start, by which individual members are not yet comfortable expressing their ideas. Previous work has shown that ideation can be stimulated by promoting a sense of psychological safety among team members and instilling an ambiance of openness, and that games are helpful at establishing such social bonds. However, most such games only partially target psychological safety or openness, and often rely on the expertise of a facilitator, who may be unavailable for many teams. The ubiquity of mobile platforms opens up many opportunities for overcoming such drawbacks. We developed the mobile game Grapplenauts, a novel serious game directly focused on psychological safety and openness, that generates a beneficial atmosphere for ideation and does not require any facilitator. In Grapplenauts, team players have to gradually work together towards a team-wide goal, first in pairs and then among pairs, which has shown to be quite successful in promoting communication and collaboration. Play testing has shown that Grapplenauts was perceived as a fun, engaging and challenging collaborative game. In addition, results of a preliminary user study are cautiously optimistic about the success of the game in improving the perceived atmosphere withinnewly-formed teams.
