“…Future efforts should focus on increasing awareness of international standards and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Older research at the national level confirms that this is not the case and that there is not enough support from support providers (Kostalova et al, 2015;Kostalova et al, 2017). Recent research focused on the knowledge and use of project management tools in practice, carried out among project managers of projects financed by EU Funds (Kostalova, et al, 2023) confirmed that awareness of individual international standards of project management at the national level is relatively low (the most well-known was the PRINCE2 standard), the use of these standards in practice was even lower.…”

“…In the literature on management sciences, there are positions on the issues concerning management and measuring the efficiency of various types of projects. Among them are, for example, considerations regarding project management methods for projects co-financed by EU funds (Kostalova et al, 2017), proposals for methods for evaluating the efficiency of public, investment, IT and other projects. In these publications, little attention is devoted to the issue of project social efficiency measurement.…”

Motivation: In the past, economic efficiency was a key criterion for assessing different types of activities undertaken by various organizations. It has been noticed that acquiring economic efficiency cannot be the only goal, and efficiency notion has many meanings. Processes and projects should be economically effective, at the same time being harmful to different social interests. There are difficulties in understanding and conceptualization of social efficiency notion in management sciences research, and, in particular, in the area of project management. Aim: This research aims to contribute to filling the gap concerning a conceptualization of a social efficiency notion in management sciences, with particular emphasis on the field of project management. Results: Achieving paper goal may simplify communication in the scientific community using the social efficiency concept, exchange of scientific information, further work related to operationalization of this concept and development methods for its measurement. Further work on social efficiency evaluation methods may facilitate considerations regarding the transition from the social efficiency notion phase to the concept phase and the idea of using social points for estimating obtained social effects. This opens the way for the development of more objective measurement principles and methods that do not require monetization of social impact, which is now commonly used e.g. in models like Social Return on Investment.

“…Especially in previous PPs, the issue of project management was not prioritized by subsidy providers, although it was generally recommended, but the actual use in practice was insufficient (Gazda et al, 2011;Kostalova et al, 2017;Zurga, 2018). There are some improvement activities like courses of project management focused on ESIF financed projects, studying programs or subjects at universities (Stanickova, 2016), but it is a question, if it is sufficient.…”

Support from European structural and investment funds has a large impact and significantly contributes to the reduction of differences between regions within the European Union. In the case of the Czech Republic the European Union helped from 2004 to 2021 to development of the country with amount of 1,700 billion CZK. This support is mainly offered in the form of subsidies by which individual projects have been supported. 164,537 projects have been implemented in the period from 2004 to the end of the year 2021. In such case of large number of projects financed from public resources is appropriate to manage them effectively and finished successfully. International standards of project management recommend the useful methods, tools and procedures leading to higher efficiency and success. The main goal of the article is to evaluate the knowledge and usage of project management international standards in the organizations implementing the projects financed or co-financed from European structural and investment funds. 171 respondents mainly project managers of this type of projects answer in questionnaire survey. They hardly know international project management standards, and if they do know them, they hardly use them in practice, with the exception of the PRINCE2 methodology, in which they have some certified employees.
