Abstract

As project teams become more global and culturally diverse, it is important for project managers to understand how various project management practices are implemented in different countries. We use hierarchical linear modelling to explore variation in project management practices among seven countries using GLOBE dimensions of these countries to understand patterns. Of the nine GLOBE dimensions, two particular elements had an impact on project management practices. Performance orientation has a significant positive influence and gender egalitarianism had a significant negative impact on the adoption of project management practices. Practical implications include that for those two specific GLOBE factors, executives and project team leaders should use such knowledge to anticipate how they will impact on the natural tendencies of project team members in various countries, Further, when operating projects with international team membership, such as global virtual teams, this study illuminates that some cultural differences might lead to differences in style and practice of project team members, requiring cognizant and careful team leadership. The article contributes to theory by showing that only some and not all aspects of national culture impact on project management practices that are theoretically deemed attractive as part of project management’s body of knowledge.

跨国项目管理实践的变化

摘要

随着项目团队变得更加全球化和文化多样化,项目经理了解如何在不同国家实施各种项目管理实践非常重要。我们使用分层线性模型来探索七个国家之间项目管理实践的变化,使用这些国家的 GLOBE 维度来理解模式。在 GLOBE 的九个维度中,有两个特定元素对项目管理实践产生了影响。绩效导向具有显着的积极影响,而性别平等主义对项目管理实践的采用具有显着的负面影响。实际意义包括对于这两个特定的 GLOBE 因素,高管和项目团队负责人应该利用这些知识来预测他们将如何影响各个国家的项目团队成员的自然倾向。此外,在运营具有国际团队成员身份的项目时,例如全球虚拟团队,本研究阐明了一些文化差异可能会导致项目团队成员在风格和实践上的差异,需要有认识和谨慎的团队领导。这篇文章对理论做出了贡献,表明只有国家文化的某些方面而不是所有方面对项目管理实践产生影响,这些实践在理论上被认为是项目管理知识体系的一部分。这项研究表明,一些文化差异可能会导致项目团队成员的风格和实践差异,需要有认识和谨慎的团队领导。这篇文章对理论做出了贡献,表明只有国家文化的某些方面而不是所有方面对项目管理实践产生影响,这些实践在理论上被认为是项目管理知识体系的一部分。这项研究表明,一些文化差异可能会导致项目团队成员的风格和实践差异,需要有认识和谨慎的团队领导。这篇文章对理论做出了贡献,表明只有国家文化的某些方面而不是所有方面对项目管理实践产生影响,这些实践在理论上被认为是项目管理知识体系的一部分。
