![]() ![]() This study is the first to investigate project managers’ self-perception and compare it to their perception by other project actors. The study indicates a change in scenario in the past few decades, and turning to sociology, psychology and practical philosophy, we alert that self-overestimation may lead to hubris and narcissism, two undesirable traits in project managers. Subgroup analysis indicate that project managers consider themselves critical to project success. Results show that there was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of the perception of the project manager’s relevance to project success. Data were analyzed using parametrical procedures. ![]() We surveyed 740 project management actors on the relevance of 35 factors considered critical for project success, including the project manager. In 2005, Turner and Müller elaborated some hypotheses in an attempt to explain the omission of the project manager as a critical success factor, raising pertinent questions on their self-perception and their perception by project actors. This interdisciplinary study aims to investigate project managers’ perceptions on their own relevance to the success of a project, and later compare these results to other project actors' perceptions. ![]()
