Abstract

Projects depend on the effectiveness of teams to be successful. In the past, researchers studied team characteristics in an attempt to find successful combinations of traits that promote team performance. This study examines the relation of the organizational traits of centralization, formalization and maturity to the performance of the team. These organizational influences on the environment are related to overall project team performance, especially the traits of centralization and maturity. The results of the study suggest that organizational structure must be considered when fostering successful projects, particularly those related to planning and authority.
