How success and failure factors in projects are ascertained reveals that there is a
relationship between
determinants of success and failure in projects and individual or organizational factors. On
analyzing the attitude survey, the authors note that most people define success and failure factors
in accordance with the same behavior, as regards the affirmative ones: Enjoy taking risks, Company
rules are always to be followed, it is important that people conform to company norms in order to
reach company goals and People will achieve organizational goals without being pushed.
Figure 3 shows the scale of agreement and disagreement concerning the affirmatives of the attitude
survey. The majority strongly agrees and slightly agrees enjoy taking risks, comply with the
company rules and norms and they have divided opinions about the pressure to achieve organizational
goals. This type of attitude shows the conservative behavior that implies they make judgments by
using the most conservative factors of success (the requirements of schedule, cost, quality and
scope) and failure (non-fulfillment of the success factors determines
failure in projects).
