20.500.12556/DKUM-86496 Enhancing the performance of high-growth small- and medium-sized enterprises through effective project- management processes and stakeholder engagement a systems perspective This study examines the impact of project management practices on high-growth Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (HG SMEs) from a systems perspective, utilizing Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and data from a diverse SME sample. It investigates the intricate relationships among project management system support, project management processes, stakeholder involvement, project management success, project success, and HG SME growth. Our findings highlight the substantial positive influence of project management processes and stakeholder engagement on project management success. These factors subsequently contribute significantly to both project success and the overall growth of HG SMEs. Notably, project management system support does not exhibit a substantial influence on these success factors. Furthermore, our research uncovers important indirect effects. Project management processes indirectly impact both project success and HG SME growth, underscoring their central role. Similarly, stakeholder involvement indirectly influences HG SME growth through its impact on project success, emphasizing its significance. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by emphasizing the critical roles of project management processes, stakeholder engagement, and project success as drivers of SME growth. These insights have valuable implications for SME managers, project leaders, and policymakers, highlighting the essential nature of effective project management in shaping the growth trajectory of SMEs. project management project success SME growth stakeholder engagement projectmanagement processes high-growth SMEs systems perspective SEM projektni management uspešnost projektov rast MSP vključevanje zainteresiranih strani procesi projektnega managementa hitro rastoča MSP sistemska perspektiva SEM true true true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2023-12-05 14:58:29 2023-12-13 10:59:13 2023-12-14 03:07:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 str. 1-20 no. 511 Vol. 11 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2023-09-13 2023-10-09 2023-10-12 005.8 168090627 10.3390/systems11100511 2079-8954 systems-11-00511.pdf systems-11-00511.pdf 1 B6E3D89AD1740F6D59BB59D420CC33FF ef9a50f77fcd419f3829af5672f4ca7cc537dbd2a23252778cad51cd4ba16d9b 750a9e8b-9376-11ee-add4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=174638 https://www.mdpi.com/2079-8954/11/10/511 1 5e28d806-9376-11ee-add4-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=174637 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta 0 0 0
