20.500.12556/DKUM-97240 Exploring the link between project management approach and project success dimensions: A structural model approach Aligning the project management approach to a particular project is considered to be essential for project success. Based on the literature review, in this research, the project management approach is analyzed through differentiation between agile and traditional approaches within the specific managerial aspects. This research aimed to contrast these two project management approaches and explore their impact on different project success dimensions. The research was conducted on a sample of 227 project management professionals worldwide, using the PLS-SEM method. Research results denounced that, in most cases, the traditional approach is applied in project initiation and planning. It has proven to provide higher-level od project success, while, within all other managerial aspects considered in this research, they gravitate more towards the agile approach. By combining agile and traditional approaches, organizations can take advantage of some benefits of agile development without abandoning the stability provided by a traditional approach. The study is relevant for project management practitioners tailoring down the success-oriented project management approach and developing project management contingency theory for academics. project management approach agile traditional project success structural‐model approach pristop k vodenju projektov agilnost tradicionalnost uspeh projekta strukturno-modelni pristop true false true Univerza v Mariboru Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://apem-journal.org/Archives/2021/Abstract-APEM16-1_099-111.html Članek v reviji 2026-02-24 15:57:10 2026-02-24 15:57:10 2026-03-11 09:13:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 str. 99-111 no. 1 Vol. 16 Mar. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2020-01-31 2020-02-13 2021-03-26 658.5 269378563 10.14743/apem2021.1.387 1854-6250 APEM16-1_099-111.pdf APEM16-1_099-111.pdf 1 CCA3B9BBEFD47776D241A1061469AAC3 82aa792c78c81b54db4eeee373b54c07a2f3e9404735499430cee9ab705bf0ee 6328bb20-1191-11f1-a1a6-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=203790 https://apem-journal.org/Archives/2021/Abstract-APEM16-1_099-111.html 0 6ca7ea9b-1191-11f1-a1a6-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=203791 Fakulteta za strojništvo Advances in production engineering & management 0 0 0
