%0 Journal Article %T An Operational ¡¯Project Management Culture¡¯ Framework (Part 1) %A Yvonne du Plessis %A Crystal Hoole %J South African Journal of Human Resource Management %D 2006 %I AOSIS OpenJournals %R 10.4102/sajhrm.v4i1.79 %X The aim of this research is to develop an operational ¡®project management culture¡¯ framework, which can be used by project managers and organisations to support project work. One of the main causes of project failure is attributed to a non-supportive project management culture in organisations. A triangulation method is followed inclusive of a thorough literature review, a survey questionnaire and a concept mapping process. A project management culture framework with descriptive elements, based on Deal and Kennedy¡¯s (1982) definition of organisational culture, comprising of four dimensions i.e. project process; people in projects; project systems and structure, and project environment was developed. %K Project management culture %U http://www.sajhrm.co.za/index.php/sajhrm/article/view/79
