Issue d'un contexte professionnel, cette thèse tente de mettre au jour, principalement à travers le concept d'activité et la médiation du processus d'autoconfrontation, l'émergence de questionnements majeurs au cœur de la pratique quotidienne des chargés d'insertion des travailleurs handicapés en centre de réadaptation professionnelle. Il s’agit de contribuer à montrer et comprendre comment ces professionnels interrogent leur posture dans leur travail d'insertion, pris entre des valeurs parfois contradictoires, entre marché du travail et accompagnement médico-social. / This thesis draws upon a professional context in an attempt to highlight the emergence of major queries central to the everyday duties of vocational project managers supporting disabled workers in vocational rehabilitation centers. The underlying approach is based on the concept of activity and mediation through the process of self-confrontation. The objective is to help demonstrate and understand how these vocational professionals, despite being caught between sometimes conflicting values, between the labour market and the medico-social support they provide, perceive their position as they strive to enable disabled persons to find employment.

The problem of cross-cultural complexities is a hindrance to effective multicultural team leadership across many industries. Cultural differences among project team members cause conflict, misunderstanding, and poor project performance. The absence of competent leaders is a problem because business in the future will rely increasingly on the use of multicultural project teams. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study was to explore the challenges faced and the cultural competencies needed by project managers leading multicultural software development project teams to successfully manage and resolve cross-cultural interpersonal conflict amongst project team members. The researcher collected data using semi-structured interviews with the population of 12 project managers recruited from the Project Management Institute’s credentialed project management professionals LinkedIn group. Through a cross-case synthesis, the researcher identified common themes and aligned them with the two study constructs: cross-cultural interpersonal conflict resolution and multicultural skills. The findings of the research revealed that the project managers perceived challenges including language barriers, cycles of mistrust, and competitive attitudes when managing multicultural teams. In order to mitigate these difficulties, the participants reported that project managers require excellent communication, negotiation, and emotional intelligence skills. The contributions of this study to the field of conflict analysis and resolution include highlighting common cross-cultural complexities encountered in multicultural teams, as well as effective methods of minimizing, eliminating, or mitigating these issues and the resulting interpersonal conflict.

The diploma thesis is focused on successful and unsuccessful IT projects with critical success factors detail. The purpose of the diploma thesis is obtaining a list of critical success factors in the theoretical part. The list could be interesting for success in IT projects. The list of critical success factors will be subject of examination in the practical part. Firstly I will compile a questionnaire which will contain all critical success factors from the theory. In the next step, I will meet with IT project managers who have got a lots of experiences in the branch. After that I will have completed questionnaires by IT project managers and I will evaluate critical success factors. These critical success factors will be compare with the theory. Finally I will create table with the most important critical success factors according to IT project managers.

As more organisations apply project management to perform projects in order to deliver high quality products and services, the demand for project managers grows, and thus more research is required on the effectiveness of project managers (Crawford, 2005). Hence, this research project aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the effectiveness of project managers within project-oriented organisations.The purpose of this research project is to fill the research gap by bringing the practical perspective of the effectiveness of project managers, from different informants in various fields, into the theoretical perspective in the form of a conceptual model (i.e. the combination of the constructs: core categories, categories, and concepts) through in-depth interviews and the grounded theory method. This qualitative study attempts to provide a fresh insight into the leading and managing projects, and hence into the effectiveness of project managers in project-oriented organisations.This research project is one of the very rare studies investigating the matter of an effective project manager, particularly within project-oriented organisations. It is also one of the very few studies investigating the role of leadership in the effectiveness of project managers, particularly within project-oriented organisations. In addition, it is one of the very rare studies providing the conceptual model as the criteria for project managers to become effective within project-oriented organisations. Furthermore, it is one of the very rare studies providing the practical model as the tool to evaluate the effectiveness of project managers within project-oriented organisations. The research project provides an insightful understanding of the notion of leadership, management, and emotional intelligence, and uncovers their roles in the effectiveness of project managers within project-oriented organisations.The research project highlights the value of qualitative inquiry for exploring individuals’ perceptions and lived experiences, as well as investigating phenomena which have been relatively under-investigated to date. It also highlights the usefulness of grounded theory, which builds concepts grounded in empirical data.

Bakgrund: Att företag bedriver projekt har blivit allt vanligare under de senaste årtiondena.Projekt beskrivs ofta utifrån den tidsbegränsning som omgärdar det där projektet är uniktsamtidigt som det är en del av företagets historia och den framtida förmågan att bedrivaprojektarbete. Det har visat sig svårt att styra projekt med utgångspunkt i de modeller somskapats för traditionella organisationer och därför finns det behov av ökad kunskap kring hurstyrning kan förstås i förhållande till projekt. Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att bidra till ökad förståelse kring vilka likheter ochskillnader det finns i vad som leder till förändring i olika projekt och hur styrningen avprojektet kan förstås utifrån företagets styrsystem. Metod: Studien bygger på en undersökning av två projekt och de företag projekten är en delav. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer använts för insamlingav data. Slutsats: Styrningens förändring i projekt kan inte enbart förklaras genom att studeranutida och situationsbaserade variabler. Nutida och situationsbaserade variabler är viktigaför att förstå varför styrningen förändras men genom att studera företagens och projektenshistoria kan styrningens förändring bättre förklaras. Den inverkan som projektledaren ochprojektmedlemmarna får på styrningens förändring är viktig för att förklara varförstyrningen förändras utifrån olika utgångspunkter i olika projekt. / Background: The fact that companies carry out projects have become more common inrecent decades. Projects are often described based on the time limit that surrounds theproject where the project is unique while it is part of the company's history and the futureability to conduct project work. It has proved difficult to control projects based on the modelscreated for traditional organizations and there is a need for increased knowledge on howcontrol can be understood in relation to projects. Aim: The aim of this study is to contribute to increased understanding of the similarities anddifferences in what leads to change in different projects and how the management of projectscan be understood from the company's control system. Methodology: This study is based on two projects and the companies the projects are partof. The study has a qualitative approach in which semistructured interviews were used fordata collection. Conclusions: Management's change in projects can not only be explained by studyingcurrent and situational variables. Current and situational variables are important tounderstand why management changes, but by studying the history of companies andprojects, the change of management can be better explained. The impact of the projectmanager and project members on the change of control is important in explaining whymanagement changes based on different starting points in different projects.
