Successful project management plays an important role in contemporary business. To accomplish successful project delivery, a project manager has to do more than simply work within predefined project management constructs and techniques. One major additional element is team motivation, but understanding how motivation works from the project manager's perspective remains unclear. To gain further insight, the Project Management Institute (PMI) online research network was used to discover currently held perceptions regarding team motivation by project management professionals. Factors that cause low levels of team motivation were explored and perceptions regarding successful motivation techniques were measured. In addition, the study introduced the project stages concept into team motivation theory by assessing perceptions regarding the relation of team motivation factors based on project stage. / A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Communication in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science. / Spring Semester, 2007. / December 8, 2006. / Team, Project Stages, Project Management, Motivation / Includes bibliographical references. / Jonathan Adams, Professor Directing Thesis; John DuBard, Committee Member; Philip Grise, Committee Member.
