Abstract

The classic approach to explain project success has reached its limits. By introducing a new framework, which is called "Strategic Project Leadership," Shenhar (2000), questions these limits and extends the borders to a modern approach of project management in the new economy. One major dimension of strategic project leadership is "project spirit". Project spirit deals with excitement, passion and enthusiasm, as a driving force, which energizes teams, unleashes talent, and enhances project performance. Our objective is to define the concept of project spirit that includes project culture, commitment, citizenship behavior, and satisfaction and to provide project manager with guidelines for managing project spirit.
