Project success criteria: an exploratory study on the influence of the variables project typology and type of stakeholder

In this study, we aim to understand the influence of the variables project typology and type of stakeholder on project success criteria. We used a quantitative and qualitative methodological approach which encompasses a review of the literature followed by a field research analysis using hybrid research strategy. The research occurred in a company whose business includes integrated solutions in engineering and infrastructure in various industrial sectors. Data were collected from projects at 54 organizations and from a survey with 59 prcject managers and other professionals involved in prcject management activities. The results showed a significant influence of the type of project in the success criteria level of importance, but the same did not occur regarding the type of stakeholder.
