TY - JOUR AB - Project management literature frequently refers to the role of the project executive sponsor, but does not address in any great depth the factors contributing to effective project sponsorship, a role increasingly associated with project success. Most research about key project roles addresses either structural or behavioral factors with a definite emphasis on the former. This research attempts to bridge an emerging structural-behavioral schism using an approach based on Grounded Theory, involving in-depth interviews with senior project managers and project directors, all of whom were involved with the management of internal infrastructure projects.
