摘要

In today’s competitive market, to manage projects effectively is crucial for the success of any organization. This paper focuses on the financial sector, a domain where the complexity and need for regulatory compliance underscore the significance of adopting project management. Employing a multilevel approach, the study investigates factors influencing project success or failure in transnational financial institutions, examining micro-level (project outcomes), meso-level (human factors and the project manager’s entrepreneurial mindset), and macro-level (planning quality, goal setting, and project complexity) elements. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (FsQCA), insights from 40 project managers across three Spanish financial entities are analyzed. These entities, characterized by project temporariness, provide a unique perspective on project management in Spain’s financial sector. The research fills a literature gap by exploring the complex interplay of factors affecting project success or failure. The findings offer insights into conditions impacting project success, enhancing organizational competitiveness.
