Investigating the Relationship between Project Success and Entrepreneurial Performance within Project-oriented Organisations

Organisations frequently encounter entrepreneurial pressures when identifying and pursuing new project initiatives. Although the practical execution of project management differs from entrepreneurial activity, both domains rely on coordinating time, scope, and resource constraints within temporary, goal-driven settings. This conceptual overlap, however, has often limited the development of distinct knowledge streams in each field. Despite the clear presence of project-related practices in entrepreneurial work, contemporary research addressing the intersection between the two domains remains scarce. Investigating entrepreneurial performance within a project context may therefore enhance empirical insights into entrepreneurship. Yet, literature examining how entrepreneurial outcomes relate to project practices—particularly the performance implications of those practices—remains limited. The study aimed to examine the relationship between project success and entrepreneurial performance within project-oriented organisations. This study employed a qualitative research design using an electronic questionnaire administered to 50 individuals across five project-oriented organisations. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings demonstrate a positive association between project success and entrepreneurial performance within these organisations.
