Abstract: This investigation explores some of the factors that affect internal interaction and performance in IS project teams in the context of a developing country. The study hypothesizes that project team size, leader capability, and training affect participation and coordination, which in turn affect IS project team performance. Our statistical analyses reveal many interesting findings. Some of these findings are inconsistent with the conclusions of previous research, which have been carried out in developed countries. We found that coordination could negatively affect the performance of IS project teams. We also found that training could hinder the coordination within the IS project team. In addition, we found that leader capability positively affected participation and that project team size negatively affected coordination. We discuss the implications of our findings for managerial practice and for future research.
