Chapter 1 in Applied Psychology for Project Managers, 2015, pp 1-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The course and the success of projects depend essentially on the people who design project processes or pass judgment on their results. Conversely, the requirements and parameters of projects also influence the experience and behavior of the project’s participants. Project work and project management are thus a form of applied psychology. This chapter provides an overview of this book’s contents, explains the purpose of applied and organizational psychology and the significance of project management in modern organizations, and explores the role applied psychology plays in project management.
