THE THEORETICAL ROLE OF PERSONALITY TRAITS AND PROJECT CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR RELATIONSHIP IN PROJECT-BASED BUSINESS SUCCESS

One of the important factors for project-based organizational success may be the Project Citizenship Behaviors (PCBs) displayed by the employees according to their Personality Traits (PTs), because “PTs of Big-Five relate significantly to the performance of task. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the dynamics of PCB, and PTs in terms of project-based organizational success. In this context, a literature review study with a bibliometric analysis method was applied to summarize and synthesize the findings of existing literature on research. In line with our analysis, it can theoretically be argued that conscientious (taking initiative to solve problems) and extroverted (more prone to cooperation and communication) employees are more prone to project-specific helping behavior. Besides, the project-specific helping behavior may predict PS on the theoretical ground. On the other hand result orientation' and 'problem-solving ability' come to the fore among the qualities that effective project managers should have, which correspond to the conscientious personality trait. Besides, these features also conceptually overlap with project-specific helping behavior and project compliance behavior. In conclusion, revealing the role of personality traits and PCB in terms of project-based organizational success may provide much-needed integration in the literature. Therefore, this theoretical study will make a meaningful contribution to the literature by filling this gap in the discipline of organizational behavior
