Previous research demonstrates the importance of social capital, environmental complexity, goal orientation, and project performance. However, the influence of these factors on project performance is unclear and was examined singly, i.e., each factor was studied separately in connection with project performance. The aim of this paper is to examine which configurations of selected factors, such as goal orientation, social capital, and environmental complexity, affect project performance in project-based organizations. This paper argues that these factors simultaneously affect project performance, in different configurations. This study applies fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA), which points to three configurations of conditions that influence project performance in project-based organizations. These findings help complement some of the results of previous studies on project performance.
