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.

In this study the impact of selected organizational characteristics on R&D projects performance were analyzed. The data for the empirical analysis come from a survey of 131 R&D projects across 53 high-tech business units. This study employs a configurational approach, using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fs/QCA), to analyze the combination of structural differentiation, innovation strategy, cooperation with stakeholders, and project team autonomy with the performance of R&D projects. The results suggest that no single organizational characteristic is crucial to ensure the success of R&D projects but three causality paths lead to that outcome. Because of significant interdependencies, the main organizational characteristic contributing to the success of R&D projects in the high-tech company concern innovation strategy in connection with either cooperation with stakeholders or project team autonomy or structural differentiation.

Job satisfaction is one of the most researched topics in management literature taking into consideration the fact that it has been found out that this concept has many practical implications in the workplace. Job satisfaction is very complex phenomenon which is influenced by numerous factors. Previous studies provide a partial view of job satisfaction, because they are usually focused on the relationship between a single factor and job satisfaction, without taking a global view to indicate how different factors simultaneously affect job satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how different factors such as: work family balance, teamwork, personal environment fit, job security and supervisor support simultaneously influence job satisfactions. The sample of the study includes employees of Polish small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to analyze data collected in surveys from 274 employees. The results contribute to research on job satisfaction by outlining several combinations of factors which create a paths to explain employee job satisfaction: (1) teamwork and supervisor support, (2) personal environment fit, job security and supervisor support with absence of work family balance, (3) work family balance, job security and supervisor support.
