Project managers' knowledge reduces stress and boosts performance in developers.
The article explores how project managers' knowledge can help reduce risks in information systems projects, leading to better outcomes for individual developers. By studying 130 project teams and 20 project managers, the researchers found that project-related knowledge can improve internal and external process controls, which in turn lessens the negative impact of technical project risks on developers' performance and stress levels. This shows that managing project risks and processes effectively is crucial for achieving positive developer outcomes in information systems projects.
