Participants\u2019 perceptions barely coincide. For instance, mutual trust was the only factor suggested as facilitating high team performance by 5 participants (out of 13). Differences may be because of participants\u2019 characteristics (e.g. time on the job). All perceived factors are classified in the literature as nontechnical (i.e. having to do with behavioral and\/or socio-organizational matters of project management).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper is among the very few empirical studies consolidating knowledge on high-performance IS project teams (e.g. it is still unclear if there are IS project team-specific factors that influence high performance). For the highly technical IS industry, this study came across human-centric factors transversal to different project teams.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/tpm-03-2018-0022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,1]],"date-time":"2018-10-01T10:47:27Z","timestamp":1538390847000},"page":"69-83","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Information systems project teams: factors for high performance"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Isabel","family":"Moura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Dominguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Varaj\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"key2020092411074330400_ref001","first-page":"49","article-title":"Turn around an ineffective team","volume":"31","year":"1999","journal-title":"IIE Solutions"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2020092411074330400_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"178","DOI":"10.1016\/j.hrmr.2016.09.010","article-title":"Task and person-focused leadership behaviors and team performance: a meta-analysis","volume":"27","year":"2017","journal-title":"Human Resource Management Review"},{"key":"key2020092411074330400_ref003","article-title":"IT project teams and their leaders: interaction expectations","volume":"1","year":"2010","journal-title":"Leadership and Organizational Management"},{"key":"key2020092411074330400_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"86","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tsc.2016.09.002","article-title":"Minority dissent as teamwork related mental model: implications for willingness to dissent and group creativity","volume":"22","year":"2016","journal-title":"Thinking Skills and Creativity"},{"key":"key2020092411074330400_ref005","article-title":"Examining high performance teams in information systems projects","year":"2013"},{"key":"key2020092411074330400_ref006","first-page":"4483","article-title":"What determines information systems project performance?
