Multiple systemic factors are both influenced by and positively influence project outcomes. Previous studies, however, have failed to holistically assess these influences. Furthermore, these previous studies have been conceptual and non-empirical. The present work addressed this omission concerning systematic impacts on perceived project management success (PerceivedProjMS), investigating how levels of trust (both intrateam and trust in leader), ethical leader behavior, the use of project accelerators (tools, methods, frameworks), and team cooperation can influence PerceivedProjMS. This study combined six survey instruments (five existing and one developed for this work). A survey was disseminated to project and program leaders, team leads, and team members (N = 139) to identify the potential influence of team cooperation, intrateam trust, trust in leader, ethical leadership, and the use of project management methods, tools, and frameworks (PMMT) on PerceivedProjMS. Cronbach’s alpha was used for statistical validation (Pilot Study α = .82; Final Study α = .78). A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the survey data. The results show that PMMT-use, trust (intrateam and leader), and demonstrations of ethical leader behavior all positively affect PerceivedProjMS. This suggests that as projects become part of the organizational fabric for implementing change and transformation, leaders and constituents should implement mechanisms to strengthen positive demonstrations of cognitive, affective, and behaviors with others. Such increases can lead to improved intrateam trust, thus strengthening PerceivedProjMS.

Kick'em Jenny is the only known active submarine volcano in the Caribbean Sea (Devine and Sigurdsson, 1995). It is located on the western flank of the Lesser Antilles arc just offshore of the island of Grenada (Figure 1). The volcano was discovered in 1939 when numerous earthquakes were felt and accompanying tsunamis affected Grenada, the Grenadines, and as far away as Barbados. There have been at least 11 eruptions since that time, with the last event occurring in 2001. Explosive eruptions can pose a hazard to local island populations (e.g., Dondin et al., 2012) when they breach the sea surface, and shallow-water explosions or edifice collapse can potentially generate tsunamis (Lindsay et al., 2005).

Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are polygenic disorders of the immune system. Many genomic loci harbor risk alleles for several diseases, but the limited resolution of genetic mapping prevents determining whether the same allele is responsible, indicating a shared underlying mechanism. Here, using a collection of 129,058 cases and controls across 6 diseases, we show that ~40% of overlapping associations are due to the same allele. We improve fine-mapping resolution for shared alleles twofold by combining cases and controls across diseases, allowing us to identify more expression quantitative trait loci driven by the shared alleles. The patterns indicate widespread sharing of pathogenic mechanisms but not a single global autoimmune mechanism. Our approach can be applied to any set of traits and is particularly valuable as sample collections become depleted. Joint likelihood mapping across six autoimmune diseases identifies shared and distinct association signals and improves fine-mapping resolution at loci with shared effects, yielding insights into the underlying biological mechanisms.
