Sažetak
Projects, as a unique endeavours limited by time and budget, imply significant amount of stress for their participants. Stress experienced by project participants, if prolonged, leads to project related burnout. This is especially true for project managers as ultimate responsible persons for the success of projects they lead. In this sense, personal characteristics and especially professional competence are important determining factors of one's coping with stress and reducing or preventing subsequent job burnout. Project leadership competencies, as the core competencies needed for project managers to do their job effectively and efficiently, can be considered influential for the level of burnout project managers experience after leading projects over certain period of time. In this study, the relationship between project leadership competencies and job burnout is examined on the sample of 71 Croatian project managers. Conducted simultaneous regression analyses, among other insights, revealed that project leadership competencies, overall and specific areas, are negatively associated with job burnout. In this sense, the beneficial effects of possessed leadership competencies on limiting own job burnout are stronger in case of project managers who are continually working on developing their leadership and other project management competencies, i.e. those who are active members of professional organizations for project management.
