Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the importance of a project performance’s education, training and motivation and project organization structure in non-profit organizations and to establish its influence on a successful project realization. For this purpose we designed a questionnaire. The sample includes 180 respondents working in all Slovene institutes of public health at the secondary level. The descriptive statistic and regression model was used to test research aims. The results show that the independent variables in the regression model explained 75.2% of the dependent variable variation indicating a successful project realization. The levels of education and training and motivating of project performers statistically significant influence the success of project realization. Project organization structure and organizational climate do not influence a successful project implementation in institutes of public health at the secondary level. The identified characteristics of a supportive environment and their influence on a successful project realization in institutes of public health generate theoretical and practical results. The outcomes of the research will be useful for the designers of work process innovations in terms of a supportive environment for project management.

Key words: Management, project management, public health, research, regression analysis.
