ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze how the quality of leadership and teamwork influences project success in information systems development (ISD). The proposed research model endeavors to substantiate the heterogeneity of project success in the public and private sectors to assist project managers. We surveyed experienced Korean project managers in both the public and private sectors and applied a partial least squares method to the data to empirically prove our hypotheses.
