“A stakeholder can be perceived to be difficult based on their individual personality traits, as well as role or expectations”.

In this session Christine Unterhitzenberger will share her research project, published earlier in 2018, that focuses on the psycho-social aspects of project management and specifically on how project managers cope with difficult stakeholders.

Her research  3 different perspectives on this topic:

1. It identifies which factors create difficult situations;
2. How these situations impact on the project;
3. How project managers should effectively deal with the difficult situations they encounter.

At the beginning of the study an important differentiation was identified; initially it was only intended to only focus on strategies for dealing with difficult stakeholders, however it became quickly obvious that a clarification was necessary in this area.

A stakeholder may be difficult in terms of his/her personality or in terms of creating difficult situations for the project manager.

Hence the study created three areas that can typically create difficult situations for a project manager in relation to a difficult stakeholder.

These 3 areas can be found within the boundaries of a project as well as outside, and include:

• Structural environment
• Social environment
• Stakeholder personality

Furthermore, difficult situations always have an impact on the project as well as the project manager, although the impact on the project manager needs to be differentiated in two areas:

• The impact on his/her role
• The impact on personal wellbeing

Depending upon the impact and personality of the project manager, different coping strategies are adopted:

• Project coping strategies
• Personal coping strategies
