C. Ray Gullet (“Personnel Management in the Project Organization,” Personnel Administration/Public Personnel Review, November–December 1972, pp. 17–22) has identified five personnel problems. How would you, as a project manager, cope with each problem?
Staffing levels are more variable in a project environment.
Performance evaluation is more complex and more subject to error in a matrix form of organization.
Wage and salary grades are more difficult to maintain under a matrix form of organization. Job descriptions are often of less value.
Training and development are more complex and at the same time more necessary under a project form of organization.
Morale problems are potentially greater in a matrix organization.
