Abstract
The purpose of this research is to advance the body of knowledge on information technology (IT) implementation projects and the mitigating effects that bureaucratic environments have upon governmental IT projects. Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data from the Office of Personnel Management and federal IT project health data from the Office of Management and Budget offered an opportunity to perform logistic regression analyses between the independent variables of employee ratings of their department’s health, and the dependent variables of project schedule and cost health. Using overall department health as the independent variable, the findings show that overall department health significantly and positively explains a project’s schedule health, but is insignificant when it comes to a project’s cost health.
