Greetings, PMI Central Alabama! I am a current doctoral student at the University of the Cumberlands, completing a dissertation in the Ph.D. of Business program with a Project Management emphasis. I would like to voluntarily ask current PMICAC members for your participation in this research study.

My dissertation is tentatively titled A Study of the Relationship Between Organizational Culture and Self-Efficacy in Project Managers. My research is supervised by my professor, Dr. Monica Bess. I am hopeful to survey PMI members on self-efficacy and organizational culture with one combined instrument of two evidenced-based sources: Blomquist’s Project Management Self-Efficacy Scale (PMSE-6) and the Organizational Description Questionnaire (ODQ), to find any significant statistical correlations between the two.

The PMI Central Alabama Chapter elections will begin Thursday, 10/27/2022 and conclude Friday, 11/18/2022 at 11:59 PM. Thank you for your participation. Should you have any questions, please contact the Chapter Nominations and Election Committee, boardadvisor@pmicac.org.

Please mark your calendars for an outstanding opportunity to participate in Joint Chapter Virtual Professional Training. This event will not be one to miss and will be held virtually September 21-22nd.

The event will include top-notch speakers from across the country and provide an opportunity to earn 15+ PDU points!!

Keep an eye out for the upcoming registration link.

The PMI Central Alabama Chapter is requesting your participation in a short survey regarding educational opportunities. Your responses will help the chapter to determine the types of courses offered by the chapter or through educational partners. Please take the time to respond to this important survey.
