 	abstract = "Information Technology (IT) project management is a research topic that has been discussed in many studies in the last years. In spite of all academic effort and increasing investments, from 2003 to 2012 only 6% were considered successful (The Standish Group, 2014). These numbers led us reflect on some of the fundamental components of IT project success. Even though the project manager cannot guarantee project success by himself/herself, in today’s dynamic world, the project managers plays a fundamental role as he/she is responsible for accomplishing the organizational goals in project settings.  Another fundamental success factor is team commitment. Committed teams are more prone to put in effort to achieve project goals. Given these points, this study addresses two questions: (1) which IT project manager competencies influence team commitment? and (2) how much these competencies impact team commitment? The main objective of this research is to propose and evaluate a measuring instrument to identify the IT project manager competencies that are necessary to build and sustain team commitment in IT projects. We adopted mixed methods as the research methodology and divided the study into two phases. Firstly, we conducted an exploratory and qualitative research. Then, we did an exploratory quantitative research approach. An important academic contribution is the new scale designed to identify competencies that are more relevant to develop team commitment. Besides that, the research offers a conceptual model that can be used in future studies. This research also presents pertinent implications to the practice of project management in IT settings. Project managers and organizations can use the new scale as a tool to recruit and evaluate professionals. The new scale can also be used to evaluate organizational climate or to structure trainings and refresh programs related to project management practice.",
