According to contemporary literature, stakeholder management (which is one of the identified clues of sustainable project management) plays a significant role in successfully delivering construction projects. However, the literature focuses on the issues of stakeholder management/analysis mainly for large projects, and the authors could not find any items related to small construction projects. The aim of the article is to present the results of research conducted in small construction companies in the context of stakeholder management of their projects against the background of project success and sustainability. Many researchers have concluded that stakeholder management is one of the success factors of projects (including construction projects). Based on the conducted quantitative research, the needs in the field of stakeholder management of small construction companies’ projects were determined and the approaches used in this area were diagnosed. The research results indicate a low level of maturity of small construction companies in managing project stakeholders, which is a surprising result considering the fact that the literature on the subject emphasizes the importance of taking care of the project stakeholder management area and associating it with the project’s success.

(1) Background: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a concept, which from its very beginning, has been dividing researchers and practicians into its supporters and opponents.

The research was carried out in one of the leading teal companies in Poland, Marco Company Ltd. (3) Results: In the organization being researched, the aspects of the teal organization were identified in ten elements of the job candidates’ recruitment and selection processes. They permeate the entire process of recruitment constituting its inherent feature. The inclusion of CSR aspects into the processes of the job candidates’ recruitment and selection allows the company to gain such candidates who will make up the unique organization culture in cooperation with other Marco Company employees and will also fulfil corporate fundamental vision and mission.

This paper is a continuation and development of the same authors paper which has been published recently. The presented paper pertains to the notion of quality of project team in traditional project management. A paradox is observed in the state of art of the project team quality in project management. All specialists recognize the exceptional importance of the parameter “quality” for the final result of the project. On the one hand, one can easily find definitions of project quality, quality of product of the project, quality of the project management processes, and so on. On the other hand, a huge number of bibliographical sources considers the project team functioning, as a sine qua non condition of the project success. The notion “project team quality” is quasi absent in the literature. In this paper an approach is proposed to fill in this gap, in the form of a proposal of the model, which defines the project team quality and allows to measure it. The main results of the previous paper of the authors, particularly guidelines for the quality model of the project team, are briefly presented. The paper presented here has a conceptual character. The main part of the paper are guidelines for the quality model of the project team: general assumptions, measure of the quality of team – classical and with use of fuzzy numbers, based on Myers-Briggs method and Belbin test, and finally, an impact of the quality of the project team on the team management is discussed. The objective of this paper is to show the possibility to define the project team quality process, which ensures not only the optimal level of the team quality, but also allows undertake valuable managerial decisions during the project life cycle.
