Abstract
This study seeks to understand the possible relationship between citizenship behavior and project managers' performance in a comparative context. The sample consists of German (n = 119) and Portuguese (n = 128) project managers working in various sectors. The results support the hypotheses derived from the discourse on effectiveness in temporary organizations and show a significant contribution of citizenship behaviors to project goal achievement and future personal and organizational opportunities. When comparing the samples, results substantiate that this contribution was higher in Portuguese project managers. Interpretations of this finding are offered, limitations of the study addressed and suggestions for future research discussed.
