The impact of personality on career choice, satisfaction, and success has a long history of research and theory development. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the dominant Holland vocational typology of project management professional practitioners, and to determine if the prevalent vocational typology achieves a higher level of job satisfaction than those whose typologies are other than the prevalent type. Nine hypothesis tests were run on secondary factors of the project management environment such as leadership of virtual project teams, employment status, challenging work, or being in a particular type of industry practicing project management and employment to college degree match to determine if these had any affect on job satisfaction. If Holland's vocational theory and Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory are on target, the vocational typology analysis correlated with job satisfaction would help predict ways in which project management professionals should be grouped and educated and if any of the secondary factors contributed significantly to job satisfaction in the face of evolving changes and challenges in the project management profession. A random electronic survey ( n = 348) of Project Management Institute's (PMI) Southern Ontario Chapter (N = 3,738) membership was utilized to obtain the vocational personality of Project Management Professionals (PMPs) as measured by Holland's Self-Directed Search (SDS) Form R instrument, input on some previously piloted demographic questions along with the utilization of the Mohrman-Cooke-Mohrman Job Satisfaction Survey (MCMJSS). The dominant Holland Typology for project management professionals was Enterprising E (one factor), Enterprising Social ES (two factors), and Conventional, Enterprising and Social CES (three factors) or any combination of these letters for job classification purposes. The dominance of the three-factor code was not confirmed by job satisfaction. Previously the three-factor code was not available for the group of project management professionals. Also, the three-factor code for Program and Project Manager was different to what was predicted in the theory from EIS and EIR to CES, which validated that the Holland code for these project management professions needed an update. Finally, those project management professionals who had significantly more challenging jobs were more satisfied than those who had less challenging jobs.Subjects--Topical Terms:
