Methodology-A broad literatur survey has been conducted on the organizational citizenship behaviour, learning organizations and organizational commitment concepts from project management point of view. The results of researches that are directy related to the topic have been put together. At the last stage, research findings were synthesized and a model is developed based on the dimesions that positvely influence success in the project management. Findings-In addition to knowing and implementing the right tools and techniques, it has become clear that the presence of human factors such as stakeholders' commitment to the project, learning organization, and project citizenship behaviors also play a very important role in achieving the goals of the project successfully. Conclusion-Recently, practitioners focus more on the tools and techniques used in the project management and the competencies of the team. But the human factors in project management remain neglected.

Drawing attention to these elements through this study, a model is developed which could be beneficial for the academicians as well as professional project managers.
