To have successful career, one must acquire the competencies relevant to his/her business field. In order to share the knowledge in a successful and effective manner, individuals need to have knowledge sharing competencies. These competencies could affect and enhance individual performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of knowledge sharing intention on knowledge sharing competencies and also the impact of those competencies and knowledge sharing intention on managers’ performance in project-based organizations. Data is collected from 50 participants including top, middle and executive managers and also senior engineers. Statistical estimation methods and path analysis were utilized to test the hypotheses. The findings indicates that knowledge sharing intention not only has a positive and significant, direct impact on knowledge sharing competencies but also has a positive and significant, indirect impact on managers’ individual performance via knowledge sharing competencies. This study suggests that due to knowledge sharing intention, one can enhance his/her individual performance by developing the methodological competencies.

Every project has many risks and as there are many complexities in projects today, recognizing the most important risks is essential for projects' success and efficiency. In this research, we tried to determine most significant risk's categories in the framework of risk breakdown structure of 4th edition of Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide that can be generalize to all projects in Iran. With considering dependencies and interactive relations between risks of project, we used DEMATEL method to determine the most significant project risk's categories on the basis of risk breakdown structure of 4th edition of Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide. Also fuzzy set theory was applied to measure experts' subjective judgments, experts who have rich expertise and knowledge in Iranian projects were selected to evaluate the influences. The results revealed that "External", "Technical", "Project Management" and "Organizational" risks are significant and in the most important risk's category which is "External", "Regulatory" risks and in "Technical", "Project Management" and "Organizational" risks, "Technology", "Estimating" and "Project Dependencies" are the most important risks respectively and should be paid more attention because they were in the first rank of importance.

Selecting people of project team is very important because it can determine successful ness or failure of projects. In this research, a model was developed for project team selection based on fuzzy approach that presents a systematic and scientific selection process of project team. Fuzzy compatibility concept was applied for measuring relationship and suitability between the necessary skills for accomplishing project activities and the skills of candidate people. In order to select the appropriate people to the project team, two factors were considered; the degree of compatibility and cost of potential teams. To make decision about the desired team, the "SAW" method was applied. Finally the desired team was selected that satisfied both skill requirements and budget constraints.
