Abstract
Bir projenin başarısı esas olarak maliyet, kapsam ve işgücü gibi değişkenlerin titiz bir şekilde planlanmasına bağlıdır. Proje yönetiminin önemi son zamanlarda hem küçük ölçekli işletmelerde hem de büyük çokuluslu şirketlerde büyük önem kazanmıştır ve bu da proje yönetiminin kurumsal performansın kritik bir bileşeni olarak görülmesine yol açmıştır. Bir projenin planlandığı gibi uygulanması, ancak bir kontrol mekanizması yardımıyla mümkündür. Son araştırmalar, amaçlanan sonuçları veremeyen projelerin uygun kontrol mekanizmalarına sahip olmadığını göstermektedir. Benzer şekilde, araştırma bulguları da kontrol mekanizmalarına sahip olan projelerin genel performans artışlarına katkıda bulunduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Durumsallık teorisi, her bir işletmeyi çevreleyen koşulların benzersiz olduğunu; ve her işletmenin evrensel, tek bedene uyan tüm çözümleri benimsemek yerine, kendi organizasyonel yapısına ve diğer benzersiz özelliklerine göre kendi kontrol mekanizmasını tasarlaması son derece önemlidir. İlgili literatür, beklenmedik durum teorisi perspektifinin proje yönetimi kontrol sistemi tasarımına entegrasyonunun işletme performansını artırmaya yardımcı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma hem proje yönetimini beklenmedik durum teorisi açısından araştırmakta hem de beklenmedik durum tabanlı proje yönetimi kontrolünün proje performansı üzerindeki etkilerinin teorik bir analizini yapmaktadır.

Abstract
The success of a project mainly depends upon meticulous planning of such variables as cost, scope and labour. The importance of project management has gained considerable importance recently in both small-scale enterprises and large multinational corporations, which has led project management to be regarded as a critical constituent of enterprise performance. The implementation of a project as planned is only possible with the help of a control mechanism. Recent research indicates that projects that fail to yield intended outcomes lack appropriate control mechanisms. Similarly, research findings also confirm that those projects that have control mechanisms contribute to overall performance increases. Contingency theory outlines that the conditions surrounding each enterprise are unique; and it is highly important that each enterprise designs its own control mechanism based on its organizational structure and other unique characteristics instead of adopting universal, one-size-fits-all solutions. Related literature points out that integration of contingency theory perspective into project management control system design helps increase enterprise performance. In this regard, the current study both investigates project management from the perspective of contingency theory and undertakes a theoretical analysis of the effects of contingency-based project management control on project performance.
