The study aims to investigate if steering committees and an operative project groups have a difference in point of view regarding the best way to see a project through. The research has the cross-sectional design using 44 questionnaires and 2 interviews. The proposed answer is that steering committee and operative project are two specialized functions to be coordinated thus their point of view differs. A hypothesis that steering committee members would be prone to a need for security and operative project members would be prone to a need for personal growth failed, one main reason for this is probably the fact that steering committee and project members are carefully selected.
