In recent years, although numbers of corporations are bringing in PMO, they seem to be indifferent to PMO performance measurement. This demonstrates that there are also other reasons beside performance measurement of information systems (IS) project being ambiguous by introducing PMO; the lack of acknowledging the concrete function of PMO, and the scarcity of empirical study about the effect of PMO on the project members and project performance. In this sense, this study is aimed at proposing a new research model in which project success factors (i.e., standardization, management advocacy, and staff expertise) affect PMO capability (i.e., knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency) positively, leading to project performance (i.e., task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes) eventually. To empirically test the research model, data are surveyed from PMO department and IS department. To prove the validity of the proposed research model, PLS analysis is applied with valid 132 questionnaires. By employing PLS technique, the measurement reliability and validity of research variables are tested and the path analysis is conducted to do the hypothesis testing. The path analysis results can be organized into 7 ways in large scale. First, standardization of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency of PMO capabilities. The findings of this result indicate that the multiple or single project management should satisfy standardization in order to operate an effective PMO. Second, management advocacy of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. Management advocacy refers to the willingness of management to provide the required resources and authority for project success. There is agreement among researchers regarding the importance of management advocacy for favorable PMO capability. Third, staff expertise of project success factors has a positive association with knowledge management, resources management, and problem solving competency. The findings of this result indicate that the formation of an exceptional consultant or members with a proficient knowledge for staff expertise of project member is the key factor to elevate the PMO capability. Past research suggests that experience and knowledge and the resultant familiarity with the problem faced can be an important determinant of PMO capability. A capable project with appropriate staff expertise means that it enjoys a diversity of abilities and experiences. Fourth, knowledge management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive impact on psychological outcomes but has no direct effect on task outcomes and organizational outcomes. In domestic case of S. Korea, PMO was finally introduced to many other corporations in 2005 though it started bringing in 2000. Therefore, it had neither a significant impact on the task outcomes nor organizational outcomes by lacking the contents and the infrastructure of the knowledge management because the knowledge consolidation and management period of PMO is comparatively shorter by terms than other foreign nations. Fifth, resources management competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. In addition, problem solving competency of PMO capabilities has a positive association with task outcomes, psychological outcomes, and organizational outcomes. Therefore, the findings of this results stress that PMO capabilities has a positive impact on project performance. Sixth, according to the path analysis of the hypothesis, which suggested in this research, problem solving competency is the PMO capability which is the key success factor for task, psychological, and organizational outcomes as an integrated performance model. Further, the analysis reveals that problem solving competency is an important factor for integrated performance model. The finding is in line with past IS research, which affirms that the work of IS projects is essentially a problem solving endeavor. Seventh, in the path analysis of the hypothesis in this research, the path of the management advocacy $\rightarrow$ problem solving competency $\rightarrow$ organizational outcomes appears to be the most important and strongest path. In brief, the finding of this study suggests that project success factors influence PMO capability positively, and project performance as well. From the results, it can be concluded that PMO helped great improve the project success rate and project performance. This study advances research on PMO capability in three important aspects. First, the findings of our study have implications for IS theory and future research. Our study contributes to IS theory by synthesizing concepts from PMO research and project management research with those in IS research. We proposed and tested PMO capability of IS projects and the findings of our investigation provided some preliminary answers to some of the questions raised. Secondly, this thesis does not only help depicting the concept of IT governance but also approaches empirically. It makes a gradual approach to the main content, step by step, in contrary of simple standard, scholastic way of thinking. Finally, we argued that this task-oriented(technical) view is not sufficient to adequately conceptualize IS project performance. Hence, we applied that the research on organization teams, which provides a flip viewpoint to that of project management research in that it gives more weight for psychological outcomes of organizational work groups, can be very helpful in reconceptualizing the IS project performance construct. The limitations of this study are also discussed to provide research directions for future research.

Precedent studies revealed that success of IT project strongly depends on the competency of PMO(project management offices), however, there are only few studies which show the importance of PMO competency. In this study, we will suggest an evaluation model of IT PMO competency using the Pentagon Model which is a tool to assess the performance of project organization, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. We classified effect factor of PMO competency into 25 items in 5 fields such as Structure, Technology, Culture, Interaction, Social Relations and Networks based on pentagon model, also analysis of criticality between the effect factors was conducted by AHP. The study result shows 3 factors of Structure were included in the top 10, while 2 factors of Technology, Culture, Interaction were included separately. In terms of Social Relations and Networks, only 1 factor was included in the top 10. Therefore Structure of PMO should be aggressively considered for the successful IT project.

Periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMO) were synthesized using bis(triethoxy silyl) benzene as the precursor and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTMA) as the templating agent. From these results of XRD, TEM, and NMR, the pore structure of the material was confirmed to have a well-organized hexagonal structure. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was penetrated into PMO. From the DSC and XRD experiments, the polymer melting transition of crystalline polyethylene oxide (PEO) decreased then finally disappeared. These results prove that the polymer chains penetrate into the PMO channels, and penetrated polymer chains are constrained inside channels of PMO.

Recently, the importance of project management has increased due to the scale and complexity of the construction projects. Therefore, this study conducted a survey on construction companies and related public institutions to verify the relationship between the role of the Project Management Office(PMO) and PM leadership for project performance. Based on this, the effect of the PMO role on the project performance was identified and the moderating effect of PM leadership was analyzed. As a result, first, the role of the PMO was found to have an influential on the project performance. Second, the PM leadership was verified to has a moderating effect in the relationship between the PMO role and the project performance. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influential of the role of PMO on project performance in the construction industry to suggest the necessity of PMO in the construction industry and the need to adopt PMO in large-scale construction projects and analyze the moderating effect of PM leadership on project performance.

A membrane-like $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone film was prepared by blending $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ with polysulfone using dimethylformamide as a common solvent. SEM and EDX analysis showed that $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ was uniformly and finely distributed in the film catalyst. The ESCA measurement also revealed that the oxidation state of Mo was not changed. The $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$-polysulfone catalyst showed lower activity for acid-catalyzed reaction and higher activity for oxidation reaction than $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ in ethanol conversion reaction. The oxidation activity of the film catalyst was about 10 times higher than $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$. The decrease of acidic activity was due to DMF strongly adsorbed in acid sites of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$, whereas the increase of oxidation activity was mainly due to uniform distribution of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$. Adsorption results showed that the surface character of $H_3PMo_{12}O_{40}$ was drastically increased, while the bulk property of that was almost same after blending. It is suggested that the control of surface/bulk property as well as acid/redox property of heteropoly acid would be possible by blending it with a polymer.

The IS project is getting more and more complicated and large-scaled. Many researchers and practitioners are interested in the IS development methodologies, automated tools and techniques, TQM to decrease project failure, and to increase IS performance. But, in spite of such various efforts, the latest Standish Group's research indicates that the project scale is bulkier than $1{\sim}2$ year ago and IS development project's batting average falls from 34% to 28% at the same time, proceeded project is increased, and project discharged arrives to $15%{\sim}18%$. According to a research, success possibility increased by 37% after a year of PMO introduction, and increased sharply by 62% after 2 years and by 65% after S years. This research has a goal to survey how the PMO function and operation type affect the IS project performance in the financial industry. I determine nine independent variables and three dependent variables from previous researches. The results of this study are that the four core functions of PMO have relationship with project performance. But, technical support function does not relate with organization performance. Among the four core PMO operation types, three types have an effect on the IS project performance except the perfectionist type.

This study identifies influential factors for invigorating the public management office (PMO) system for system integration (SI) projects in public sectors and analyzes the priority of each factor from the point of different stakeholders, i.e., owners, SI company, and PMO. Based on the literature review, four first-level influential factors are identified: legal system maintenance, owner's capability, SI company's capability, and PMO's capability. Among them, the PMO's capability is determined as the most critical factor by all the stakeholders. Among the second-level influential factors, the capabilities of professional engineers and project managers are considered as important among the PMO's capability, whereas the reasonable consulting fee is considered as the most critical factor among the legal system maintenance. With respect to each stakeholder, project management capability is considered as the most important factor for owners, while the reasonable consulting fee is considered as the most important factor for PMO.
