Purpose: To identify the duties and responsibilities of project managers by analysing the content of online job advertisements. Design/methodology/approach: Job advertisements were automatically downloaded for 63 countries/areas available on Indeed. A text mining analysis of fragments of the advertisements describing the scope of duties was carried out. The text mining analysis included initial text processing, creating corpora of the documents, creating a document-term matrix, and using classic methods derived from data mining. Findings: The research established the most frequently used words and n-grams in job advertisements. They have been presented in the form of figures. The 2-grams are also presented in the form of a net, a directed graph. The LDA algorithm identified abstract topics describing the duties and responsibilities of project managers. The most frequent words, n-grams, and topics identified by the LDA algorithm were used to identify the duties and responsibilities of project managers. Research limitations/implications: Only job advertisements written in English were analysed. The postings were downloaded only for six days. An attempt to automatically identify the responsibilities section did not yield the expected results. Therefore, it was carried out manually for random advertisements, which reduced the number of analysed documents. The content of the job advertisements was not analysed by country/area. Practical implications: The method applied can be used by organisations training future project managers, to modify and better adapt curricula to the needs of the labour market. Originality/value: Studies have shown that text mining of job advertisements can help determine the duties and responsibilities of project managers.(original abstract)
