Abstract. As a response to the lack of quantitative and reliable measures of the team adaptation process, the aim of the present study was to develop and validate an instrument for assessing the four phases of the team adaptation process as described by Rosen and colleagues (2011) . Two trained raters and two subject matter expert groups contributed to the development of four behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) that span across the spectrum of team processes involved in each team adaptation phase. To validate the four BARS, two different trained raters assessed independently the team adaptation phases of 66 four-person teams. The validation study provided empirical support for the BARS’ psychometric adequacy. The BARS measures overcame the common middle anchor problem, showed sensitivity in differentiating between teams and between the four phases, showed evidence for acceptable reliability, construct, and criterion validity, and supported the theoretical team adaptation process assumptions. The study contributes to research and praxis by enabling the direct assessment of the overall team adaptation process, thereby facilitating our understanding of this complex phenomenon. This allows the identification of behavioral strengths and weaknesses for targeted team development and comprehensive team adaptation studies.

Main Factor

It is an important prerequisite to ensure the success of software development that designing a reasonable and suitable software development plan. In the past, when discussing the design of the software development plan, people focus limited to a specific development tasks, so the lack of universality. In order to guide design work of software development plan, starting from the perspective of software engineering, the main factor to be considered has been studied when designing software development plan. These factors are: the type and size of the software, the experience of use for reference to predecessors, difficulty level to obtain users' needs, development techniques and tools, situation of development team, development risks, the software development methods that can be chosen. This study results can improve the rationality and applicability of the software development plan.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the challenges that nurse unit managers (NUMs) face while working in acute care settings, the strategies they use to deal with these challenges, and the effectiveness of these strategies from the perspectives of NUMs and their supervisors. NUMs (N = 22) and directors of nursing (N = 3) were interviewed for this study. Thematic analysis revealed 14 challenges relating primarily to NUMs interactions with others, both within and outside of their wards/units. These challenges related to the managerial, but not clinical, aspects of their roles; 16 strategies for managing these challenges were identified, the effectiveness of which seemed dependent on how well they were executed. The strategies are: seeking assistance and support; trial and error; satisficing; taking responsibility for own professional development; scheduling of time; working longer hours; delegation; adaptive staffing and rostering; being a visible presence on the ward; team development; facilitating professional development for staff; being available for staff; negotiation and collaboration; communication; working with the processes of a large organisation; and complying with the demands of others, The findings make a strong case for NUMs to be supported in undertaking comprehensive management education.
