Abstract Organizations in today’s environment are relied on teams and their learning as key determinants for survival and success. The aim of this paper is to identify the key team learning processes and activities in organizations and to examine how the eventual appearance and growth of the problems in team impact on those processes and activities. Research was conducted in nine teams with 79 members in one public service organization located in Belgrade, Serbia, using interview and questionnaire techniques. Descriptive analysis, linear regression and Pearson correlation coefficient were used for processing and interpreting collected data. The results show that undefined roles of team members, a lack of trust among them, inadequate rewards, inadequate leadership and team management, will cause a moderate decrease in team learning processes and activities. The value of this research is that growing reliance on teamwork in organizations put pressure on leaders and managers to understand the factors that enable and stimulate team learning processes and activities, but also to identify and overcome all problems that may arise in teams and slow down the learning in teams as one of the most important processes.

Team learning is a recurrent topic in research on effective teamwork. However, research about the fact that team learning processes emerge from conversations and the different forms this emergence can take is limited. The aim of this study is to determine whether the extent to which team members act on each other’s reasoning (transactivity) can be used to understand how team learning processes emerge. Research on teacher teams was used as the case study: Video recordings of three different teacher teams were used as primary data, and the data were analyzed using qualitative interaction analysis. The analysis shows that the content of team learning processes changes when team members act more closely on each other’s reasoning. In particular, team learning processes related to the storage and retrieval of information took place only in sequences in which team members acted closely on each other’s reasoning.

Performance Teams

Effective team management is one of the key factors that allow companies to tackle the challenges of today's demanding business environment. Although high-performing teams have been studied for some time, very little has been written on them from the construction industry's perspective. Based on the conclusions of previous work and on a project involving 44 professionals of seven teams, this exploratory case study intends to evaluate if there is a gap between what team members and leaders perceive as being (a) the most important features for managing teams into high performance and (b) the features that are present in their teams. The present study shows that, although teams under investigation had some high-performing features at the leadership dimension, there is room for improvement, in particular when it comes to empowering team members, involving them in planning the work, and creating proper reward systems.

Practical Implications

Purpose – This study aims to propose a typology of team learning processes, based on a study of teams of health care therapists across England who were engaged in improving their services. Design/methodology/approach – Information was gathered from 35 teams of health care therapists, through analysis of reports produced by the teams and by interviews with team leaders. The actions taken to achieve service improvements were analysed through a lens of team learning. Findings – Team learning is an appropriate frame of reference for analysing actions designed to bring about change and improvement. Seven distinct team learning activities are defined. Research limitations/implications – The implication of the study is that it is useful to apply a theoretical framework of organisational learning to service improvements undertaken by work teams. The study indicates learning processes that were important elements in these changes. The study limitation was that information was gathered mainly from the leaders of each team; other team members may have contributed different perceptions. Practical implications – Leaders of organisations and of teams should adopt team learning as a useful perspective for improving services and should consider how to encourage and support team learning. Originality/value – This is one of a small number of empirical studies of team learning processes in work organisations.

The study aims to explore and study the visual-rhetoric-semiotic visuals as well as the symbol interpretation used in the public service announcement (PSA- Public Service Announcement) in Malaysia. Environmental issues have long been raised but the public is still lacking awareness and public not realize the limitations of the funds in each of these PSAs. This limitation makes the frequency of these ad campaigns unreachable, as is the usual product or service campaign advertising. Qualitative approaches with the case study and artworks analysis have been used in this study involving three environmental public service announcements. In addition, interviews were conducted on audiences in which the selection of participants by sampling aims and involves higher institution students, academics, graphic designers and public audiences. This is to see the interpretation of those involved as data which reinforces the results of this study. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis which was divided into three stages namely descriptive, interpretation and evaluation. The results of the study as a whole can be summarized that the visual rhetoric used in public environmental services advertisements is an important aspect of delivering messages, using images as symbols and having the meanings on the contrary. The conclusions from the study show that the use of visual rhetoric is interesting to use as a symbol and translate the meaning in delivering messages.

<p><strong></strong>The study discusses process and implementation of knowledge sharing as the basis of learning in the innovation process that is undertaken in small and medium scale enterprises/SMEs with the contextual overview on the West Sumatran SMEs in Indonesia. As the context of the study, a specific SME in West Sumatra was taken as the case study. The study is an empirical-exploratory research where the qualitative method in terms of descriptive analysis was used as the main research approach. It also uses content analysis from the result of an in-depth interview as its main data analysis. A case study approach is used to collect data and information from the informants of the study. It can be inferred from the study that knowledge sharing has allowed an equal dissemination of information between people in the organisation of SME. Employees and owners spread information, knowledge as well as experience equally one to each other and this has led to the creation of a conducive environment in which learning processes can be smoothly undertaken. Such learning processes directly ease the innovation processes that is schemed and undertaken by the SME.</p><em><strong>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak:</strong></em> <em>Artikel ini membahas proses dan implementasi knowledge sharing sebagai sebuah dasar bagi pembelajaran dalam proses inovasi yang dterjadi pada usaha kecil dan menengah/UKM dengan konteks pada UKM di Provinsi Sumatera Barat, Indonesia.

Purpose Learning across teams and organisational levels enables organisations to deal with challenges that arise from changing contexts. Project-oriented organisations increasingly use programme management to cope with such challenges and improve performance. This paper aims to find out how different programme configurations affect learning across project teams and between project teams and their parent organisation in project-oriented organisations. Design/methodology/approach A case study of a project-oriented organisation involved in five infrastructure programmes was performed. Findings The studied programmes linked learning processes at group and organisational levels by creating relationships across project teams and their parent organisation and acting as a knowledge centre. Team learning benefits from the learning culture and stable environment that programmes create for project teams. This study indicates that a programme’s features and focus strongly determines whether a programme predominantly enhances learning across project teams or learning between project teams and their parent organisation. Originality/value Although programme management is increasingly used by project-oriented organisations, there are few studies relating to learning in programmes. This study provides new insights into learning across teams through programmes.

The Relationship

Aims of this study are to discover the way lecturers in Palembang manage their financial planning and to analyze the relationship between the financial literacy index and financial planning. The data of this study were analyzed by conducting descriptive analysis and using the pearson correlation coefficient in the testing a hypothesis. Respondents in this study were as many as 153 people. For collecting data, a survey has been conducted by sending questioners. Based on the survey, generally, lecturers in Palembang have implemented the steps of their financial planning and debt management in a good way, and that the lecturers recognize the importance of insurance, but, the survey also pointed out that the lecturers do not have a piece of sufficient knowledge to determine a particular product of insurance that suits their need. The investment activity of the lecturers is considered lacking since most of the lecturers have no plan on preparing pension funds and inheritance of their own despite their knowledge of the importance of preparing them. It has been figured out that there is a relation between basic financial literacy and financial planning. Advanced financial literacy also has a relation to financial planning. This study implicates that a good understanding of financial literacy related to improvement in financial planning so that it needs a bigger effort from the respondents for improving their awareness on the importance of financial planning.
