Team management is needed to support the achievement of organizational goals. One form of good team management also includes efforts to understand and develop the team. The purpose of team development is to ensure that the team can consistently produce the required performance to help organizational processes. This study uses the Open-System model as an effort to understand and carry out team development. The object of this study is the components in one of the teams, namely the Human Resource Development (PSDM) team with team members and the team's environmental conditions. The data collection methods used were interviews with team members, observations of the team's work environment, and document studies on team performance profiles. Data analysis is carried out by integrating findings that have been categorized based on the Open-System model qualitatively. The findings of this study indicate that the Open-System model is able to provide a structured picture of the condition and performance of the HRD team. The main problem condition is that the team work target is not yet solid. The intervention used in responding to the team's assessment results is the preparation of team performance targets using special key performance indicators for the team, so this research is very helpful in developing excellent performance.

Mediating Role

Because project teams in the construction industry shape the primary focus of the industry's project life cycle, a high-performance construction workplace facilitates employees’ technical and innovation skills through team development. Drawing on the current research in general teamwork and leadership, this study, from a theoretical perspective, extends the team condition as a hierarchical construct, incorporating six associated components. This article argues that team building and team development can be studied as ongoing processes that are crucial to project success. In order to reduce the risk of common method variance, the research analysis was completed using 94 construction teams from three different sources, within which team members rated their leader's transformational leadership behavior. The team leaders evaluated the team's conditions, and, lastly, the supervisor of each team rated the team's performance. The model shows that the team condition, which is defined as the factors that contribute to making a great team, has significant direct and indirect impacts on team performance. Furthermore, the transformational leadership behavior of team leaders showed a mediating role between the team condition and the performance.

The Relationship

Teamwork skills have becoming an important asset that employees can bring into an organization. How to make employees work with other team members and make team effective is an important issue in business education. In order to make sense which factors in team management will help improve team performance, we try to design a test among students. In this paper, we focus on using 12-step method to help business students acquire their teamwork skills and improve their team performance in class, and propose and examine several hypotheses on the relationship between 12-step and their impact on team performance with a dataset collecting from university student teams. The results show that initial sharing, continuous sharing and feedbacks are positively associated with team performance, but expectation, equity and celebration are negatively associated with team performance. The findings provide some insights about how to apply different steps in different environments, and show that some measures and steps should be paid more attention in training in a firm or other organizations.

The Impact

Global software engineering (SE) has increased in popularity and is now commonplace in most software organizations. This is due to the fact that business and technology have evolved, which has had an impact on the borderless world. As a consequence, software teams are often geographically dispersed, though they all have the same goal—to produce high-quality software. In order to achieve that goal, quality teamwork is important to build a high-performance team. This study aims to get an in-depth understanding of what quality teamwork is, as well as investigate how communication and socialization can have an impact on team performance. This study took a qualitative approach to the data collection process by carrying out interviews with three experts of agile distributed teams. The results of this study demonstrate that active communication stimulates socialization, and thus increases and maintains morale and motivation among team members. Future studies could focus on the impact of other quality teamwork, such as the influence of trust on team performance among global SE teams.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore one vital aspect of team performance, the development of vulnerability trust in temporary high-performance teams (HPTs), within the context of after-action debriefing sessions. Design/methodology/approach – In-depth interviews were conducted with military aircrew members about sharing vulnerable and personal experiences after action in a war scenario. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the qualitative material. Findings – The study identified six themes that influence the development of vulnerability trust in temporary HPTs: creating familiarity, caring attitude and recognition of other crew members, the power of transparency, fear of rejection, contradictions between team members and the number of listeners in a sharing session. All these themes appeared to have an effect on the development of vulnerability trust. Practical implications – The study shows how vulnerability trust may affect team development and team performance. Social implications – The paper not only specifically provides an insight into the development of trust in HPTs but also helps to broaden the understanding of the importance of trust for team development in general. Originality/value – The paper contributes knowledge on the development of vulnerability trust that is new to research on HPTs, and the study explores how vulnerability trust may affect team development and team performance. The data material for this research has been collected from military operators’ experiences in a war context. Such environments are often shielded from and minimally available for qualitative research.

Research Question: This paper investigates a relationship between the composition of personality traits of team members and teamwork performance as well as team behavioural competences. Motivation: Our primary motivation was to link and integrate organizational psychology and the field of management science. The study builds on existing literature that highlights the influence of personality factors and their composition on group processes. As stated in the literature, personality traits determine individual behaviour in work environment and therefore influence group processes and group performance (Barric, Steward, Neubert, & Mount, 1998). According to that, if we can determine such combinations of personality traits of team members that contribute to better or worse team performance, we can raise the team’s efficiency to a maximum. Idea: The main idea of ​​the research was to examine whether there is a combination of personality traits in a team that influences team performance. The importance of this topic is reflected in the increasing attention paid by organizations to working teams and their formation in order to increase productivity, so the adequate selection criteria of team members is of great importance. Data: The research was conducted in one Telecommunication Company. The final sample consisted of 20 teams formed by 87 subjects (42 male and 45 female). Every team consisted of 4-6 members and the team supervisor. The teams were generally similar in terms of education. Tools: Personality traits of team members were measured with the instrument based on the Big five model. We used the average values of the team member’s personality traits as the predictors, and team work performance as criteria. Beside descriptive statistics, we used correlation analysis and canonical and quasi canonical correlation analyses. Findings: Our findings mostly agree with similar studies in other countries - the average group result of Extraversion and Openness proved to be very important for the teamwork performance. The results strongly support the existence of one general personality factor which is connected to the teamwork performance. It therefore confirms a hypothesis that adequately formed teams contribute considerably to the success of an organization. Contribution: Perhaps the most important contribution of this paper lies in the fact that there are very few similar studies in our area and including our population, and the practical implications for management are huge.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the routes of team goal attainment through individual and social mechanisms. Design/methodology/approach – The study is based on a qualitative thematic analysis of interviews, annual reports and observations of team meetings conducted within a Finnish department store. Findings – The key findings of our analysis are three fold. First, we identified four routes to team goal attainment: team leadership, one’s own work, customer service and team work. We propose that for team members, these routes to goal attainment are more important than the organizational goals of sales and reputation themselves, since sales and reputation may be too far removed from the team’s everyday work. Second, both individual and social mechanisms are needed for team goal accomplishment. This finding highlights the importance of the social identity perspective in binding individual and collective motivations together. Third, teamwork in our case department store is somewhat affected by non-participative conventions, but many employee-involving practices can also be identified. These employee-involving HRM practices offer the employees a voice, and give the teams and team supervisors sufficient power in work organization. Research limitations/implications – The limitations of this study are mostly due to the qualitative case study design which hinders the generalization of the results. The wide perspective of the study can also be seen as a limitation. Practical implications – The results suggest that HR professionals and line managers should be more aware of and support the processes through which teams and team members attain organizational goals. This requires detailed knowledge of the processes – routes to team goal attainment – at the shop floor level. Originality/value – This study highlights the interconnectedness of individual and team level attributes in retail team work, and proposes the perspective of social identity theory as a lens for analysis.

The Individual

Abstract. The individual attitudes of every single team member are important for team performance. Studies show that each team member’s collective orientation – that is, propensity to work in a collective manner in team settings – enhances the team’s interdependent teamwork. In the German-speaking countries, there was previously no instrument to measure collective orientation. So, I developed and validated a German-language instrument to measure collective orientation. In three studies (N = 1028), I tested the validity of the instrument in terms of its internal structure and relationships with other variables. The results confirm the reliability and validity of the instrument. The instrument also predicts team performance in terms of interdependent teamwork. I discuss differences in established individual variables in team research and the role of collective orientation in teams. In future research, the instrument can be applied to diagnose teamwork deficiencies and evaluate interventions for developing team members’ collective orientation.

Abstract African genomic medicine and microbiome datasets are usually not well characterized in terms of their origin, making it difficult to find and extract data for specific African ethnic groups or even countries. The Pan-African H3Africa Bioinformatics Network (H3ABioNet) recognized the need for developing data portals for African genomic medicine and African microbiomes to address this and ran a hackathon to initiate their development. The two portals were designed and significant progress was made in their development during the hackathon. All the participants worked in a very synergistic and collaborative atmosphere in order to achieve the hackathon's goals. The participants were divided into content and technical teams and worked over a period of 6 days. In response to one of the survey questions of what the participants liked the most during the hackathon, 55% of the hackathon participants highlighted the familial and friendly atmosphere, the team work and the diversity of team members and their expertise. This paper describes the preparations for the portals hackathon and the interaction between the participants and reflects upon the lessons learned about its impact on successfully developing the two data portals as well as building scientific expertise of younger African researchers. Database URL: The code for developing the two portals was made publicly available in GitHub repositories: [https://github.com/codemeleon/Database; https://github.com/codemeleon/AfricanMicrobiomePortal].
