团队边界活动的概念构思、影响因素和结果<br>Team Boundary Activity: Conceptualization, Antecedents and Consequences

Abstract

团队边界活动指的是那些定向于外部环境并以此管理本团队与其他团队、组织以及外部群体之间关系的活动，它帮助团队获取、保护信息与资源，增强成员对团队的依附感。边界活动是多层次的概念，它受到来自于组织、团队、个体层面上的影响，并对团队效能、知识转移、创新等产生积极影响。未来还需要对团队边界活动的概念测量，以及内外部活动的平衡给予进一步探讨。 Team boundary activity is defined as team’s actions to establish linkages and to manage interac- tions with parties of the external environment. Such actions can assist a team in obtaining and securing re- sources and information, as well as enforcing members’ affiliation toward their team. Team boundary activity is a multilevel construct. Its antecedents include individual differences, as well as characteristics of groups and organizations. And it is able to boost team performance, knowledge transfer and innovation and so on. Future studies should pay much more attention to its conceptualization and measurement, and issues of equi- librium between internal and external activities.
