Abstract
Today, most endeavours require teamwork by people with diverse skills and characteristics. In managing teamwork, decisions are often made under uncertainty and resource constraints. The strategies and the effectiveness of the strategies different people adopt to manage teamwork under different situations have not yet been fully explored, partially due to a lack of detailed large-scale data. In this paper, we describe a multi-faceted large-scale dataset to bridge this gap. It is derived from a game simulating complex project management processes. It presents the participants with different conditions in terms of team members’ capabilities and task characteristics for them to exhibit their decision-making strategies. The dataset contains detailed data reflecting the decision situations, decision strategies, decision outcomes, and the emotional responses of 1,144 participants from diverse backgrounds. To our knowledge, this is the first dataset simultaneously covering these four facets of decision-making. With repeated measurements, the dataset may help establish baseline variability of decision-making in teamwork management, leading to more realistic decision theoretic models and more effective decision support approaches.

Background & SummaryThe complex social, economic, engineering, and scientific activities of today’s world often require effective teamwork if successful outcomes are to be achieved
A team usually consists of members with diverse capabilities who collaborate, often under the leadership of a team manager, towards a common purpose
The effectiveness of teamwork management decisions depends on the complex interactions between team members’ capabilities and characteristics, the team manager’s decision-making strategies, and the nature of the tasks to be undertaken by the team
Summary
The complex social, economic, engineering, and scientific activities of today’s world often require effective teamwork if successful outcomes are to be achieved. Multiple decision theoretic approaches (e.g., Choice under Uncertainty[3], Inter-temporal Choice[4], and Complex Decisions5) are involved Under such situations, which can be broadly characterized as decision-making under uncertainty and resource constraints, decisions may not always result in desirable outcomes[6]. The game puts participants into various scenarios of managing a team of virtual worker agents (WAs) with diverse characteristics It unobtrusively collects participants’ sequential decision-making behaviour trajectory data over time under various conditions of uncertainty and resource constraints. Help establish baseline variability of decision-making under uncertainty and resource constraints This unique dataset aims to accelerate the research leading to more realistic, evidence-based models and effective decision support approaches
