Team Orientation Research Articles

Peering into the team role kaleidoscope: the interplay of personal characteristics and verbal interactions in collaborative problem solving.

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between personality and peer-rated team role behavior on the one hand and team role behavior and verbal behavior on the other hand. To achieve this, different data types were collected in fifteen professional teams of four members (N = 60) from various private and public organizations in Flanders, Belgium. Participants' personalities were assessed using a workplace-contextualized personality questionnaire based on the Big Five, including domains and facets. Typical team role behavior was assessed by the team members using the Team Role Experience and Orientation peer rating system. Verbal interactions of nine of the teams (n = 36) were recorded in an educational lab setting, where participants performed several collaborative problem-solving tasks as part of a training. To process these audio data, a coding scheme for collaborative problem solving and linguistic inquiry and word count were used. We identified robust links and logical correlation patterns between personality traits and typical team role behaviors, complementing prior research that only focused on self-reported team behavior. For instance, a relatively strong correlation was found between Altruism and the Team builder role. Next, the study reveals that role taking within teams is associated with specific verbal interaction patterns. For example, members identified as Organizers were more engaged in responding to others' ideas and monitoring execution.

Counterproductive work behavior reviewed by organizational culture in millennial employees

Purpose: Counterproductive work behavior is deviant behavior carried out by individuals that causes losses to the company and its members. One of the generations working as employees in the current era is the millennial generation or commonly known as generation Y. This research aims to examine the influence of organizational culture on counterproductive work behavior among millennial employees. Method: This research method is quantitative using a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire using a Likert scale. In this study, the researcher determined using a cluster sampling technique to obtain a sample of 130 respondents from six companies. The analytical tests used are Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and multiple regression. Result: The results of the multiple linear regression test show that there is a significant influence on organizational culture variables (innovation and risk taking, attention to detail), results orientation, people orientation, team orientation, aggressiveness, stability) on counterproductive work behavior among millennial employees. Organizational culture has a significant influence on counterproductive work behavior, namely innovation and risk taking variables have a positive influence and contribute 11.4%, then results orientation has a negative influence and contributes 56.5%, then people orientation has a negative influence and contributes 23 .1%. %. Team orientation also has a positive influence and contributes 14.3%, while aggressiveness has a positive influence and contributes 20.9%, while other variables that have no influence on counterproductive work behavior are the variables attention to detail and stability. Conclusion: In the future this research can become a reference for further research by paying attention to other variables such as personality, job characteristics, work group characteristics, and organizational injustice.

Telemedicine and Teamwork Among Health Care Professionals: State of the Science.

Background: As telemedicine becomes further rooted in standard patient care delivery, it is critical to understand how it may affect teamwork among health care providers. Understanding the state of the science between telemedicine and teamwork is an important first step. Obejctive: The purpose of this state-of-the-science review was to synthesize the published research on teamwork within the context of telemedicine. Methods: Data abstraction and analysis were structured following the Virtual Team Performance and the "Big Five" of Teamwork theoretical frameworks. The concepts within these models were used to organize data extraction. This state of the science used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Results: A total of 14 studies met the inclusion criteria after final review. The most common variables were communication, tasks, leadership, team orientation, and team cohesion. Despite variable commonalities across the included articles, there was a discrepancy between improved and reduced teamwork outcomes with telemedicine. Conclusions: Multiple teamwork variables are influential across health care teams using telemedicine technologies-those that include communication, task facilitation, leadership, team orientation, and cohesion appear to have the greatest impact. However, it is not an individual teamwork variable, type of technology, or care environment alone that influences positive or negative outcomes among health care teams using telemedicine. Instead, it is a combination of factors and mechanisms that facilitate or hinder teamwork outcomes. A comprehensive model that describes the interaction of these common variables in teamwork among blended virtual and in-person health care teams is needed.

A Sim-Learnheuristic for the Team Orienteering Problem: Applications to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

In this paper, we introduce a novel sim-learnheuristic method designed to address the team orienteering problem (TOP) with a particular focus on its application in the context of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Unlike most prior research, which primarily focuses on the deterministic and stochastic versions of the TOP, our approach considers a hybrid scenario, which combines deterministic, stochastic, and dynamic characteristics. The TOP involves visiting a set of customers using a team of vehicles to maximize the total collected reward. However, this hybrid version becomes notably complex due to the presence of uncertain travel times with dynamically changing factors. Some travel times are stochastic, while others are subject to dynamic factors such as weather conditions and traffic congestion. Our novel approach combines a savings-based heuristic algorithm, Monte Carlo simulations, and a multiple regression model. This integration incorporates the stochastic and dynamic nature of travel times, considering various dynamic conditions, and generates high-quality solutions in short computational times for the presented problem.

A Weighted and Epsilon-Constraint Biased-Randomized Algorithm for the Biobjective TOP with Prioritized Nodes

This paper addresses a multiobjective version of the Team Orienteering Problem (TOP). The TOP focuses on selecting a subset of customers for maximum rewards while considering time and fleet size constraints. This study extends the TOP by considering two objectives: maximizing total rewards from customer visits and maximizing visits to prioritized nodes. The MultiObjective TOP (MO-TOP) is formulated mathematically to concurrently tackle these objectives. A multistart biased-randomized algorithm is proposed to solve MO-TOP, integrating exploration and exploitation techniques. The algorithm employs a constructive heuristic defining biefficiency to select edges for routing plans. Through iterative exploration from various starting points, the algorithm converges to high-quality solutions. The Pareto frontier for the MO-TOP is generated using the weighted method, epsilon-constraint method, and Epsilon-Modified Method. Computational experiments validate the proposed approach’s effectiveness, illustrating its ability to generate diverse and high-quality solutions on the Pareto frontier. The algorithms demonstrate the ability to optimize rewards and prioritize node visits, offering valuable insights for real-world decision making in team orienteering applications.

An empirical analysis of individual and collective determinants of international research collaboration

International research collaboration is a crucial determinant of scientific productivity, but it remains an underdeveloped task for governments, universities and research systems. Despite important economic and institutional efforts to promote collaborations, not all researchers establish successful international connections during their academic careers. This lack of international contacts hinders knowledge transfer from a broader perspective, limiting, in a way, the advancement of science. This paper analyses these factors—individual and collective—affecting research collaboration in the international context through a hierarchical multiple regression analysis of a sample of 954 Spanish academic researchers. We found that collective factors such as research team social capital—including structural and cognitive dimensions—and team orientation toward research and team productivity clearly affect international collaboration levels. Furthermore, contrary to our expectations, researchers’ human capital and motivation, and the principal investigator’s knowledge-oriented leadership, exerted only a very weak effect, which also is discussed in the paper’s final section.

ICT Team Dual-Innovations in the Microlevel of Circular Supply Chain Management: Explicit-Tacit Knowledge, Exchange Ideology, and Leadership Support

An emerging information communication technology (ICT) triggers circular supply chain management (CSCM), there is still much to be addressed effectively, especially at the microlevel of CSCM. The purpose of this article is to build an integrated model for ICT team exploratory and exploitative innovation in the lens of CSCM and circular economy context. Our analysis was supported by 124 industries-ICT teams (368 participants) in Indonesia. We used structural equational model SmartPLS to validate the development model and Sobel approach to confirm the mediation hypothesis. Supply chain manager, ICT department, and industries executive level are suggested to encourage knowledge sharing practices both explicit and tacit knowledge. Firm's supply chain may follow path-goal leaders to promote effectively circular supply chain management. It is also highlighted that exchange ideology as a moderator help leader to understand their team orientation and contribution to knowledge sharing activities and leader's characteristics. We contribute to a microlevel of CSCM context and new understanding of how explicit-tacit knowledge sharing (mediator), exchange ideology (moderator), and leaders support in ICT team exploratory-exploitative innovation, and as new foundation for future studies on cross-CSCM ICT team including encourage more detailed analysis of exchange ideology orientation.

Vom Burnout zur Balance – Programme in deutschen Krankenhäusern

From burnout to balance – programmes in German hospitals. Grey literature review with semi-structured interviews Objective: Healthcare professionals are increasingly being affected by stress and burnout. This review evaluates current stress and burnout-prevention projects in respect of content and implementation. The findings serve as a basis for developing a programme for nurses and physicians that is compatible with everyday practice. Methods: A grey literature search was conducted on Google and Google scholar search machines between 11 March and 14 April 2022, limited to the years ≥ 2017. Projects included were focused on workplace health promotion for (1) nurses or/and physicians at German hospitals, (2) conducted in in-person, blended or hybrid form, (3) offered as modules or consecutively, that (4) explicitly aimed to reduce stress or to prevent burnout with resilience or mindfulness-based interventions. Project leads were interviewed between 1 June and 30 July 2022. Results: Of 55 projects identified, five were included. The projects were 1) peer-based stress training; 2) an empathy-based project concept; 3) a carefocused webinar; 4) a tailored nurse workshop project; and 5) a blended weekly e-learning online course on healthy routines and relaxation. Four of the five are being evaluated scientifically. Interview results emphasise a lowthreshold course design, target group and team orientation, the importance of institutional integration and systematic anchoring. Conclusions: Projects aimed at preventing stress and burnout exist at some German hospitals but vary significantly in content and scientific evaluation. This review reflects the importance of need-based approaches that not only strengthen between the individual and teams in a good balance, but also foster incremental organisational changes beyond behavioural aspects for mental health among healthcare professionals. Keywords: burnout – stress – healthcare professionals – prevention – occupational health promotion

The level of teamwork and associated factors in the selected hospitals from the nurses' perspective: A cross-sectional study

Background & Aim: Teamwork represents a fundamental prerequisite for providing quality and safe care. This study aimed to determine the level of teamwork and the factors that influence the level of teamwork in selected hospitals in the Slovak Republic.
 Methods & Materials: The descriptive cross-sectional study included 207 nurses from 12 departments of three district hospitals in the Slovak Republic. Data were collected between November 2022 and February 2023 using a questionnaire that evaluated nursing teamwork, the Nursing Teamwork Survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
 Results: Nurses evaluated the level of teamwork as (3.74± 0.64), which means ideal less than 75% of the time during the last working shift. The best-rated subscale was the Shared mental model (4.17± 0.49), while the worst-rated subscale was Team orientation (2.47± 0.85). Differences in teamwork level were found based on unit type, education, number of hours worked, number of overtime hours, and perceived staff adequacy (p≤ 0.05). The correlation analysis revealed associations between teamwork and job satisfaction, teamwork satisfaction, subjective quality evaluation, and patient safety, as well as with the number of patients in the last shift, including the number of admitted and discharged patients.
 Conclusion: By regularly determining teamwork levels, it is possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of nursing teams. Analyzing team weaknesses and implementing targeted measures can lead to strengthening teamwork and improving team functioning.

The relationships between relative age effect, personality constructs and achievement level in soccer.

Youth soccer academies are challenged with the constant recruitment process of young talented players to select those who will achieve long-term success as an athlete. Youth soccer academies strive to enhance the physical and technical skill development as well as personality development of talented players because psychological characteristics play a crucial role in players' future success in their transition to professional soccer. The least mature players and relatively young players may have a greater need to possess superior technical/tactical or psycho-behavioral skills than those relatively older counterparts because of the higher selection rates of early maturing players. Due to RAEs, a significant decrease in the overall quality of professional soccer teams might be observed because of the loss of talent of physically smaller, but psychologically stronger and more versatile relatively young players who possess proper technical and tactical attributes at an early age. The first objective of this study was to examine any possible relationship between RAE and personality constructs. A second objective was to identify factors and effects that can help in the further improvement of talent selection and equal opportunities for elite youth soccer players based on their underlying RAE. The third objective was to consider the impact of RAE on long-term career development. In this retrospective observational study, 151 elite youth soccer players between 15 and 18 years of age were first grouped in birth quartiles. Personality constructs were then assessed, using a combination of observations, interviews, and a self-assessment questionnaire. Next competition level after 8 years was evaluated to identify RAEs, differences in personality characteristics and opportunities to reach professional soccer player status between relatively older vs. younger players. A clear significant RAE was observed for the whole database (Q1 = 38.4% vs. Q4 = 13.9%) with OR of 2.61 (χ2 = 19.46, p < 0.01, r = -0.85). Relatively young players had higher median scores on personality constructs such as self-confidence (p = 0.04), while relatively old players had higher median scores on personality constructs such as team orientation (p = 0.03). In the long term, more players of the youngest birth quartile were signed as professional players (76.2%), compared with relatively old players (46.6%). 65.0% of the 20 players had the highest total score on personality constructs developed as a professional soccer player, vs. 35.0% of the 20 players with the lowest scores. In conclusion, this study showed not only further evidence of the RAE but also provided evidence supporting "the underdog hypothesis" in national elite youth teams. Relatively young players were also more likely to get higher value senior professional contracts in the long term. We propose that this may be due to the relatively young players developing superior psychological skills and technical expertise to compensate for their early physical disadvantage. This in turn suggests the need for greater awareness of the importance of personality constructs in the future development of youth elite soccer players. Therefore, the crux of the issue is how youth soccer academies elicit the "best of both worlds" ie. moderating RAE whilst also gaining the benefits of the underdog hypothesis by creating the right environment for every player to develop to their full potential in elite youth soccer academies.

Determinants of an effective digital transformation in construction organisations: a qualitative investigation

PurposeDigital uptake amongst construction organisations is described as slow and ineffective, undermining a fundamental transformation and limiting construction firms from exploiting the digital benefits. In this space, meaningful research that utilises a qualitative approach in pursuit for employees' insights towards digital transformation is lacking. Such limited focus from previous efforts presents an opportunity to illuminate the determinants of an effective digital transformation that are, arguably, responsible for the status quo of low digital uptake in the construction sector. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned idea.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a qualitative approach to address the literature's digital discreetness in construction. The qualitative approach captures employees' perspectives through its unbounded characteristic of encouraging illustration and discussion.FindingsThis paper captures 35 digital transformation determinants under three clusters, namely, organisation related, i.e. hierarchy, size and management, people related, i.e. team orientation, training and knowledge and leadership related, i.e. awareness, attitude, approach and leaders' characteristics. Findings suggest a new set of arguments in relation to understudied factors and their influence on the digital uptake in construction organisations.Originality/valueThis paper offers empirical indication of the determinants believed to influence an effective digital transformation in construction organisations. Such conceptualisation is crucial and is depicted as perceived by construction employees and practitioners, which is a less biased approach than that of comparable studies that argue the viewpoints of industry leaders in isolation of other members of the hierarchy.

UAV search optimization for recording emerging targets with camouflaging capabilities

This paper extends the emerging target information gathering domain by introducing a camouflaging component, investigating the benefit of using multiple UAVs, and studying the impact of allowing re-visits. Previous work in this area addresses the UAV Orienteering Problem for target detection where targets emerge according to non-homogeneous space–time Poisson processes. Our extension considers that emerged targets will camouflage themselves to become undetectable after a period of time and nodes can be revisited. Routes for single or multiple UAVs are generated using the Team Orienteering Problem with Time Windows and evaluated using simulation. In addition, a framework is developed for comparing routes, and the value added by increasing the solving time is investigated. Our computational testing reveals increasing the number of time windows used increases the expected route value. A factorial analysis is conducted which indicates the network topology, the number of time windows used, and the coefficient of variation for camouflage time generally have significant effects on the expected number of targets detected regardless of the number of UAVs used. In addition, increasing the amount of time spent solving the problem does not always increase the number of expected target detected.
