Document Summary

Teams at work by williams and allen (2008) Work teams: interdependent collections of individuals who share responsibility for specific outcomes for their organization. Although positive effects of interactive teams are reported in some laboratory studies, most report either null or negative effects. Research does not reveal strong consistence evidence regarding the performance superiority of teams. Allen and hecht argued that overall the evidence regarding the effectiveness of teams must be described as modest at best and noted the apparent mismatch between this evidence and the enthusiasm with which teams are greeted. Allen and hecht have argued that there is good evidence suggesting team based activity has social emotional benefits. The 60"s and 70"s saw a decline in research and team research can be really considered to have begun in the mid 1970"s and 1980"s. Hackman and morris conceptualized team effectives from a system perspective and thus proposed that team inputs lead to team processes which, in turn, lead to outcomes.
