讲座摘要:

Conventional wisdom often assumes that team performance is determined by the majority of team members. As a result, contemporary team research tends to adopt a heuristic, simplified model to study teams by focusing on team overall properties (e.g., the average of team personality and behavior), while neglecting the unique influences of specific members on team outcomes. Specifically, previous studies rely on a questionable assumption that individuals within a team tend to be interchangeable and play an equal role in driving team success (i.e., isomorphism, Kozlowski & Klein, 2000). However, in a set of studies, drawing from a social network perspective, we demonstrate some most exciting advancement in teams research and study teams from a “microdynamic” perspective.  Specifically, we focus on the unique influences of specific individual members and team collaboration patterns on team processes and outcomes. We hope that our studies will catalyze future research to continue this line of research.
