Team Effectiveness 1997 2007: A Review of Recent Advancements and a Glimpse Into the Future
The authors review team research that has been conducted over the past 10 years. They discuss the nature of work teams in context and note the substantive differences underlying different types of teams. They then review representative studies that have appeared in the past decade in the context of an enhanced input process outcome framework that has evolved into an inputs mediators outcome time sensitive approach. They note what has been learned along the way and identify fruitful directions for future research. They close with a reconsideration of the typical team research investigation and call for scholars to embrace the complexity that surrounds modern team based organizational designs as we move forward.
