Antecedents and Consequences of Project Team Cross-Functional Cooperation
通过路径分析，发现超级目标、物理邻近性和正式规则通过影响跨职能合作来间接或直接影响项目成果，而跨职能合作本身能显著预测任务和心理社会成果。
Cross-functional teams can greatly facilitate the successful implementation of projects. This study examined the influence of a set four antecedent constructs (superordinate goals, accessibility, physical proximity and formalized rules and procedures) on the attainment of both cross-functional cooperation and perceived project outcomes. Through the use of path analysis, the results indicated that superordinate goals, physical proximity and project team rules and procedures have significant direct and/or indirect effects on project outcomes through influencing cross-functional cooperation. Further, cross-functional cooperation was a significant predictor of both perceived task and psychosocial project outcomes. Directions for management practice and future research are discussed.
