ASYMMETRIC ADAPTABILITY: DYNAMIC TEAM STRUCTURES AS ONE-WAY STREETS.
研究团队在指挥控制模拟中从职能结构转向分部结构时表现更好，协调能力中介、认知能力调节这一差异，挑战了权变理论中对称适应的假设。
This study tested whether teams working on a command and control simulation adapted to structural change in the manner implied by contingency theories. Teams shifting from a functional to a divisional structure showed better performance than teams making a divisional-to-functional shift. Team levels of coordination mediated this difference, and team levels of cognitive ability moderated it. We argue that the static logic behind many contingency theories should be complemented with a dynamic logic challenging the assumption of symmetrical adaptation.
