How Different Team Downsizing Approaches Influence Team-Level Adaptation And Performance
研究比较了三种结构性裁员方式对团队绩效的影响，发现裁员方式通过改变团队任务行为适应来影响绩效，且团队的情绪稳定性和外向性有助于缓解裁员带来的负面效应。
This study examined the relative effectiveness of three structural approaches to reducing team size. Seventy-one five-person teams engaged in a simulated interactive task in which the approach to downsizing was manipulated. Results suggest that the structural approaches to reducing team size differentially impact team performance, and this relationship is mediated by how and to what degree teams adapt their task-related behaviors. Moreover, results from this study emphasize the importance of team composition in cases of team downsizing. Specifically, emotional stability and extraversion can help mitigate the negative effects associated with reducing team size.
