What Makes Teams Work: Group Effectiveness Research from the Shop Floor to the Executive Suite
综述1990至1996年组织情境中的团队研究，提出一个启发式框架，将团队有效性视为任务、群体、组织设计、环境、内外过程及群体心理社会特征的函数，并比较工作、并行、项目和管理四类团队的研究发现。
In this article, we summarize and review the research on teams and groups in organization settings published from January 1990 to April 1996. The article focuses on studies in which the dependent variables are concerned with various dimensions of effectiveness. A heuristic framework illustrating recent trends in the literature depicts team effectiveness as a function of task, group, and organization design factors, environmental factors, internal processes, external processes, and group psychosocial traits. The review discusses four types of teams: work, parallel, project, and management. We review research findings for each type of team organized by the categories in our heuristic framework. The article concludes by comparing the variables studied for the different types of teams, highlighting the progress that has been made, suggesting what still needs to be done, summarizing key leamings from the last six years, and suggesting areas for further research.
