A Configural Theory of Team Processes: Accounting for the Structure of Taskwork and Teamwork
该理论运用社会网络概念，从闭合性、集中化和子群化三个维度描述任务工作与团队工作的结构构型，挑战了团队过程越多越好的传统观点，并揭示了结构构型中的权衡取舍。
Theories of team processes have focused on content and temporal relevance, while largely ignoring implications of structure. We apply social network concepts to propose theory that articulates structural configurations of taskwork and teamwork processes in terms of closure, centralization, and subgrouping. Our theory challenges the conventional view that increases in team processes are inherently and uniformly beneficial and explains how structural configurations involve trade-offs that must be acknowledged in our research and practice.
