Teamwork in extreme environments: Lessons, challenges, and opportunities
本特刊通过五篇跨学科论文,探讨极端环境中团队合作的影响因素,总结研究经验、挑战与未来机遇,为相关领域研究者提供参考。
Summary Given the numerous calls for researchers to examine teams in the wild to better understand the impact of context on team dynamics and performance, there has been increased consideration of teams operating within extreme environments. As such, this special issue is focused on better understanding the factors that shape teamwork in extreme environments so that the lessons learned can be leveraged within extreme as well as in other team contexts as appropriate. To this end, we present five exemplar papers that span disciplines, address diverse research questions in unique samples, and employ varied methodologies and research designs. Each of these papers not only contributes new insights to the understanding of teams in extreme environments (i.e., lessons) but also highlights the challenges that exist in conducting research in such contexts and sets the stage for additional opportunities within the extreme team literature moving forward.
