Team Performance Archetypes: Toward a New Conceptualization of Team Performance Over Time
基于2007-2017年实证文献和希腊罗马神话,提出五种团队绩效随时间变化的轨迹原型(如朱庇特、伊卡洛斯等),旨在帮助研究者用成长建模方法进行理论构建和数据收集分析。
We examine the concept of team performance and propose a framework to understand patterns of change over time. Following a literature review on team performance (focusing on empirical articles published between 2007 and 2017) and drawing on Greek and Roman mythology, we identify five team performance trajectories: “Jupiter” (consistently high performing), “Neptune” (relatively steady, average performance), “Pluto” (low performing), “Icarus” (initially high performing, with a downward spiral), and “Odysseus” (initially low to midrange performing, with an upward spiral), which we refer to as “team performance archetypes.” We discuss how they might be used in conjunction with growth modeling methodology to help facilitate theory building and data collection/analysis with respect to team performance. In addition, we discuss the future research implications associated with using the archetypes to help conceptualize patterns of team performance over time.
