With increasing complexity and inter connectivity between software projects, it is not surprising that managing such large scale development projects can be expensive and extremely time consuming for the sponsoring organization. In large scale complex software projects the project manager has to ensure that enough resources are

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the teams that received interpersonal training would function more effectively as a team than the teams that did not receive training. Individuals from a large division of a major defense contractor in the southern part of the United States served as subjects. Data were collected using the Team Effectiveness Profile designed to measure team effectiveness. This survey measures the overall score as well as five sub-scores. It was hypothesized that the teams that received training would function more effectively than the teams that did not receiv

Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of a participative-type management approach termed self-managed work teams (SMWTs) and work spillover into the family environment. The perspective of isomorphism by Aldous (1969), and Rapoport and Rapoport (1965), was used as a paradigm to examine both positive and negative effects of the work-family relationship. A total of 76 employees from the Department of Defense's Quality Division was used in the regression analysis, due to recent transitions into SMWTs. Results reported overwhelming support for the perspective of isomorphism: over 40% of the variation

Abstract:

This report evaluates the team-structure of three software maintenance teams in order to decide their level of featureness (a term that defines to what extent a team has the quality (the set of characteristics) of being a feature team). Simulations of changes that are expressed as beneficial in an agile environment and that could increase the teams‘ level of featureness within the team structure are performed. The results show that each team‘s level of featureness is affected differently by each change. Partly, this underlines the importance of understanding the current team-structure before i

Abstract:

This study identified and defined leader behaviors with two levels of leadership in a self-managed team organization. Job analysis methodology was used. A comparison of task importance values was made within groups and between hierarchical levels in the organization. Identified leader behaviors were compared with effective, traditional leader performance. Qualitative data collected throughout the investigation clarified an integrative model for effective organizations developed from the literature. The model included leader characteristics and team member behaviors when using self-managed team

Abstract:

The present study empirically examined working behaviors of men and women within a self-managed working environment. Three models of women and work were studied. Results indicated women exhibited higher levels of job meaning and continuance commitment. The more self-managed production team exhibited higher levels of growth need strength, support from co-workers, continuance commitment, task significance and lower levels of role conflicts. Support teams exhibited higher levels of autonomy and satisfaction with pay. Path analysis, testing a model based on Astin's sociopsychological model indicat

Abstract:

Derived from sociotechnical systems theory, autonomous or self-managed work groups are a form of work design in which employees are multi-skilled, take responsibility for the group's tasks, and have discretion over the decisions which impact group performance. Previously collected survey data from 602 employees of a southwestern manufacturing firm were examined via factor analyses and multivariate analysis of variance. Significant differences were found for self-managed work group members versus traditional job holders regarding enhanced organizational involvement and enhanced work responsibil

Abstract:

Organizational changes are inevitable, yet up to 70% fail. Technological development and competition in a volatile environment require more flexible organizations. As such, implementing self-managed teams (SMTs) has become a more common approach. The fact that SMTs ought to be self-managed has further raised a debate, since it is argued that some form of manager still is required. Therefore, the following research question was proposed; How does the interplay of influences unfold between the manager and the organizational context when implementing SMTs? The purpose of the study is to increase

Abstract:

Organisational agility is growing more prominent within the banking sector. Performance of self-managed teams is specified as a component critical to better organisational agility. The contributing factors, which make self-managed teams, perform so well, are still not clearly understood. The high rate of failures in organisational change, brought on by employee resistance to change can also deter the adoption of these teams. The main objective of this research was to determine whether fulfilling the intrinsic motivators of autonomy, competence and relatedness described in self-determinat

Change interventions developed in the program have diffused through Australian industry over the decade.

This is a study of the organisational change to self-managed team working in UK-based manufacturing organisations. There are few models to guide research into the organisational change to team working and this study focuses on the under-researched area of the implementation process. Descriptions of team development models imply a smooth, linear change process. Yet this strategic change involves major restructuring at an operational level and in reality is a complex and political transition process that unfolds in unpredictable directions. This research proposes a processual framework to explor

Literature suggests that the implementation of SMPTs not only increases productivity in organisations but also contributes towards increasing employees’ involvement as the team is being managed by the team members rather than a formal leader who exists within the team. The team process involves people in different areas of expertise working together resulting in different opinions and views that are likely to cause

The twentieth century shift from the industrial society to the knowledge society must be met by a transition in management of human capital. This thesis seeks to design an implementation method based on goal-setting theory and other team based work designs that can be deployed by anyone in the company. The model accounts for the two largest barriers to successful implementation, management and labor unions. The new model is strengthened by a bottoms-up approach, on-the-job development of teaming skills, and inclusion of the labor union at the earliest stage possible.<br>text

Teams have become the standard way of working in organizations and therefore the question of what differentiates highly performing units from other teams has attracted much research attention. Especially the utilization of knowledge such as team members sharing their knowledge and the awareness of other members’ expertise can be decisive for team performance. Looking into the relationship between team member’s behaviors, team cognition and self-management encouraged by the leader, this study connects three streams of literature, namely voice, TMS and leadership, to reach a better underst

Thus, it can employ the ideas of parallel, concurrent or synchronous operations, to gain trenmendous flexible and speed competition advantages.
