Abstract

Conflict is a common subject of research on engineering teams. While some conflict may improve team creativity and productivity, it can also detract from team member satisfaction, perceived team efficacy, and overall team performance. In this paper, we present a preliminary framework for identifying conflict within engineering design dyads using a case study approach. Using this framework, we identified instances of conflict in one male-male and one female-male engineering dyad performing a brief engineering design task. We identified more instances of conflict in the male-male dyad than the female-male dyad; however, this conflict appeared to be productive. An implication of this research for educators is to encourage argumentation within the teamwork occurring in their classroom. Students should understand that conflict can be constructive and improve their team's ability to move iteratively through the design process.
正在进行的工作:工程设计对偶中冲突的类型和频率的案例研究
冲突是工程团队研究的一个常见主题。虽然一些冲突可能会提高团队的创造力和生产力,但它也会降低团队成员的满意度、团队效能感和整体团队绩效。在本文中,我们提出了一个初步的框架,以确定冲突工程设计双使用案例研究的方法。利用这一框架,我们确定了一名男性工程师和一名女性工程师在执行一项简短的工程设计任务时发生冲突的实例。我们发现雄性和雄性的冲突比雌性和雄性的冲突更多;然而,这种冲突似乎是有成效的。这项研究对教育工作者的一个启示是鼓励他们在课堂上进行团队合作。学生们应该明白,冲突可以是建设性的,可以提高他们的团队在设计过程中迭代的能力。
