Abstract

In this paper, we draw insights from a 15-year qualitative research program exploring catastrophe insurance and gaps in insurance protection as risks escalate within a world impacted by a climate emergency. We suggest that the ebb-and-flow of our research team's composition and activities through time was inextricably linked with our ability to have a sustained impact on such a large-scale societal issue. The essay situates itself within the research impact and team literature, narrates the trajectory of our research program and team development, and develops a framework for effectively managing impact-oriented qualitative research teams over time. Our framework illustrates key aspects of this process including team (re)forming, building team and individual stickability, performing, and managing team flux. We also present 10 practical takeaways for how these aspects can be managed effectively to produce long-term impact work to address grand challenges.

通过研究团队的兴衰产生影响:对全球社会挑战的长期研究项目的反思*

在本文中，我们从一项为期15年的定性研究项目中得出了见解，该项目探索了在气候紧急情况影响下，随着风险的升级，巨灾保险和保险保护的缺口。我们认为，随着时间的推移，我们研究团队的组成和活动的兴衰与我们对如此大规模的社会问题产生持续影响的能力密不可分。本文将自己置于研究影响和团队文献中，叙述了我们的研究计划和团队发展的轨迹，并随着时间的推移，为有效管理影响导向的定性研究团队开发了一个框架。我们的框架说明了这个过程的关键方面，包括团队(重组)形成、建立团队和个人的粘性、执行和管理团队流动性。我们还提出了如何有效管理这些方面以产生长期影响工作以应对重大挑战的10个实际要点。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science was founded on the compelling observation that human beings and social systems undergo planned and unplanned change. Recognizing that individuals and groups may differ in how they create and evaluate change, the journal contributes to a body of knowledge about both change processes and outcomes. Toward this end, The Journal of Applied Behavioral Science provides a forum for constructive conversations about research and practice. The specific goals of the journal are to (a) present a range of conceptual frameworks that explain, predict, and illuminate the implications of action; (b) describe social inventions, intervention techniques, consultation activities, emergent innovations, and educational practices.
