Abstract

Team formation brings together organizational members with complementary capabilities to address projects. This study examines how project-based organizations form teams in response to an ongoing stream of different projects. We consider team formation a phenomenon shaped by organization structure, project attributes, and learning from project experience. We address the effects of two alternative organization structures (functional and team-based) and four project attributes (project size, heterogeneity, decomposability, and ambiguity) on the efficiency of project team staffing. We build these features into two agent-based models grounded on nine case studies of project-based organizations. These models highlight how organizations achieve efficiency in team formation over time as transactive memory develops in response to ongoing project variation. Our models explain how organization structure and particular project attributes affect the development and application of transactive memory.

组织团队的形成：项目、结构和活动记忆

团队形成将具有互补能力的组织成员聚集在一起来处理项目。本研究考察了基于项目的组织如何在响应不同项目的持续流中形成团队。我们认为团队形成是一种由组织结构、项目属性和从项目经验中学习形成的现象。我们讨论了两种可选择的组织结构(功能性和基于团队的)和四种项目属性(项目规模、异质性、可分解性和模糊性)对项目团队人员配置效率的影响。我们基于9个基于项目的组织的案例研究，将这些特征构建到两个基于代理的模型中。这些模型强调了组织如何随着时间的推移，在响应正在进行的项目变化的过程中，随着交互记忆的发展，实现团队形成的效率。我们的模型解释了组织结构和特定的项目属性如何影响交互记忆的开发和应用。
