Abstract

This study aims to explore key factors influencing the work of interdisciplinary university research teams of small size.,This is a multiple-case study of four interdisciplinary university research teams of small size in which science and/or engineering was an important component.,Data analysis revealed 17 critical factors classified into five groups. Although some factors were more influential than others, it was rather multiple factors at various levels of analysis, and not a single factor, that influenced the work of research teams. Another important finding was the identified need to develop project management capacity of university researchers. The study also revealed two strategies, conditioned on the availability of funds, that small university research teams use as a way to adapt to situational demands and research opportunities.,Although previous research examined various aspects pertinent to the work of industry research teams and large research groups, empirical research into interdisciplinary university research teams of small size has been limited.
影响小型跨学科大学研究团队的关键因素
本研究旨在探讨影响小型大学跨学科研究团队工作的关键因素。这是一个多案例研究,四个跨学科的小型大学研究团队,其中科学和/或工程是一个重要组成部分。数据分析揭示了17个关键因素,分为5类。虽然有些因素比其他因素更有影响力,但在各个分析层面上,影响研究团队工作的是多个因素,而不是单一因素。另一个重要的发现是确定需要发展大学研究人员的项目管理能力。该研究还揭示了两种策略,以资金的可用性为条件,小型大学研究团队将其作为适应情境需求和研究机会的一种方式。虽然以往的研究考察了与行业研究团队和大型研究团队工作相关的各个方面,但对小规模跨学科大学研究团队的实证研究仍然有限。

期刊介绍: This international journal contributes to the successful implementation and development of work teams and team-based organizations by providing a forum for sharing experience and learning to stimulate thought and transfer of ideas. It seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice by publishing articles where the claims are evidence-based and the conclusions have practical value. Effective teams form the heart of every successful organization. But team management is one of the hardest challenges faced by managers.
