Abstract

Marine experts have recognised the importance of on-board teamwork for a ship’s safe operation. The purpose of the study is to develop a framework of “on-board team effectiveness” as perceived by the seafarers with the help of conceptual categories discovered from the study. It describes and explain how members of floating shipboard team operates in a global environment which is dynamic, complex and full of challenges.,Qualitative research design was used to study wherein the grounded theory approach was adopted for data analysis. A purposive sample of 44 Indian seafarers covering all ranks and departments of the shipboard team were selected for the study. Primary data were collected through long interviews and focused group discussions with the respondents. Secondary data were collected through industry periodicals.,Ten conceptual categories were developed, and their interplay was identified to understand various aspects of shipboard team working in different contexts.,The insights gained from the study can be used to enhance shipboard team’s working and safe operation of the ship.,The study is unique in addressing team effectiveness issues of shipboard teams. Understanding teamwork effectiveness of a culturally diversified shipboard team shall facilitate safe working practices and act as a deterrent to human errors, which causes accidents and incidents.

船上团队效能框架:航运业的定性研究

海事专家已经认识到船上团队合作对船舶安全运行的重要性。本研究的目的是借助研究中发现的概念类别，制定海员所感知的“船上团队有效性”框架。它描述并解释了漂浮船上团队的成员如何在动态、复杂和充满挑战的全球环境中运作。，定性研究设计用于研究，其中采用扎根理论方法进行数据分析。选择了44名印度海员作为研究对象，他们涵盖了船上团队的所有级别和部门。主要数据是通过与受访者的长时间访谈和重点小组讨论收集的。二次数据通过行业期刊收集。，开发了十个概念类别，并确定了它们的相互作用，以了解船上团队在不同背景下工作的各个方面。，从研究中获得的见解可用于加强船上团队的工作和船舶的安全操作。，这项研究在解决船上团队的团队效能问题方面是独一无二的。了解文化多元化船上团队的团队合作效率，应促进安全工作实践，并对导致事故和事件的人为错误起到威慑作用。
