Abstract

Purpose This study aims to explore challenges arising from the development of teamwork in a new organizational structure, based on the experiences of the staff involved. Design/methodology/approach An explorative and qualitative approach was used, with individual interviews as the data collection method. These interviews were analyzed using qualitative and interpretative analysis with a modified editing style. Findings The results describe how the lack of essential organizational prerequisites for teamwork and the absence of the leadership qualities needed to facilitate teamwork contribute to difficulties in working in a team-orientated way. Shortage of information among the team members and few scheduled meetings signify insufficient coordination within the working team. Without a team leader who can keep things together, read the team members’ needs and support and guide them, team work is difficult to uphold because the members will need to seek support elsewhere. Assumed synergies from working together as team member experts will be thwarted. Originality/value This study contributes knowledge about the difficulties in creating team-orientated cooperation in a new organizational structure when leadership as well as structures and processes supporting team work are absent. The challenges described are drawn from the experiences of the staff concerned, providing insights to form a basis for theoretical and practical discussion.
员工如何在新的组织结构中体验团队合作的挑战
本研究旨在探讨在新的组织架构下,团队合作发展所面临的挑战,并结合相关员工的经验。设计/方法/方法采用探索性和定性方法,以个人访谈作为数据收集方法。这些访谈使用定性和解释性分析与修改编辑风格进行分析。研究结果描述了缺乏团队合作的必要组织先决条件和缺乏促进团队合作所需的领导素质如何导致以团队为导向的方式工作的困难。团队成员之间缺乏信息和很少安排会议表明工作团队内部协调不足。如果没有一个团队领导能够把事情放在一起,理解团队成员的需求,支持和指导他们,团队工作就很难维持,因为成员需要从其他地方寻求支持。作为团队成员和专家一起工作所产生的协同效应将受到阻碍。原创性/价值本研究提供了关于在新的组织结构中,当领导以及支持团队工作的结构和流程缺失时,创建团队导向合作的困难的知识。所描述的挑战来自有关工作人员的经验,提供见解,形成理论和实践讨论的基础。

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.
