Abstract

Effective team management is one of the key factors that allow companies to tackle the challenges of today's demanding business environment. Although high-performing teams have been studied for some time, very little has been written on them from the construction industry's perspective. Based on the conclusions of previous work and on a project involving 44 professionals of seven teams, this exploratory case study intends to evaluate if there is a gap between what team members and leaders perceive as being a the most important features for managing teams into high performance and b the features that are present in their teams. The present study shows that, although teams under investigation had some high-performing features at the leadership dimension, there is room for improvement, in particular when it comes to empowering team members, involving them in planning the work, and creating proper reward systems.
高绩效团队:认知与现实相符吗?
有效的团队管理是让公司应对当今苛刻的商业环境挑战的关键因素之一。虽然研究高绩效团队已经有一段时间了,但从建筑行业的角度来看,关于他们的文章很少。基于先前工作的结论和涉及7个团队的44名专业人员的项目,本探索性案例研究旨在评估团队成员和领导者认为的管理团队获得高绩效的最重要特征与团队中存在的特征之间是否存在差距。目前的研究表明,尽管被调查的团队在领导方面有一些高绩效的特征,但仍有改进的空间,特别是在赋予团队成员权力、让他们参与工作规划和建立适当的奖励制度方面。
