Abstract

Creation of new knowledge in teams requires collaboration among its team members. Although individual creativity is important, no single individual possesses all the skills and knowledge necessary to deal with complexity in knowledge work.  Therefore, team cohesion is considered a prerequisite in innovation. However, in this study we argue that team cohesion could be a double edged sword. It could even be detrimental to innovation at high levels of team cohesion. The findings of this study with 56 software projects quantitatively support this premise. These findings have useful implications for practitioners engaged in knowledge work
团队凝聚力是促进软件开发项目创新的一把双刃剑吗?
在团队中创造新知识需要团队成员之间的协作。虽然个人的创造力很重要,但没有一个人拥有处理复杂知识工作所需的全部技能和知识。因此,团队凝聚力被认为是创新的先决条件。然而,在这项研究中,我们认为团队凝聚力可能是一把双刃剑。它甚至可能对团队凝聚力较高的创新产生不利影响。对56个软件项目的研究结果定量地支持了这一前提。这些发现对从事知识工作的实践者有有益的启示
