Athanasaw, Yvonne. "Team characteristics and team member knowledge, skills, and ability relationships to the effectiveness of cross-functional teams in the public sector". International Journal of Public Administration. 26.10/11 (2003): 1165.
Abstract: This study examines members of cross-functional teams in the public sector for the necessary knowledge, skills, and ability (KSA) to be effective team members. It was determined that members of cross-functional teams in the public sector possess the necessary KSA to perform effectively. The following characteristics are statistically significant factors: (1) years of professional work experience; (2) frequency of team participation; (3) the type of team training, i.e., collaboration and performance management; and (4) (volunteered, assigned, requested), specifically volunteer and requested. The findings are significant in that some guidelines on team formation. They members, team members should be ensure that the team members have collaboration and performance management. The findings are significant for employees as well. To acquire experience, employees should be interested in participating in a team environment (i.e., volunteering for the assignment). They should participate on numerous teams, so that they can become more effective as team members. Employees should acquire training in specific team skills (i.e., collaboration and performance management) to help them better understand how to work within the team and the team members and get results.

Chinowsky, Paul S. and Eddy M. Rojas. "Virtual teams: guide to successful implementation". Journal of Management in Engineering. 19.3 (2003): 98.
Abstract: The successful initiation and execution of a virtual team is gaining increasing attention in the design and construction community. From opportunities to integrate international and multidisciplinary teams to the opportunity to leverage the best resources in an organization on a given project, virtual teams can transform the concept of project planning and execution. However, potential barriers exist in several areas to the successful implementation of virtual teams. The needs of increased management emphasis, social and cultural understanding, and emphasis on common goals are only a few of the nontechnical factors that can turn successful virtual teaming into virtual frustration. When combined with traditional technical challenges including compatibility of systems, security, and the selection of appropriate technologies, the line between leveraging virtual technologies for enhanced solutions and introducing additional complications into the project process is one that can be easily crossed. This paper presents the findings of research that addresses the opportunities and potential barriers to successful virtual teams in the engineering, procurement, and construction industry. Combining results from current research, industry practices, and early results from nonconstruction industries, the research findings provide an initial path to successful virtual team. Full Text
Ericksen, Jeff and Lee Dyer. "Right from the start: exploring the effects of early team events on subsequent project team development and performance". Administrative Science Quarterly. 49.3 (2004): 438.
Abstract: This study examines if high- and low-performing project teams differ with respect to how they are mobilized and launched and the effects of their mobilization and launch activities and outputs on subsequent team progress and performance. Comparisons of three high- and three low-performing teams drawn from five major corporations showed that the high performers mobilized relatively quickly, used comprehensive rather than limited mobilization strategies, and conducted participatory rather than programmed launch meetings. This combination of activities produced a constellation of salutary outputs: more time for the teams to do their work, team members with essential task-related competencies and sufficient time to contribute to their projects, and complete rather than partial performance strategies. In turn, the three salutary outputs formed a constellation of key inner resources that propelled the high-performing teams on a virtuous path of reinforcing activities and outputs that, despite difficulties, ultimately led to success, whereas the absence of one or more of these resources led the low-performing teams down a vacuous path of accumulating confusion and inactivity from which they never recovered.

Furst, Stacie A. et al. "Managing the life cycle of virtual teams". Academy of Management Executive. 18.2 (2004): 6.
Abstract: In the fast-paced, technology-driven 21 st century, virtual project teams represent a growing response to the need for high-quality, low-cost, rapid solutions to complex organizational problems. Virtual project teams enable organizations to pool the talents and expertise of employees (and non-employees) by eliminating time and space barriers. Yet, there is growing evidence that virtual teams fail more often than they succeed. To understand the factors that contribute to virtual team effectiveness, we tracked six virtual project teams from a large food distribution company from inception to project delivery. We identified factors at each stage of the virtual-team life cycle that affected team performance. These results provide specific examples of what managers can do, at various points in time, to increase a virtual team's chances to fully develop and contribute to firm performance. Full Text
Thamhain, Hans J. "Leading technology-based project teams". American Society for Engineering Management. 16.2 (2004): 35.
Abstract: The results of a field study of technology-based projects identify specific barriers and drivers to effective team performance. The article provides insight into the organizational environment and managerial leadership conducive to high project performance in technology-oriented team environments. The results suggest that many of the performance criteria have their locus outside of the project organization; yet managerial leadership, at both the project level and senior management level, has significant impact on the team environment that ultimately affects team and project performance. In addition to managing the technical aspects of the project, team leaders must pay particular attention to the people side, managing relations across the entire work process, including support functions, suppliers, sponsors, and partners. An engineering manager can use this article to gain additional perspective into the processes of teamwork, and to glean ideas for enhancing project team performance in technology-based organizations.
