“…Na mesma linha, Rezende (2002) Pode-se constatar a atual importância dos grupos de trabalho observando o seu crescente uso nas empresas, como uma ferramenta de melhoria da competitividade (BEYERLEIN, 2013). O uso de grupos de trabalho nas empresas tende a melhorar o seu desempenho, ao torná-las mais flexíveis e receptivas, se comparadas às hierarquias tradicionais, com a otimização do fluxo de informação, a melhoria da coordenação entre as funções, e a promoção do aprendizado organizacional (DELARUE et al, 2008;DESANCTIS;POOLE, 1997;SALAS;LATHAM, 2013).…”

Revista hospedada em: www.periodicosibepes.org.br Forma de avaliação: double blind review Esta revista é (e sempre foi) eletrônica para ajudar a proteger o meio ambiente, mas, caso deseje imprimir esse artigo, saiba que ele foi editorado com uma fonte mais ecológica, a Eco Sans, que gasta menos tinta.This journal is (and has always been) electronic in order to be more environmentally friendly. Now, it is desktop edited in a single column to be easier to read on the screen. However, if you wish to print this paper, be aware that it uses Eco Sans, a printing font that reduces the amount of required ink. ABSTRACTAlthough the literature on business-IT alignment is substantial, longitudinal studies on the social aspects of the alignment process are still relatively scarce. In this paper, we identify the social factors related to the characteristics and processes of multifunctional work groups that influence the process of operationally aligning IT services and business demands in organizations. To this end, we conducted an in-depth qualitative research on a self-managed cross-functional team composed of business and IT representatives who dealt with systems requirements in a multinational aeronautics turbine maintenance company in Brazil. We assessed the elements of Cohen and Bailey's (1997) group efficacy model, the roles described by Mathieu et al. (2015), as well the level of operational alignment in that context, over the years the team had been meeting. Our results highlight the importance of team characteristics and processes for the development of business-IT operational alignment.

“…Past investigations of e-communication behavior have shown that it is both complex and, notwithstanding much research done in the area, fairly unpredictable (DeSanctis et al, 1993;Postmes et al, 1998). In spite of this, an inspection of the e-communication literature strongly suggests the belief that e-communication behavior depends on a finite number of discrete factors.…”

“…Examples of these theories are the social influence model (Fulk et al, 1990), critical mass theory (Markus, 1990), adaptive structuration theory (DeSanctis and Poole, 1994;DeSanctis et al, 1993;Poole and DeSanctis, 1990), and the technology metastructuration model (Orlikowski et al, 1995).…”

Social environments are complex abstract structures made up of sets of stimuli, which are, by definition, are initially external to each individual and then become internalized as social information processing schemas (note: schemas = mental structures) through communication and learning processes.…”

“…FORUM DGSS defined the treatments, gathered subject perceptions, and received final comments. It portrayed the group position in an understandable way, managed the many-to-many exchange of position information, and devolved control to group members (DeSanctis, Poole, Dickson, & Jackson, 1993). Subjects worked at their own pace, using the following main menu as a procedural "road map": …”

Generating Agreement in Computer-Mediated Groups

Agreement is an important social outcome often poorly handled by computer-mediated groups, presumably because the computer cannot transmit the necessary rich information. A recently proposed cognitive model suggests richness is not the key to social agreement and that group agreement can be generated by the exchange of anonymous, lean text information across a computer network. This experiment investigates this theory. Self-chosen groups of 5 completed three answer rounds on limited choice problems while exchanging a few characters of position information. These asynchronous, anonymous computer-mediated groups generated agreement without any rich information exchange. The key software design criteria for enacting agreement is proposed to be not richness but dynamic many-to-many linkage. The resulting “electronic voting” may be as different from traditional voting as e-mail is from traditional mail. It may also imply a new generation of groupware that recognizes social influence.
