Key Indicators Influencing Team Effectiveness in Project-Based Team

Abstract

Teamwork is essential for any organizations to undertake particular purposes. Team members work together as a group combining their knowledge and skill to attain higher productivity and performance. An effective team is considered desired to achieve optimal performance. However, there are only a few studies of effectiveness in teams which are operated based on projects. This paper identifies and classifies the critical indicators of effectiveness in project-based teams to garner invaluable insights into how they influence team outcomes. We conduct a systematic literature review to categorize a set of indicators that affect team effectiveness based on human resource and project management literature. We follow the review method and reveal eighteen indicators of effectiveness from thirty-five publications as the basis for transforming project-based teams into effective teams. The result provides deeper insights into the importance of exercising and improving teamwork. Additionally, this paper recognizes a complex system of interdependence among indicators and identifies potential issues in adopting a strategy for the project-based team in organizations. The paper contributes to the current knowledge by providing the necessary groundwork for further research and development in this area.

Por lo tanto, el diseño de un buen plan de proyecto, que tenga en cuenta los equipos virtuales, es una parte esencial de la adición de valor durante la ejecución, y este es un área de investigación donde se profundiza en este estudio.…”
