“…Social sensitivity is an aspect of empathy (personal ability) that helps a person to understand the feelings of others in a group [50]. A previous study on students performing long-term research showed that team sensitivity was highly correlated with project team performance [51].…”

“…A previous study on students performing long-term research showed that team sensitivity was highly correlated with project team performance [51]. It is one of the most important factors that helps a team to successfully perform a variety of tasks [50]. Team members with high levels of sensitivity to team needs find it easier to trust each other, and they are not afraid to share their opinion.…”

Team communication plays a vital role in engineering management, however, there is a paucity of work that examines how team roles emerge as a response to the communicative processes between participants. This research explored role adoption using qualitative methods comprising observations, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Five student teams doing final year projects at a university in New Zealand were observed during the academic year and then interviewed at the final stage of project completion. A number of team roles in the engineering context were identified for students and their supervisors: Explorer; Initiator; Facilitator; Active and Passive Information Provider; Outsider; Active and Passive Connector; Passive Collector; Arbitrator; Gatekeeper and Representative. Personal factors, such as social sensitivity, were correlated with the choice of team behaviour pattern. In addition, the team roles could be arranged in circular order to create a circumplex, the two axes of which were identified as Personal Agency/Communion and Social engagement/Social disengagement.

“…Social awareness is one component of a larger model of personal competence that also includes emotional competence, physical competence, conceptual intelligence, and practical intelligence. Social awareness has been used to study team performance activities and results showed that being aware of one's social group increases members' satisfaction [1]. Furthermore, social awareness manifests as empathy: an emotional competence that considers other's needs and concerns.…”

Despite growing emphasis on the factors affecting different types of supports users receive from virtual health support communities (VHSC), theoretical knowledge on how social awareness capabilities determine the extent of the support received is yet to be investigated. Adopting social awareness theory and using data collected from the COVID-19 support community on a large VHSC platform, we apply linguistic analysis to measure the impacts of three social awareness variables-social sensitivity, social insight, and social communication-on users' response and support behaviors. The ordinary least square regression results show that social insight significantly influenced the number of replies to a post. In addition, results from the negative binomial regression also indicate that social sensitivity and social communication significantly predicted the number of support votes and thanks votes a user's post received. The findings reveal some important research and practical implications on the need to facilitate social awareness in VHSC forums.

“…Furthermore, teams with a higher proportion of women demonstrate stronger relationships and increased communication between members 31 suggesting that the experience and knowledge of all team members can be better engaged when a critical number of women are involved 30 . Thus, gender diversity, by the very fact that it inherently increases the number of women involved, enhances the aforementioned elements of communication, collaboration, conflict resolution and engagement of all team members 6,30,31 to the benefit of other underrepresented groups. Increasing the proportion of women across all levels of a team, forms a climate that encourages meaningful participation of all team members, irrespective of individual group membership 31,43,45 .…”

Examining gender diversity growth as a model for inclusion of all underrepresented persons in medical physics

The labour force of Medical Physics is one of the most gender diverse in the field of Physics, as it has attained the proportional achievement of ~30% women worldwide 1. While great strides have been made towards a gender diverse workforce, women still comprise an underrepresented group. Many strategies have been suggested to increase the participation of underrepresented persons by addressing unconscious biases, increasing opportunities, dedicated hiring policies and providing support networks in science and medicine 2,3 , yet the personnel landscape remains largely uniform. Herein, the conditions, strategies, and approaches that facilitated gender diversity in Medical Physics are considered as a means to further the inclusion of other underrepresented groups through exemplars of mentorship, addressing unconscious biases and the implementation of inclusive practices. Furthermore, the potential for gender diversity to act as a catalyst to create an environment that is more accepting of diversity and supports and encourages inclusive practices for the participation and inclusion of other underrepresented groups in Medical Physics is discussed.
