“…Combining them could prove fruitful for HRD. In the work context, team diversity has been shown to be an important predictor for team performance (e.g., S. T. Bell, Brown, Colaneri, & Outland, ; S. T. Bell, Villado, Lukasik, Belau, & Briggs, ; Horwitz & Horwitz, ). In the training context, there are only a few studies that examine the role of training group diversity in training outcomes with conflicting results and limited methodological rigor.…”

Effective training transfer continues to be a challenge in human resource development (HRD). In this study, we examined the diversity of the training group as a predictor for training transfer because it has been shown to predict team performance in the work context. We compared K E Y W O R D S diversity faultlines, human resource development, perceived subgroups, psychological safety, team learning behavior, training transfer

Rapid and unpredictable technology advancements cause a rise in demand for software products that can be delivered faster, adapt to volatile changes and save cost. Over the years, Agile Software Development (ASD) becomes more suitable as the software process that can cater to those demands while still maintaining the quality desired. With this Agile nature, it is apparent that the team that develops the software product need to have unique features as well. The team should also be formed correctly to gain effectiveness, strong performance and ultimately project success. Ineffective teams can be caused by, among others, conflict, inadequate skillset, unbalanced role assignment, lack of teamwork and non-competent team members. However, by far, the characteristics that need to be considered in forming effective teams are yet to be formalized. Thus, this study aims to identify the necessary characteristics in composing a competent team that is well balanced and can create coherent teamwork. The study involves a qualitative literature review which includes past studies about team formation specifically in the software development domain. The data were collected from online journal databases and analyzed using content analysis. From the analysis, six characteristics together with their attributes were identified as vital in team formation. Another two characteristics were also identified as influencing the sixteam formation characteristics. These findings will need further empirical rigor before they can become a complete Agile Software Development team composition model. This model is believed to assist Agile practitioners in forming effective teams for their development projects.

“…According to Salas, Sims & Burke (2005), the core composed of teamwork can be classified into five, namely: team leadership, adaptability, team orientation, mutual performance monitoring, and back up behavior. Teams are means of organizing work so that individuals can accomplish more than they can on their own (Bell, Brown, Colaneri & Outland, 2018). Teamwork involves team member's interdependent behaviors that translate inputs into outputs called team processes (Bell et al, 2018).…”

Teamwork involves team member's interdependent behaviors that translate inputs into outputs called team processes (Bell et al, 2018). Teamwork orientation, which is an extent to which members have a positive attitude towards working as a team (Fransen, Kirschener & Erkkens, 2011), is an essential aspect of teamwork (Salas et al, 2005).…”
