“…Expertise diversity was associated with increases in learning when teams had high levels of team identification but was associated with decreases in learning when team identification was low. Similarly, Somech, Desivilya, and Lidogoster (2009) found that higher levels of task interdependence were much more likely to lead to cooperation rather than conflict when teams had high levels of team identification. Many studies attribute this to the fact that the process of creating a shared identity can lead individuals to evaluate their interactions with team members and their overall team experience more positively (Hornsey & Hogg, 2000;Tajfel & Turner, 1979).…”

Although different types of teams increasingly employ embodied physical action (EPA) robots as a collaborative technology to accomplish their work, we know very little about what makes such teams successful. This paper has two objectives: the first is to examine whether a team's emotional attachment to its robots can lead to better team performance and viability; the second is to determine whether robot and team identification can promote a team's emotional attachment to its robots. To achieve these objectives, we conducted a between-subjects experiment with 57 teams working with robots. Teams performed better and were more viable when they were emotionally attached to their robots. Both robot and team identification increased a team's emotional attachment to its robots. Results of this study have implications for collaboration using EPA robots specifically and for collaboration technology in general.

“…Somech et al (2009) explored the dynamics of conflict management as a team phenomenon. The study examined how the input variable of task structure (task interdependence) is related to team conflict management style (cooperative versus competitive) and to team performance, and how team identity moderate these relationships.…”

This study on prospects for sustainability and viability of Nigerian manufacturing organizations through team work approach has the overall objective of ascertaining the extent to which teamwork approach to change management holds good prospects for sustenance and viability in Nigerian manufacturing organizations. The study adopted the survey research design, in which ten manufacturing companies in the South-Eastern Nigeria were studied. The population of the study was thirteen thousand, six hundred and twenty three (13,623), and the sample size was calculated to be six hundred and nineteen using the Taro Yamane's formula. The sampling selection was the stratified sampling method. A selfdeveloped structured questionnaire and oral interview guide were the research instruments used for the study. Data collected were presented descriptively using charts, simple frequency and percentage distribution, mean and standard deviation. The hypotheses were tested using the Z-test statistic. The major finding of the study were that teamwork approach to change management in Nigeria manufacturing organizations to a large extent holds good prospects for sustenance and viability (Zcal = 5.76 > Zcritical = 1.96, p < 0.05). The study concludes that teamwork has the prospect of making manufacturing organisations very effective, viable and sustainable. Specifically, it has the benefits of improved productivity and product quality, innovativeness and manpower development. Based on the findings, the study recommended among others that, for an improved product design with high quality that will appeal to customers' satisfaction any day, teamwork should be encouraged in Nigerian manufacturing organizations. It is also recommended that team incentives and rewards should be strictly adhered to in order to boost team performance and effectiveness. Team members should be carefully selected so that members with requisite skills are selected to work towards achieving the required objectives.Key words: Prospects for sustainability and viability of manufacturing organizations and Team work approach.

“…Through conflict management systems, the organization seeks to benefit from conflict by controlling and regulating the rules of confrontation. This set of systems explains the potential for accruing functional (positive) outcomes from conflict management (Somech et al 2009). Conflict processes describe the temporal sequence of behaviors, reflecting the mental activities of the conflicting parties, in other words the "style" individuals adopt toward each other when dealing with conflict, which is variable.…”

The management of conflicts that emerge during new service development (NSD) has escaped the attention of scholars. Yet differing conflict management styles (CMS) of team members and dynamics within the team create a complex managerial challenge. Additionally, the broader literature on conflict resolution shows contradictory findings preventing a clear roadmap for practitioner use when such conflicts emerge. This study draws on complexity theory and employs fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis, drawing on data from 543 members of 116 NSD projects, to unravel conflict resolution recipes. The results reveal, in detail, the variety of causal patterns that explain the linkages between individual CMS, the dynamics of the team and two critical conflict characteristics; conflict intensity and frequency. Implications for theory and practice are identified and discussed.
