“…One explanation is because collaborative work yields benefit in text production (Ardiasih et al, 2019;Chen, 2019;McDonough & De Vleeschauwer, 2019). Also, active collaboration has shown to bring a cognitive advantage and development (Thiemann et al, 2019).…”

“…Online collaborative writing (OCW) tools such as Wikis and Google Docs (GD) have been progressively developed and currently, these tools are used extensively in education (Alghasab et al, 2019;Ardiasih et al, 2019;Krishnan et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2018;Nykopp et al, 2019). These invented computer-mediated forms of communication permit people of all ages to convey messages freely and exchange information in numerous areas (Altameemy et al, 2020;Thiemann et al, 2019;Williams & Beam, 2019). Moreover, these OCW tools empower writers in all disciplines to write collaboratively where they can share, edit, or evaluate each other's writing pieces more conveniently (Khan & Hameed, 2021;Li & Storch, 2017).…”

This study investigated the effects of online collaborative writing and writing contributions in Google Docs of 35 Asian EFL university learners in a composition course. Data were collected from students’ pre- and post-test writing, two extended online collaborative tasks: writing descriptive and argumentative essays, and student reflections. Students’ writing performances were assessed using Jacobs et al.’s (1981) composition analytic scoring rubric. Paired sample t-test analysis showed that academic writing performance significantly increased after participating in two extended collaborative writing tasks. Learners developed more extended written texts and texts were more accurate in the post-test writing. Furthermore, Pearson correlation coefficient (Pearson’s r) analysis showed that learners’ text contributions, their use of writing change functions and language functions during the collaborative process was positively correlated with their post-writing performance. This study supports the notion of writing as an exploratory and recursive process, but not linear.

“…To represent the whole team's preferences in a negotiation, the representative must enter the negotiation with an already clear concept of the team members' joint priorities. However, if the preferences of the team members are not discussed and aligned before the negotiation in order to agree on joint team priorities, the representative is not able to judge appropriately which negotiation issues serve the team's preferences best in the negotiation (Thiemann, Hesse, & Kozlov, 2019;Thiemann & Engelmann, 2015). The excellent news for negotiating teams is that advanced technologies offer increasing possibilities to process information and make decisions for humans, such as software agents that can thoroughly conduct a client's negotiation.…”

“…Nevertheless, to represent their entire teams in negotiation, team members are expected to shift from their preferences when determining the negotiation priorities. In a collaborative teams' negotiation preparation, team members play an active part in preventing team members from leaning in favor of their preferences to decide which priorities to pursue (Thiemann et al, 2019). A good understanding of the choices of all teams and high similarity of priorities is a prerequisite for successfully negotiating with the opposing party (Van Kleef & De Dreu, 2010) as it enables the representatives to make mutually beneficial trade-offs with the other party in favor of the team which is an essential indicator for the team negotiation performance.…”

“…Further, the experience of resolving conflicts about preference divergences in a collaborative setting also contributes to a better mutual perception within the teams (Thiemann et al, 2019). Even with advanced technologies offering increasing possibilities to process information and make decisions for humans, active collaboration is critical during team decision processes; for example, the alignment of team members' preferences during the negotiation preparation phase can significantly influence the outcomes.…”

Influence of Team Negotiations on Collaborative Value within Ashoka Fellows' Organizations in Africa

Purpose: The study sought to determine the influence of team negotiations on collaborative value within Ashoka Fellows' Organizations in Africa Methodology: The study applied pragmatism philosophy to offer several ways to bridge dichotomies in mixed methods approaches to social science. Explanatory sequential mixed-method research design consisting of two distinct phases, namely quantitative and qualitative, was adopted. Both qualitative and quantitative study methods were adopted. In the quantitative study, the target population constituted all the 154 Ashoka Fellows' Organizations working in 19 countries in Africa. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered online to the founders (Ashoka Fellows) or the Ashoka Fellows' Organizations' CEOs. One hundred responded by filling out the questionnaire, which translated to a 64.9% response rate. Additionally, qualitative data applied purposive sampling and selected six Ashoka regional team leaders in Africa for in-depth interviews. They all were available for the interviews translating to a 100% response rate. Data analysis techniques combined descriptive and inferential statistics. Statistical Package for Social Sciences and SmartPLS 3 software were used to analyze the collected data. Findings: The study results revealed that team negotiation significantly influences collaborative value within Ashoka Fellows’ Organizations in Africa. Team Negotiations have a significant influence on collaborative value with an R2 = 0.214, chi-square X2 (10, N=100) = 72.319, p<.05, SRMR=0.090, Rms-theta=0.234, and NFI=0.773. The null hypothesis was rejected. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that negotiating teams should ensure that they know as much as possible about the other side of the negotiation. The teams' perception is vital in the negotiating team's preparedness as they should be aware of what is necessary at every stage of the negotiating process. When negotiating, the focus should be on looking for alternative ways of dealing with the problem before finding a solution that satisfies all members. The evaluation of options during team negotiations should be objective. At large, the negotiating teams should ensure that all members feel comfortable with the solution to the problem raised before making the steps to implement the solution.

Integrated analysis of employee cooperation and conflict behaviors in the context of digital technology

Nowadays, the introduction of digital technology improves the condition of the workplace and employees’ productivity, but the unstable behavior of employees is still typical in Internet enterprises in China. Sometimes, employees frequently show their behavior reversals between cooperation and conflict. An integrated analysis method with three steps is performed to explore its reason. First, an evolutionary game model is employed to examine the strategies of individual employee’s behavior selection between cooperation and conflict. Second, the cellular automata are developed to simulate the evolution of employee group behavior selection over time. The frequent behavior turnovers between cooperation and conflict are illustrated. Third, catastrophe theory and method are used to identify the hidden cusp catastrophe patterns under the evolution of group behavior selection. Research results reveal that individual employee selects cooperation if the penalty exceeds half the cost. Simulation results show intense and sudden changes in employee group behavior selection, in which cusp catastrophe patterns exist. The cusp catastrophe model can intuitively interpret the mechanism by which factors, such as average perceived payoff and proportion of cooperation employees, influence the behavior state of the employee group. The mechanism of catastrophe in frequent behavior turnover is explored. This methodology, which is based on the theoretical framework of social exchange theory, integrates evolutionary game theory, simulation, and catastrophe theory to identify the catastrophe mechanism in behavior turnover and make theoretical and practical contributions to behavior selection research.
