When Does Teamwork Translate Into Improved Team Performance? A Resource Allocation Perspective

Abstract: Drawing on resource allocation theory, the authors examined boundary conditions for the positive effects of two aspects of teamwork (backing up behavior and performance monitoring) on team performance. Participants were 276 undergraduate business students who were organized into 69 teams and who worked on a computer simulation across multiple performance episodes. Approximately half the teams experienced a workload distribution problem. Results indicated that performance monitoring had positive effects on team… Show more

“…Interdependence has also been linked to team members compensating for one another in times of fatigue or absence (Porter, Gogus, & Yu, 2010). This mutual performance monitoring and backup behavior which stems from structural interdependence thus reduces the risk of errors and incidents occurring in the surrounding team environment (Helmreich, Foushee, Benson, & Russini, 1986;McIntyre & Salas, 1995).…”

“…A good use of helping behavior would be when individuals have a legitimate need for help, meaning that they require assistance from other team members because of factors beyond their control (Porter et al, ). Team members have a legitimate need for and receive greater amounts of helping behavior when they have a workload that is significantly heavier than that of other team members (Barnes et al, ; Porter, Gogus, & Yu, ). This is especially true if they do not have sufficient resources to fulfill their share of the team's workload (Porter et al, ).…”

“…Empreitada significa "interações de uma equipe com tarefas, ferramentas e máquinas e inclui esses esforços tradicionalmente associados ao desempenho da tarefa individual" (BOWERS et al, 1997, p. 90 apud PORTER;GOGUS;YU, 2010). Trabalho em equipe refere-se às "interações interpessoais entre os membros da equipe que são necessários para a troca de informações, o desenvolvimento e a manutenção de padrões de comunicação e a coordenação" (BOWERS et al, 1997, p. 90 apud PORTER; GOGUS; YU, 2010).…”
