Cognitive Ability and Personality Can Predict Team Productivity but Not Team Synergy

چکیده
Despite a burgeoning literature on teams and teamwork, scholars have not yet thoroughly examined the selection of individuals for forming teams. (McClough & Rogelberg, 2003). To form an effective team, we believe it is critical to identify individuals’ aptitudes that improve team performance, and determine how to apply those aptitudes to select team members. In this study, we focused on general cognitive ability, the specific cognitive ability of teamwork aptitude, and personality as predictors of team effectiveness as represented by unit (team) level productivity and satisfaction with the team.

Because the effort of each player is not observable to any other player, the performance of the team is negatively affected by a free-rider problem and by a lack of effort coordination across players. In this context, a player who mistakenly overestimates her own marginal produ...
