The study examines the extent to which task and relations oriented leadership moderate the impact of task and relationship conflict on teamwork quality. In a sample of 37 teams, the study shows that relationship oriented leadership is beneficial for dealing with relationship conflict, but it does not have the expected positive interaction effect with task conflict. The main practical implicatio...

Effective teams are crucial for organisations, especially in environments that require teams to be constantly created and dismantled, such as software development, scientific experiments, crowd-sourcing, or the classroom. One of the key factors influencing team performance is the personality of team members. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm to partition a group of individuals into ge...

When faced with the problem of designing a complex system, a design team must make many decisions. Because many design problems are too difficult to solve all at once, the design problem is decomposed into more manageable subproblems. The way in which a problem is decomposed may affect the quality of the solution that can be constructed, especially when time and resources are limited. This pape...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills and teamwork of nurses in simulated cardiac arrests in the hospital. METHODS A descriptive study was conducted with 35 teams of 3 to 4 registered nurses each in a university hospital located in Seoul. A mannequin simulator was used to enact simulated cardiac arrest. Assessment included critical actions, ...

This paper presents the results of the WMT15 shared tasks, which included a standard news translation task, a metrics task, a tuning task, a task for run-time estimation of machine translation quality, and an automatic post-editing task. This year, 68 machine translation systems from 24 institutions were submitted to the ten translation directions in the standard translation task. An additional...

BACKGROUND Team-based care has consistently been associated with improved clinical outcomes. However, strategies for promoting and sustaining a team-based approach in family medicine practice are more elusive. METHODS We conducted a longitudinal time series cohort study of 30 primary care providers in seven practices to assess the sequential addition of three different chronic disease managem...

Columbia University and USC, as well as many other universities, have software engineering courses where students work in small teams to develop a product of moderate complexity. Typically such efforts are “closed source” where teams do not (or are forbidden) from sharing information and providing assistance to other teams. There are certainly many justifiable reasons for this such as grading u...

CONFLICT OF INTEREST NONE DECLARED In order to speed up and simplify the self assessment and external assessment process, provide better overview and access to Accreditation Standards for Family Medicine Teams and better assessment documents archiving, Agency for Healthcare Quality and Accreditation in Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (AKAZ) has developed self assessment and externals asses...

Emotional intelligence (EI) has received increasing attention in recent years as a driver of team effectiveness. However, research has yet to address EI in virtual teams (VT). The purpose of our study was to examine EI as a predictor of VT effectiveness. Further, we investigated quality of communication as a mediator of the EI-team viability relationship. We employed a work simulation using 228...
