Background: Team-based learning is a structured type of cooperative learning that is becoming increasingly more popular in nursing education. This study compares levels of nursing students’ perception of the psycho-social climate of the classroom between conventional lecture group and team-based learning group.   Methods: In a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design ...

The Influence of Interpersonal Flexibility on Work Team Conflict over Time. (August 2004) Frank Godard Baugh, B.S., William Carey College; M.S., University of Southern Mississippi Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Daniel Brossart Today a majority of business organizations utilize work team designs in an effort to gain a competitive edge. A multitude of factors exert varying levels of influence o...

The increased use of teams in organizations, coupled with an increasingly diverse workforce, strongly suggests that we should learn more about how team diversity affects functioning and performance. The purpose of this study was to explore the differential impact of surface-level diversity (gender, ethnicity), deep-level diversity (time urgency, extraversion), and two moderating variables (team...

This paper models the trade-off between production and appropriation in the presence of simultaneous interand intra-group conflicts. The model exhibits a ‘group cohesion effect ’: if the contest between the groups becomes more decisive, or contractual incompleteness between groups becomes more serious, the players devote fewer resources to the intra-group conflict. Moreover, there is also a ‘re...

Team cohesiveness plays a crucial role in effective teamwork, innovation, and improved performance, as such, its development among team members is an essential part of management. However, it may be disregarded by leaders with high bottom-line mentality (BLM; single-minded focus on the bottom line at expense other values or priorities). These show little interest priorities, such ethical, socia...

Although potentially beneficial, task conflict may threaten teams because it often leads to relationship conflict. Prior research has identified a set of interpersonal factors (e.g., team communication, team trust) that help attenuate this association. The purpose of this article is to provide an alternative perspective that focuses on the moderating role of performancerelated factors (i.e., pe...

Recent advances in networking environments and telecommunications have led to the proliferation of teams that do not work face-to-face but interact over a computermediated communications network. Although some have asserted that virtual teams transcend boundaries of time or distance, others have claimed that working remotely in a mediated team environment differs in significant ways from workin...

This research examines results from a dual case study in defining a model for high productivity and performance of cross-functional development teams in an aerospace engineering community. More specifically it explores cohesiveness and team dynamics over an approximate 4-year period in a project team that recently designed and built a highly innovative propulsion system. The ‘successful’ team d...
