Management performance of telework teams based on experimental methods
2009

The research will use experimental methods for exploring the novel topic of management performance of telework teams. The experimental design, implementation and result analysis will be done by using a computer experimental system we developed.

Narrative Transformations and Externalizing Talk in a Reflecting Team Consultation
2006
This article reports on a therapeutic consultation session following the reflecting team working format. A stanza form of transcription of the original video recording is used to present the narrative constructions of the consultation process, and the transformation of these constructions. This method of transcription and analysis seeks to convey to the reader the dynamics of tellings and reformulations of the client's problem story as they emerged in the conversational exchanges between consultant and client, and between the members of the reflecting team. The creation and use of an externalized fictive agent in the conversation is shown. This externalizing talk served to afford new agent…

The task performed by the groups was an intellective one. A 2 × 3 factorial design with three media (face‐to‐face, video‐conference, and e‐mail) and time pressure (with and without time pressure) was used to determine the direct and combined effects of these two variables on group members' satisfaction with the process and with the results, and on members' commitment with the decision.FindingsResults s…
Facilitating Team Reflexivity About Communication
2016
This article explores how team facilitation can promote team reflexivity about communication. We present a case study that was conducted within a participatory action research framework with a Top Management Team for an international manufacturing company. We identify and analyze five key interventions that promoted team reflexivity. These interventions included activities such as (a) framing the facilitation, (b) inquiring into the key issues, (c) role modeling feedback, (d) positive storytelling, and (e) reflecting on concrete communication actions. The findings suggest that reflexivity can be enhanced through positive storytelling and emotion, framing and contextual sensitivity, and add…

La créativité des équipes de travail : comprendre l’ambivalence de la diversité
2020
This thesis focused on the role of diversity on the functioning of work teams. He responded to the ambiguity of the literature’s findings and to the call of many authors to pay more attention to the processes underlying the impact of diversity. On the one hand, this work has adopted a minimalist approach and proposed the virtual accomplice paradigm to isolate the sociocategorical part of diversity. On the other hand, he used creativity, rather than performance, as a tool of understanding, because it involves specific sociopsychological issues. By inducing a simple perception of cultural diversity, we observed a decrease (especially qualitative) in divergent thinking among participants who h…
Flow’n kokeminen työtiimissä
2013
Tausta. Flow on lyhytaikainen huippukokemus, jossa ihminen on vahvasti keskittynyt työhönsä, nauttii siitä ja on siihen työn itsensä vuoksi motivoitunut. Flow’ta on tutkittu yksilön työssä, mutta vielä ei tarkemmin tiedetä, millaisia flow-tiloja voi syntyä tiimityössä. Tarkoitus. Tarkoituksena on tutkia, millaista flow on työtiimeissä. Millaisena flow koetaan, mitkä seikat ovat siihen yhteydessä ja mitä seurauksia siitä on? Menetelmä. Aineisto koostuu työntekijöiden flow-aiheisista teemakirjoituksista, jotka analysoitiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tulokset. Tiimityön flow voi olla jäsenten omaa tai koko tiimin yhteistä. Flow’ta voidaan kokea miellyttävässä ja epämiellyttävässä ti…
