Family Firms strategies in times of crisis: a study of the influence of socio-emotional wealth and Top Management Team characteristics

2023

Las empresas familiares representan la mayor parte de la economía mundial, contribuyen a la generación de cerca del 70% del PIB a nivel global, crean el 60% de los puestos de trabajo en el mundo y es el tipo de empresa predominante en la mayoría de las economías desarrolladas, llegando a representar al 65% de las empresas existentes en el mundo. Concretamente en España representan el 89% del total de empresas existentes, proveen el 67% de los puestos de trabajo del país y contribuyen a la generación del 57% del PIB nacional. A pesar de la importancia de las empresas familiares en la economía mundial y de su importante papel en la sociedad, menos del 30% de las empresas alcanzan la segunda g…

Process and technology challenges in swift-starting virtual teams

2007

Originally published in the journal Information & Management : http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03787206 Virtual teams often face tight schedules and a need to start quickly and perform instantly. The goal of our study was to enhance understanding of the challenges faced by such teams. We used time–interaction–performance theory as the framework for following the processes and functions within virtual teams working on a systems development task. Our study provided a detailed examination of the group process, applied to virtual teams working under time pressure. The challenges faced by virtual teams in such settings showed that teams must work to enhance their effectiveness in mu…

Team climate, climate strength and team performance: a longitudinal study

2009

We tested the hypothesis that the relationship between team climate and team performance is moderated by climate strength. The study sample was composed of 155 bank branches, and a two-wave panel design was implemented. We measured four team climate facets (support, innovation, goal achievement and enabling formalization). We obtained two subjective indicators of team performance (ratings provided by team members and by team managers) and a financial indicator of team performance. Seven out of the 12 interaction effects tested were statistically significant and showed the expected sign. When financial team performance was the criterion, only the interaction term was significant. This sugges…

Team Feedback Intervention and Team Learning in Virtual Teams: A Moderated Mediation Model of Team Cohesion and Personality

2018

Part 2: ICT4D and Improvement of ICTs; International audience; Scholars and practitioners agree that virtual teams (VTs) have become commonplace in today’s digital workplace. Relevant literature argues that learning constitutes a significant contributor to team member satisfaction and performance, and that, at least in face-to-face teams, team cohesion fosters team learning. Given the additional challenges VTs face, e.g. geographical dispersion, which are likely to have a negative influence on cohesion, in this paper we shed light on the relationship between team cohesion and team learning. We adopted a quantitative approach and studied 54 VTs in our quest to understand the role of feedback…

Development and Initial Validation of the Humor Climate in Sport Scale

2021

In sport teams, humor is an essential element that influences communication processes, and plays an important role in group dynamics. Despite this, no current instrument is presented in the literature to measure humor climate in sport teams. Therefore, the current study presents the development and initial validation of the Humor Climate in Sport Scale (HCSS). The aim was to assess content, structural and concurrent validity of the developed instrument, and to examine differential item functioning (DIF) as a function of sex. Three different phases were completed in this study. The first phase involved focus groups (n= 5) that explored humor as communication in a team sport context. In phase…

Emotion–performance relationships in team sport: The role of personal and social identities

2018

IF 2018: 1.25 (Q2); International audience; In the field of emotion–performance relationship in achievement situations, the social dimensions of emotions have been understudied. Thus, recent advances highlighted the need to explore identity processes to know whether group belonging may influence individuals’ emotions and performance when they are involved in a task-group. The current study introduced an innovative approach to continuously capture the variability of emotions (pleasant and unpleasant), identity levels (personal and social) and performances (individual and collective) experienced during volleyball games. Six elite players (M = 20.14 years; SD = 1.25) volunteered to participate…

Facilitating organisational learning through teamwork-based knowledge management: evidence from Spain

2015

[EN] In the context of organisational learning optimisation through knowledge management policies, it is essential to pay careful attention to teamwork design and dynamics. Having these ideas in mind, the aim of our paper is to empirically study whether a number of knowledge management policies related to team design and dynamics facilitate organisational learning processes across the different ontological levels (individual, group, and organisational-institutional). Hence, we propose a model linking teamwork-design based on knowledge management policies (including the sub-dimensions of team composition, team bonding, and team bridging) and organisational learning. We test this model in a s…

Investigating face-to-face and virtual teamwork over time: When does early task conflict trigger relationship conflict?

2012

North Carolina State UniversityPast research has indicated that early task consict can trigger subsequent relationshipconsict during teamwork. The current study examines conditions that may exacerbateor attenuate this relationship. SpeciÞcally, this study examines the moderating role ofprocess consict and communication medium on the link between task consict andrelationship consict over time. A longitudinal laboratory experiment was carried outcomparing 22 face-to-face (FTF) groups, 22 videoconference (VC) groups, and 22synchronous computer mediated (i.e., OchatO) communication (CMC) groups workingon a complex team task over a period of 1 month. Results highlight the robust insuenceof early…

Success Factors in Funding Acquisition for Research Projects through Competitive Calls: A study of R&D Public Centres

2017

Durante los últimos años, la capacidad de generación de recursos financieros derivados de la obtención de fondos competitivos ha sido una preocupación creciente para las organizaciones públicas de investigación y desarrollo (I+D), al garantizar su supervivencia y el futuro de los actuales sistemas de bienestar público implementados en la mayoría de los países europeos (Bazeley, 1998; Lee y Om, 1996; Muñoz, 2007; Santamaría, Brage-Gil, y Modrego, 2010). La literatura actual describe ampliamente las características y el impacto de los principales programas de financiación competitiva internacional (Galsworthy y McKee, 2013; Grimpe, 2012; Laudel, 2005, 2006), la magnitud de la eficacia de los …
