Download or read book Relationships Among Team Trust Team Cohesion Team Satisfaction and Project Team Effectiveness as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more and more project teams are formed to achieve organizational objectives as organizations generally recognized the importance and benefits of project teams. There is a compelling reason to study what are the team outcome factors that can predict project team effectiveness as it is unclear whether these team outcome factors can yield the same result in project setting whereby there is resource and time constraint compare to normal work teams which are ongoing and operational in nature. This study has developed a research model underpinned on Cohen and Bailey (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze some team outcome factors in which result showed that team trust is directly predicting team cohesion, team satisfaction and project team effectiveness. However, team cohesion is not directly predicting project team effectiveness but it is directly predicting team satisfaction. In turn, team satisfaction is directly and positively predicting project team effectiveness. In other words, team cohesion indirectly predicting project team effectiveness via team satisfaction. Discussion, limitation and conclusion are also included in this article.

Book Relationships Among Team Trust  Team Cohesion  Team Satisfaction  Team Effectiveness and Project Performance as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia

Download or read book Relationships Among Team Trust Team Cohesion Team Satisfaction Team Effectiveness and Project Performance as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more and more project teams are formed to achieve organisational objectives as organisations generally recognized the importance and benefits of project teams. Rationales for this study include: (a) it is unclear from literature what kind of relationships among performance outcomes, team attitudinal outcomes and team behavioural outcomes in a project setting, (b) it is unclear from literature what are the team outcome factors that can predict project performance, and (c) what kind of result team outcome factors can produce in a project setting whereby there is resource and time constraints compare to normal work teams which are ongoing and operational in nature. This study developed a research model underpinned on Cohen & Bailey's (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze some team outcome factors. Result showed that when project team trust is high, this will improve project performance, team satisfaction, team effectiveness and team cohesion. At the same time, strong team cohesion also increases team satisfaction. However, strong team cohesion is not predicting project performance and team effectiveness positively. On the contrary, strong team cohesion is actually deteriorating the project performance. The intervention of team satisfaction can improve project performance and team effectiveness. Insignificant relationship between team effectiveness and project performance suggests that team effectiveness alone cannot predict project performance directly. Discussion, conclusion and limitations are also included in this article.

Book The Influence of Team Building   Participation on Team Trust  Team Cohesion and Project Performance Among Project Managers in Malaysia

Download or read book The Influence of Team Building Participation on Team Trust Team Cohesion and Project Performance Among Project Managers in Malaysia written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forming project teams to implement various services are prevalent in many organizations today as organizations believe a project team's performance is exceeding the total sum of individual outputs. According to Project Management Institute (PMI), one of the critical interpersonal skills expecting from a project manager is team building as this skill can motivate the team to achieve the project goals. However, there is limited study to evaluate how team building & participation can influence team trust, team cohesion and project performance among project managers in Malaysia. This study has developed a research model extended from the research work conducted by Cohen and Bailey (1997). Based on the data collected and analysis conducted, this study provides empirical evidence that project managers need to initiate more team building & participation sessions as these can increase the team trust and improve the project performance. Moreover, project managers also need to promote team trust as this can improve team cohesion. However, project managers also need to be mindful about the negative consequence when their project teams are too cohesive. At the same time project managers need to manoeuvre wisely the project team size and project duration so that these two factors are not negatively impacting the team cohesion and the project performance. The outcome of this study has shed some lights in explaining the relationships among attitudinal, behavioral and performance outcomes derived from Cohen and Bailey (1997). Moreover, this study also provided some guidance to project managers how to improve team trust and project performance through team building & participation. Discussion, conclusion, limitation and future research are also incorporated in this paper.

This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the impact of globalization and intensification of information technology, the ideas and practices of enterprise management are also changing rapidly nowadays. A practice that was incompletely unheard of yesterday may soon become a model for everyone to learn from tomorrow. The development of information technology has blurred the boundaries between work and non-work, and employees today have more options to work from home. At the same time, the family structure has also become more diversified, with different types of income structures, bringing many possibilities for work and family care models. In addition, the government’s social policies, such as school-to-work transitional regulations and the extended retirement age, suggest that people today may face a quite different labor market situation, compared to other generations. As individuals are facing longer and more complicated working life, it is very important to ensure their long-term employability by creating a healthy and successful career.

Book Relationships Between Leadership Roles and Project Team Effectiveness as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia

Download or read book Relationships Between Leadership Roles and Project Team Effectiveness as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more and more project teams are formed to achieve organizational objectives as organizations generally recognized the importance and benefits of project teams. However, in order to ensure project teams perform effectively, project managers need to learn and exhibit some of the leadership roles proposed by Quinn (1988) as these roles can impact the project team effectiveness. The current study developed a research model underpinned on Cohen and Bailey (1997) team effectiveness framework, Quinn (1988) leadership roles and Hoevemeyer (1993) five criteria of project team effectiveness. Based on a sample of 201 project managers, an empirical study had confirmed that a project manager's leadership roles like mentor, facilitator, innovator and coordinator are important in influencing four out of five criteria of project team effectiveness which include team mission, goal achievement, empowerment, open and honest communication.

Later, the study continued by following up with six selected participants to investigate those positive results in more detail via an online interview. In the first phase, only one team outcome factor i.e. team satisfaction was tested significantly influencing project performance. In the second phase, multiple case studies were conducted to investigate how and why team satisfaction influences project performance whereby four major themes emerged from the “how” question and one major theme emerged from the “why” question. The findings of both phases were discussed. Limitations and future recommendation were also provided.

Book The Impact of Leadership Roles on Team Satisfaction  Team Effectiveness and Project Performance   A Study of Project Managers in Malaysia

Download or read book The Impact of Leadership Roles on Team Satisfaction Team Effectiveness and Project Performance A Study of Project Managers in Malaysia written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many organizations today are deploying project teams to deliver various services or resolve different problems as they recognize the team performance is always exceeding the individual outputs combined. According to Project Management Institute (PMI), project manager's leadership skills are deemed important as they help achieving the project goals set by stakeholders. However, there is lack of study whether a project manager's leadership roles can improve team satisfaction, team effectiveness and project performance concurrently (Cohen & Bailey, 1997) or following a certain pattern of dependencies. This study developed a research model based on research works conducted by Cohen and Bailey (1997) and Yukl (2010) to empirically analyze how leadership roles are influencing team satisfaction, team effectiveness and project performance. Result showed that when a project manager is demonstrating his or her leadership roles more frequently, the project team becomes more effective. When the team effectiveness increases, this will lead to higher team satisfaction and improve project performance. Moreover, when the project team becomes more satisfied, it will also directly increase the project performance. However, execution of the leadership roles by project manager will not directly influence the team satisfaction and project performance. Discussion, conclusion, limitation and future research are also included in this article.

Book Factors Influencing Project Team Effectiveness as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia   A Pilot Study

Download or read book Factors Influencing Project Team Effectiveness as Perceived by Project Managers in Malaysia A Pilot Study written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As more project teams are formed to help Malaysian organizations in achieving their objectives that individual efforts cannot achieve, there is a compelling reason to understand the critical factors that can influence project team effectiveness, because the effectiveness outcome can yield benefits to organizations. This study developed a research model underpinned on Cohen & Bailey's (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze some critical factors that influence project team effectiveness. Results show that project manager's leadership roles are not directly influencing project team effectiveness, but they are directly influencing both team building & participation, and team shared mental models in which these two factors are directly and positively influencing project team effectiveness.

Book PROJECT MANAGER CENTRALITY IN EFFECTING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM PERFORMANCE

Download or read book PROJECT MANAGER CENTRALITY IN EFFECTING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM PERFORMANCE written by Raschada Nootjarat and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation proposed and tested a theoretical model that considered the project manager centrality as a moderator on the relationship between team cohesion and team performance. Self-administered questionnaires were sent to 150 members of 8 software development teams and yielded a response rate of 91% (136 members). It was found that the teams with a high centrality project manager in task-advice network had higher team cohesion-performance relationship than the teams with a low centrality project manager. The result also suggested that the managers whose teams with a high centrality members and cohesive subgroups had low team performance. However, the research did not find the effect of project manager centrality in friendship network on the relationship between team cohesion and team performance. The findings from this research would extend the knowledge on team's social network studies by suggesting that the high centrality project manager enhances the team cohesion-performance relationship. The high centrality project manager shares task-oriented leader characteristic that focuses in driving the team's works. Such characteristic reveals that the project manager can maximize the utility of team cohesion in achieving team performance.

Book The Influence of Leadership Roles and Team Building   Participation on Team Shared Mental Models

Download or read book The Influence of Leadership Roles and Team Building Participation on Team Shared Mental Models written by Han Ping Fung and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More and more project teams are formed to achieve organizational objectives as organizations generally recognize the importance and benefits of project teams. One of the outcomes working in a project team is the proliferation of Team Shared Mental Models (TSMM). It is critical to examine the antecedents of TSMM which is the aim of this study as TSMM by itself can contribute to project team learning and others. However, it is unclear from literature whether both leadership roles and team building & participation can influence TSMM concurrently especially in a project setting study whereby there is resource and time constraint compare to normal work teams which are ongoing and operational in nature. This study has developed a research model underpinned on Cohen and Bailey's (1997) Team Effectiveness Framework to empirically analyze how leadership roles and team building & participation can predict TSMM. Based on 201 random sample responses from project managers in Malaysia, findings suggest that leadership roles can influence TSMM indirectly via team building & participation. Knowledge contribution of this study is that project managers should invest extra efforts in team building & participation as it is the main contributor to TSMM.

Book The Influence of Team Cohesion and Contextual Performance on Project Team Performance Over Time

Download or read book The Influence of Team Cohesion and Contextual Performance on Project Team Performance Over Time written by Melissa Vazquez and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theory and empirical research suggest that team cohesion and contextual performance relate to team performance. However, while general support exists for a team cohesion and contextual performance relationship, less is known about the how the relationship evolves over time. This study aimed to examine the extent to which team cohesion and contextual performance reciprocally relate over time. Data were collected from 245 individuals comprising 40 student project teams engaged in the Capsim business simulation over a 10-week quarter. Results supported hypothesis 1; based on a cross-lagged path model, a stronger relationship exists between contextual performance at time point 1 and cohesion at time point 2 than between cohesion at time point 1 and contextual performance at time point 2. However, hypothesis 2, which predicted the same relationship for time points 2 and 3, was not supported. Additional results reveal significant effects for control variables.

Book Team Learning in Projects

Download or read book Team Learning in Projects written by Chantal Savelsbergh, BSc, MSc, C.Eng and published by Project Management Institute. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can today’s project be done well? How can tomorrow’s project be done even better? These two classic questions are the foundation for Team Learning in Projects: Theory and Practice, a report of research conducted by Chantal Savelsbergh and Peter Storm. This research follows a previous effort that revealed a strong and positive relationship between team performance and team learning. In this report the researchers drop the second shoe by exploring how to increase team learning behaviors. Their investigation is based on the underlying principle that projects have two goals: to perform and to learn. Learning supports performance of current and future projects; performance stimulates the desire to improve and drives learning.
