12 important questions on Cronin et al. (2011); Kozlowski et al. (2013); Marks et al. (2001)

Define the phenomenon Team Dynamics, and which types of construct do we have

A phenomenon is emergent when it orginates in the cognition, affect, behavior, or other characteristics of individuals, is amplified by their interactions, and manifests as a higher-level, collective phenomenon ( in a team).
-Emergent construct
-Cumultatieve constructs
-Contextual constructs

Explain the phenomenon of Emergent construct

-takes time, changes over time
-synthesis process of emergence, the group-level needs interaction needed
-duality of process and structure: ' begins in form of an emerged phenomenon then shapes in subsequent processess'

Explain the phenomenon of Cumulative construct

-a higher-level phenomenon is based in stable individual properties.
-multi level, need properties of individuals to exist ( gender)
-no interaction or time needed->no emergence proces
-e.g. Functional role heterogeneity

Explain what is Contextual constructs

Team properties that are imposed on the team by external forces:
-specific task interdependence structure
-level of resources
-environment conditions surrounding the team , high degree of intergroup competition.

>no synthesis function: shared experience that persist independently of dynamics within the team
>not multilevel, group level: e.g. a reward system. people can come and go and the system stays the same

Name a problem within the research for interaction analysis

researchers search for quantitive data instead of qualititative data, e.g. you should observe behavioral processes and interaction instead of questionnaires.

Explain bottom-up, top-down regarding the dynamic ofemergent

(a) top-down, contextual effects whereby higher level phenomena constrain, shape and influence different lower level phenomena and (b) bottom-up emergence whereby dynamic interaction processes among lower level entities yield phenomena that manifest at higher, collective levels.

What kind of system did Marks et al. (2001) introduces about the taxonomy of team processes?

a system which fit the definition of team processes.
the subdimensions are:
-transition phase (evaluating,planning)
-action phase
-interpersonal processes ( occurs in both stages)

Conflict management
Motivating and confidence building
Affect management

Explain the differences between local dynamics, global dynamics, contextual dynamics.

Local: activities in groups regarding using tools and resources, condition for group-,global dynamics.
Global: norms and status
Contextual dynamics: contextual values plays a role in the dynamics

How is it possible to change Cumulative change in a group?

to change the members of the group, becaus things like age, gender or functional role are all pre-existing features. To change that it changes the shared things among the members

What the hack is Recursion? What means self-reinforcing feedback loop, and self-limitating feedback loop?

It is the possibility for causal chains to feedback upon themselves.
self-reinforcing feedback loop is like chickens and eggs. more chicken gives more eggs.
self-limitating feedback loop i like chicken and road-crossing. More chicken gives more road-crossing, which result in less chickens)

Interaction analyse: how to

1. Define variables
2. Select unitizing rule (e.g., turns of talk, utterances, or specific
time segments within a meeting)
3. Use existing or develop new coding scheme
4. Gather behavioral data
5. Train coders, code data & establish inter-rater-reliability
6. Run sequential or pattern analysis to detect interaction
patterns and/or
7. Reduce your data to summarize or simplify
(e.g., overall frequency of a specific behavior in a team
meeting).

According to Nale, Meetings matter, why do they matter?

functional interaction leads to more satisfied meetings
better meeting lead to increase in team productivity
constructive meeting interaction process lead to success ( after 2.5 year)
dysfunctional communication lead to negative outcomes.
bad is stronger than good.
