Problem statement
This research theme is all about objectively measuring team (learning) behavior in organizations. To do so, video-filming methods and wearable sensor technology are used. This research is aimed at understanding how team dynamics affect team performance, using field data collected in several private and public organizations. Amongst other things, this research aims to uncover why some teams show high levels of learning and are very effective, while other, seemingly similar teams, are less effective. Current research questions include:
- How can we facilitate high levels of team learning and continuous improvement?
- Which team dynamics positively and negatively affect team effectiveness and learning?
Method
Data needs to be collected via quantitative and/or qualitative instruments. It is possible to use sensor technology / high-resolutation methods to study team dynamics.
