| Abstract: | The most popular model of team development in Dutch socio-technical literature is a linear approach, which states that teams develop in four successive phases. A method for defining the particular phase a team is in was developed years ago and was recently used in a large-scale survey at Volvo's cab manufacturing plant in Umeå (northern Sweden). During a seven-month period, 37 semi-autonomous teams were studied at this plant. The development of the teams is examined here and the effects of team development on overall team performance are addressed. |
