Tiivistelmä: | A new perspective on the management of outcomes and processes in a knowledge team's work is presented here. Knowledge teams are often faced by complex, open-ended tasks for which the a priori specification of goals and work processes is not possible. Such teams must define these work elements themselves, and emphasizing one over the other can lead a team to become either outcome- or process-focused, with implications for the level at which they identify their activities and the flexibility with which they conduct work. A survey study of student teams and a field study of organizational teams test the effects of outcome versus process focus on performance. |
