Putting the Right People in the Right Place: Development of a Team Task Analysis Protocol for Assignment Purposes in the U.S. Army

Abstract

The gold standard for conducting team task analysis has been outlined in the literature (Burke, 2004; Burke and Howell, 2018), yet only a few published papers provide a report of a successful execution, perhaps because of the time and effort required. The goal of this research is to adapt the team task analysis protocol for team assignment in the U.S. Army, with a focus on predicting the teamwork necessary for successfully executing collective tasks. Specifically, teamwork is proposed to be the mediating factor between individual- and team-level KSAs and team effectiveness outcomes. We aim to seek feedback about the protocol and methodology used to gather data for this project in addition to discussion about how to establish links between individual KSAs, team profiles, and teamwork, extending beyond traditional compositional and compilational models.
