A Classification System for Navy Teams. Volume I. Technical Report.

Abstract

In order to provide researchers with a systeamatic method for selecting teams in Navy settings for research, it is necessary to have available a structure which shows similarities and differences between various teams. This research has developed a model of team member configuration and team interactive processes which can provide a basis for measuring the dimensions of tem performance. The primary objective of this research, then, was to design a taxonomy, or classification system, for Navy teams. The final report addresses the delineation of Navy teams, the identification of key team dimensions, the generation of appropriate measures of these dimensions, and the application of these measures to a sample of 240 surface Navy teams. The applicability of this study to a comprehensive research program concerning Navy team performance is discussed and specific directions for future endeavors are suggested. Volume I is concerned with the theoretical development of the taxonomic model and corresponding measures, while Volume II includes the catalog of surface Navy teams. (Author)
