Analysis of Team Performance in a Programmed Environment.
Abstract
A research project was undertaken to investigate performance effectiveness within the context of a laboratory environment in which both interpersonal and work behaviors can be continuously monitored and evaluated over extended time periods (e.g., days). The project did not attempt to simulate a specific operational environment. Rather, the laboratory facility was designed to address a broad range of performance problems from the perspective of a functional analysis of performance effectiveness. It is essentially a programmed environment with design features and measurement capabilities that permit the accurate assessment of relationships between antecedent conditions (e.g., incentive schedules, membership turnover, etc.), and performance effectiveness. This report summarizes fourteen residential studies devoted to analyses of incentive schedules and team turbulence on individual and small-group performance in a continuously programmed environment. During the contract period, a Team Multiple Task Performance Battery (TMTPB) was developed that required a coordinated response among members of three-person teams.
