Effective Team Performance in Military Environments

Abstract

The Human Factors Division of the Naval Training Systems Center is interested in identifying psychological favors that influence team performance in the chemical biological Radiological Defense environment. The adoption of a system to classify tasks that may be studied and the development and pilot testing of a team task that can be used to evaluate group performance are prerequisites to the identification of such factors. This Technical Report (a) evaluates a new system of task classification that combines Herold's task demands and Holland's taxonomy of work environments: and, (b) describes the development and evaluation of a team task that meets the following criteria: (1) It allows variation in group performance, (2) It requires the coordination of the efforts of the individuals working in the group performance, (3) It is susceptible to disruption by stress; (4) It is classifiable by an acceptable task taxonomy; and (5) It is familiar and interesting.
