A Taxonomy for Composing Effective Naval Teams

Abstract

Many researchers have speculated that personality affects team performance, but the empirical literature on this subject is inconclusive. Prior research on the topic has been hindered by conceptual problems; how to define personality, and how to classify team tasks. By linking a system for classifying team task environments with new data on personality structure, specific predictions are made regarding the relationship between personality and team effectiveness. Keywords: Individual differences; Personality; Individualized training, Naval personnel.
