Abstract
Team performance and adaptability. A team is a set of two or more people who interact, dynamically, interdependently, and adaptively toward a common and valued goal, each having specific roles or functions to perform, and a limited life-span of membership (Salas, Dickinson, Converse, & Tannenbaum, 1992). We assume that all cognition originates within the individual. Therefore, to understand adaptive team processes it is important to understand the ways in which being a team member affects individual cognitive processes. We also assume that unique collective constructs and processes emerge at the team level from the dynamic interaction of team members that do not exist at the individual level of analysis, despite arising from individual cognition (Kozlowski & Bell, 2003; Kozlowski & Klein, 2000). Finally, we focus on interdependent tasks in which team performance is a weighted function of actions taken by team members to accomplish both individual and team goals (Shiflett, 1979; Steiner, 1972).
