Resumo(s)
This article describes a study of the relationships between team inputs (task type
and team size) and team processes in 87 cross industry Portuguese teams, some of
which had high and some low requirements to innovate. Team processes were measured using the Team Climate Inventory (TCI), which focuses on clarity of
and commitment to team objectives, levels of participation, support for innovation, and quality emphases. Three hypotheses were tested. The first proposed that
teams carrying out tasks with a high innovation requirement would have high
scores on a measure of team processes. This was supported insofar as such teams
reported higher levels of participation and support for innovation. The second
hypothesis proposed that large teams would have poorer team processes. This hypothesis was confirmed. The third hypothesis concerned the interaction between
size and innovation. The results suggested that large teams operating under a
relatively high pressure to innovate have poorer team processes than large teams
that do not have a high requirement to innovate.
