Two-Dimensional Structure of Team Process Improvement: Team Reflection and Team Adaptation

Abstract

Work group literature has recently focused on team process improvement, which refers to a learning process within the team, including the review of recent work methods and objectives and the development of alternative working strategies. Until now, however, no systematic empirical effort has been undertaken to empirically explore the dimensionality of team process improvement, although a dual focus, namely, team reflection and team adaptation, is theoretically accepted. The authors thus examined a two-dimensional structure of team process improvement by distinguishing team reflection and team adaptation in two studies using an experimental and a field design. Confirmatory factor analyses results of both studies provide evidence for the hypothesized two-dimensional structure of team process improvement. Additionally, the field study of organizational teams show that team reflection and team adaptation predict team performance to some extent.
