Context: What factors determine whether teams are successful? Adequate Resources. Leadership and Structure. Climate of Trust. Performance Evaluations and Rewards. What factors determine whether teams are successful? There are four contextual factors that are most significantly to team performance. First, adequate resources are needed. All work teams rely on resources outside the group to sustain it. A scarcity of resources directly reduces the ability of the team to perform its job effectively. Second, leadership and structure must be present. Teams can\u2019t function if they can\u2019t agree on who is to do what and ensure all members share the workload. Leadership is especially important in multiteam systems, in which different teams coordinate their efforts to produce a desired outcome. Third, a climate of trust must be created. Members of effective teams trust each other and exhibit trust in their leaders. When members trust each other, they are more willing to take risks and are more willing to commit to their leader\u2019s goals and decisions. Finally, a performance evaluation and reward system must be in place. Individual performance evaluations and incentives may not be consistent with the development of high-performance teams. In addition to evaluating and rewarding employees for their individual contributions, management should modify the traditional, individually oriented evaluation and reward system to reflect team performance and focus on hybrid systems that recognize individual members for their exceptional contributions and reward the entire group for positive outcomes. Management should consider group-based appraisals, profit sharing, gainsharing, small-group incentives, and other system modifications that will reinforce team effort and commitment.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
