团队合作是主要开发项目的规范，行业正在不断努力提高团队效率。研究人员已经确定，具有高社会敏感度的团队在完成各种特定的协作任务时往往表现良好。社会敏感性是个人感知、理解和尊重他人的感受和观点的能力，它是可以可靠测量的。然而，最近的研究中的任务主要是短期的，只需要几个小时就可以完成，而主要的项目团队则在更长的时间内一起工作，完成复杂的任务。我们的主张是，社会敏感性可以是预测执行重大项目的团队绩效的关键组成部分。我们的目标是确定以前的研究，这是不是集中在学生或专业人士在科学或技术领域，是密切相关的人在计算学科。本文报道了一项实证研究的结果，调查是否社会敏感性与学生团队的大型学期项目的表现。总体结果支持我们的主张，团队的社会敏感性是高度相关的成功的团队绩效。因此，它建议计算机相关学科的教育工作者以及劳动力中的计算机专业人员应该认真对待社会敏感性的概念，将其视为生产力的辅助或障碍。
Team work is the norm in major development projects and industry is continually striving to improve team effectiveness. Researchers have established that teams with high levels of social sensitivity tend to perform well when completing a variety of specific collaborative tasks. Social sensitivity is the personal ability to perceive, understand, and respect the feelings and viewpoints of others, and it is reliably measurable. However, the tasks in recent research have been primarily short term, requiring only hours to finish, whereas major project teams work together for longer durations and on complex tasks. Our claim is that, social sensitivity can be a key component in predicting the performance of teams that carry out major projects. Our goal is to determine if previous research, which was not focused on students or professionals in scientific or technical fields, is germane for people in computing disciplines. This paper reports the results from an empirical study that investigates whether social sensitivity is correlated with the performance of student teams on large semester-long projects. The overall result supports our claim that the team social sensitivity is highly correlated with successful team performance. It suggests, therefore, that educators in computer-related disciplines, as well as computer professionals in the workforce, should take the concept of social sensitivity seriously as an aid or obstacle to productivity.
