Doctoral Dissertation Research in Sociology

这是一个博士论文研究，将调查 组织间项目团队的组建和管理 在高能物理学中。 向团队科学的转变始于高中 第二次世界大战后的物理学 在20世纪50年代和60年代， 实验由一个小型的单机构小组进行， 物理学家 今天，180-200名科学家组成的小组在几个 机构是共同的。 该研究将审查，除其他外， 研究团队如何选择目标和成员， 最大限度地提高团队绩效，以及团队的角色 领导者是在创造目标，团队， 会员和赞助组织。 这项研究将 利用对高能物理学家的采访， 参与特定实验，以及数据库中的数据 从1974年到2000年进行的所有高能物理实验 现在将用于估计团队绩效的差异。 这项研究将有助于越来越多的文献 协作和促进成功的进程 科学家之间的合作。

This is a doctoral dissertation study which will investigate the formation and management of interorganizational project teams in high energy physics. The shift to team science began in high energy physics after World War II. In the 1950's and 1960's, experiments were performed by small single-institution group of physicists. Today groups of 180-200 scientists at several institutions are common. The study will examine, among other things, how a research team selects goal and membership to maximize the team performance, and what the role of the team leaders is in creating the optimum fit between goal, team membership, and the sponsoring organization. The study will utilize interviews with high energy physicists about their participation in a particular experiment, and data from a database on all high energy physics experiments conducted from 1974 to the present will be used to estimate variance in team performance. This study will contribute to a growing literature on collaboration and the processes facilitating successful collaboration between scientists.
