CAREER: Measurement and Exploration of Team Shared Mental Models

摘要PI建议研究团队的共享心理模型，即随着团队成员的个体心理模型通过交互收敛而随时间演变的知识结构。共享的知识结构被视为项目团队有效绩效的关键。这项仔细的阶段性研究建议，首先，建立一套潜在的可测量的结构来指导以后的阶段。接下来，在第二阶段，通过访谈和观察来探索初步概念化，以验证概念化并调查趋同的概念。第三阶段将通过对从行业合作伙伴团队收集的用于比较的访谈、档案和问卷数据(250名受试者)进行三角测量，开发和验证共享心理模型测量工具。第四阶段将在前期工作的基础上提出进一步的研究假设，构建调查问卷并进行预测检验。第五阶段将扩大问卷数据收集并分析结果(100个项目小组)。在第六阶段，将根据研究结果创建诊断工具和相关干预技术。在最后阶段，将通过研讨会、向参加组织作报告、学术出版物和从业人员出版物以及专业会议报告来传播成果。

ABSTRACTPI proposes to study the Shared Mental Models of Teams, the knowledge structures that evolve over time as team members' individual mental models converge through interaction. Shared knowledge structures are seen as crucial for effective performance of project teams. This carefully phased study proposes, first, to establish a potential set of measurable constructs to guide later phases. Next, in Phase 2, to explore the preliminary conceptualization through interviews and observations to validate the conceptualization and investigate the notion of convergence. Phase 3 will develop and validate a shared mental model measurement instrument through a triangulation process of interview, archival and questionnaire data collected from industry partners' teams for comparison (250 subjects). Phase 4 will formulate further research hypotheses based on the earlier work, construct a questionnaire and pre-test it. Phase 5 will expand the questionnaire data collection and analyze the results (100 project teams). A diagnostic tool and associated intervention techniques will be created in Phase 6 based on research results. In the final phase, dissemination of results will take place through a seminar; presentations to participating organizations; scholarly and practitioner publications, and professional conference presentations.
