Abstract

For achieving team performance, organizations should consider member's competency and their collective competency simultaneously. The principal aim of this research is to examine relationships among collective competency, group cohesiveness, team performance. 438 employees composing 52 teams participated in this empirical study. Results show that the mean of member competency was not associated with team performance. Results also show that there was no effect of group cohesiveness on team performance. However, consistent expectation, the interactive effect of collective competency and group cohesiveness on team performance was significant. Implications for future research are also discussed.

조직이 성과를 내기위해서는 구성원들의 개별적인 역량뿐만 아니라 이들이 집단화 되었을 때 나타나는 집단역량 또한 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 구성원의 집단역량과 응집성의 상호작용이 팀성과에 어떤 효과를 미치는지 알아보기 위해 국내 대기업 L사의 종업원 438명, 52개 팀을 대상으로 실증연구를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 집단응집성이 고려되지 않은 구성원들의 개별 역량의 합산 그 자체로는 경영성과에 중요한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 또한 역량이 고려되지 않은 집단응집성도 팀 성과에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 집단역량과 응집성의 상호작용 효과는 집단성과에 긍정적인 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 실제 인사평가 자료와 구성원을 대상으로 한 설문자료를 모두 사용함으로써 결과의 객관성과 변수들 간의 인과관계를 보다 명확하게 규명하고자 하였으며 연구의 한계점도 함께 제시하였다.
