Abstract

This study investigated the effect of small-world structure in team processes on team performance. I discussed the theoretical relationship between small-world structure in team processes and team performance and analyzed the relationship using pass data of soccer teams. I constructed the 128 pass networks from the pass data of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and then measured the structural features indicating small-world structure of the networks. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were performed in order to examine the strength and direction of the relationship. According to the results, the clustering has an exponential relationship with team performance and the connectivity has a log-function relationship with team performance. Finally, I found the positive effect of small-world structure in team processes on team performance. Through theoretical discussion and empirical analysis, this study found that small-world structure in team processes increase team performance by facilitating task coordination and collaboration between team members.

본 연구의 목적은 팀 프로세스의 작은 세상 구조가 팀 성과에 미치는 영향을 탐색적으로 살펴보는 것이다. 관련 문헌을 고찰하여 팀 프로세스의 작은 세상 구조와 팀 성과 사이의 관계를 이론적으로 논의하였으며, 축구팀의 패스 데이터를 이용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 2014년 브라질 월드컵 경기의 패스 데이터를 수집하여 128개의 패스 네트워크를 구성하고 작은 세상을 나타내는 구조적 특성을 측정하였다. 이 과정에서 작은 세상의 정도를 측정하는 데 폭넓게 사용된 작은세상지수(small-world index)의 단점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 지수를 개발하였다. 그리고 작은 세상 구조와 성과 사이의 관계를 밝히기 위하여 상관분석과 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면, 팀 프로세스의 군집성은 팀 성과와 지수함수의 관계가 있고 팀 프로세스의 연결성은 팀 성과와 로그함수의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 팀 프로세스의 작은 세상 구조는 팀 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이론적 논의와 실증적 분석을 통해, 본 연구는 팀 프로세스의 작은 세상 구조가 팀원 사이의 업무 조정과 협업을 촉진하는데 효과적으로 작용하여 팀 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝혀내었다.
