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.
