Abstract
Teamworking is seen by many organizations as an effective strategy for organising work. Eighty-two percent of companies with 100 employees or more reported that they used teams (Gordon, 1992). Of the top flight Fortune 1000 companies, 28% used self-managing teams in 1987; this figure rose to 68% in 1993. What makes teamworking effective? How can people work most successfully in teams? In this chapter we examine research evidence which suggests ways to maximise team effectiveness.
