At work, team and organisational success requires effective linking of tasks, skills and roles. In certain service sectors team, role and task cooperation and cohesion is vital and can be the difference between saving a losing a life.
But effective groups are not only about co-ordination of individual tasks with the work of others, they are also seriously affect how members of the team and organisation perceive the motivation, quality and competence of their co-workers and the organisational system in which they have to work – this we call collective capability.
Our work has shown that several individual and system factors are important for the development of effective teams. These factors influence individual perceptions of their group’s capability and it is this perception which influences how well groups work together to produce results. Collective capability is also a strong predictor of how resilient and persistent groups are in the face of difficulties and challenge.
