Project Team Selection Keep teams small and manageable Get the right personalities Embrace diversity Reuse successful teams Plan ahead to get the right people Use your network © 2008 Prentice Hall

Motivation An individual’s intensity, direction, and persistence toward attaining a goal Individuals are motivated by different things in different ways An individual’s level of motivation may be reflected through their: Job satisfaction Absenteeism Turnover © 2008 Prentice Hall

Need Theories of Motivation Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow) ERG Theory Two-Factor Theory Theory of Needs © 2008 Prentice Hall

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs A hierarchy of needs – physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization – where as each need is met, the next higher-level need becomes the motivating focus © 2008 Prentice Hall

ERG Theory Three core needs – Existence, Relatedness, and Growth – in which more than one need may be operative at the same time and that if the fulfillment of a higher-level need is unrealized, the desire to satisfy a lower-level need becomes the motivating focus © 2008 Prentice Hall

Two-Factor Theory Intrinsic factors – motivational factors – like achievement, recognition, advancement, and responsibility are related to job satisfaction while extrinsic factors – hygiene factors – like salary, relationships with colleagues, and work conditions are associated with dissatisfaction © 2008 Prentice Hall

Theory of Needs A person’s motivation can be explained by their need for achievement, power, and affiliation © 2008 Prentice Hall

Process Theories of Motivation Theory X and Theory Y http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_X_and_Theory_Y Theory Z Goal-Setting Theory Equity Theory Reinforcement Theory Expectancy Theory © 2008 Prentice Hall

Theory X and Theory Y Theory X: Assumes that people dislike work, are lazy, dislike responsibility, and must be coerced into working hard Theory Y: Assumes that people like work, are creative, like autonomy, and seek responsibility © 2008 Prentice Hall

Theory Z Reflects the Japanese work philosophy which includes a belief in lifetime employment, strong company loyalty, and group consensus © 2008 Prentice Hall

Goal-Setting Theory A specific and difficult goal, with clear feedback related to how well a person is doing in relation to meeting a goal, can be used to enhance a person’s work productivity © 2008 Prentice Hall

Equity Theory Individuals compare their work inputs and outcomes with others and then respond to eliminate any inequities between those comparisons © 2008 Prentice Hall

Reinforcement Theory States that both positive and negative feedback conditions behavior © 2008 Prentice Hall

Expectancy Theory People exert a high level of effort when (1) he or she believes that effort will lead to a good performance appraisal, (2) that a good appraisal will lead to rewards, and (3) that these rewards will satisfy the person’s needs © 2008 Prentice Hall

Motivating Team Members Recognize individual differences Use specific goals and feedback Allow team members to participate in decisions that affect them Link rewards to performance Check the system for equity http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMM_67.htm © 2008 Prentice Hall

Manager vs. Leader Manager: A formal position of authority in an organization that is responsible for planning, organizing, directing, monitoring, and controlling the activities of others Leader: A person, who, by virtue of his or her personal attributes, can exert influence on others http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_41.htm © 2008 Prentice Hall

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiedler_contingency_model © 2008 Prentice Hall

Situational Leadership Model (SLM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_leadership_theory © 2008 Prentice Hall

Five Essential Practices To Effective Leadership Challenging the process – Search for opportunities for change Inspiring a shared vision – envision the future and others see the same future Enabling others to act – Cultivate collaboration and build spirited teams Modeling the way – Create standards of excellence and set an example Encouraging the heart – Recognize the contribution of others © 2008 Prentice Hall

Power Absolute capacity of a person to influence the behavior or attitudes of one or more target persons at a given point in time Ability to force people to do something they would not normally do http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_56.htm http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_04.htm © 2008 Prentice Hall

Positional Power & Types Power derived from an individual’s position in an organization Types: Legitimate Power – Influencing people based on being in a position of authority. Reward Power – Influencing people based on being in a position to distribute rewards. Coercive Power – Influencing people based on being in a position to punish. Information Power – Influencing people based on their dependency on controlled information. Ecological Power – Influencing people based on controlling physical resources like equipment and space. © 2008 Prentice Hall

Personal Power & Types Outcome of an individual’s unique characteristics Types: Expert power – Influencing people based on having expertise, special skills, or knowledge (e.g., financial guru Warren Buffett) Referent power – Influencing people based on their strong affection, admiration, or loyalty (e.g., former US Secretary of State Colin Powel) Charismatic power – Influencing people based on having a favorable personality and interpersonal style (e.g., entertainment mogul Oprah Winfrey) © 2008 Prentice Hall

Conflict & Types Opposition of people in an organization from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, external or internal demands Types: Functional: Conflict that supports the goals of the team and improves its performance Low to moderate levels of Task or Process conflict can increase a team’s performance Dysfunctional: Conflict that hinders group performance and is destructive to team performance Relationship conflict or high levels of Task or Process conflict will hinder a team’s performance © 2008 Prentice Hall

Primary Causes of Conflict Schedule – disagreements on task duration and sequencing Project priorities – disagreements on project vision and scope Manpower – disagreement on the utilization of people, especially those simultaneously involved in multiple projects Technical – disagreements over system design elegance and resource limitations Administration – disagreements due to authority over key resources Personality – disagreements due to dysfunctional interpersonal interactions Cost – disagreements rising from increasing resource constraints as a project evolves © 2008 Prentice Hall

Conflict and Team Performance © 2008 Prentice Hall

Project Conflict Conditions Description Ambiguous roles, work boundaries, responsibility, and authority Project teams often have members with different reporting structures, overlapping or conflicting responsibilities that can lead to conflict. Inconsistent or incompatible goals Team members may perceive others to have different or conflicting goals that can lead to conflict. Communication problems Task, process, or relationship ambiguity can result in reduced or ineffective communication that can lead to conflict. Dependence on another party Team members depend on others to complete tasks or provide resources; delays or work quality issues can lead to conflict. Specialization or differentiation Team members from different professional backgrounds often have different viewpoints, languages, and goals that can lead to conflict. Need for joint decision making and consensus Teams with a diverse mix of members may feel pressure to conform to the majority opinion, which can lead to conflict. Behavior regulations Project teams have norms for working together that may conflict with an individual’s preferred work processes. Unresolved prior conflicts Past unresolved issues between team members can lead to conflict. © 2008 Prentice Hall

Conflict Intensity Range © 2008 Prentice Hall

Conflict Resolution Techniques Problem solving Face-to-face meetings can be used to identify and resolve conflicts through open and candid discussions. Shared goals Create shared goals that can only be achieved through the cooperation of the conflicting parties. Resource expansion When conflict is caused by resource scarcity – say, money, opportunities, space, equipment – additional resources can be used to resolve discrepancies. Avoidance Withdrawal from, or suppression of, the conflict. Smoothing Playing down differences while emphasizing common interests between the conflicting parties. Compromise Each party to the conflict gives up something of value. Authoritative command A person of power mandates an outcome and communicates it to the conflicting parties. Altering team member behavior Use some type of training or intervention to alter the attitudes or behaviors that are causing conflict. Altering the team structure Change the formal team structure so that conflicting members limit their interaction; a more extreme solution is to remove members from the team. © 2008 Prentice Hall

Important Political Skills Understand what your organization values Understand how decisions are made in your organization Expand and strengthen your network Develop a clear and easy to communicate story Lead by example © 2008 Prentice Hall

Global Project Teams Increased in popularity due to: Advances in telecommunications Increased globalization Increased outsourcing © 2008 Prentice Hall

Why Outsource? Reduce or control costs Free up internal resources Gain access to world-class capabilities Increase revenue potential of the organization Reduce time to market Increase process efficiencies Outsource non-core activities Compensate for a lack of specific capabilities or skills © 2008 Prentice Hall

Global Project Team Management Challenges © 2008 Prentice Hall

Culture Collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another © 2008 Prentice Hall

Cultures Vary By: Power distance: describes how different societies handle human inequality issues Uncertainty avoidance: level of risk taking common to a culture Individualism/collectivism: reflects the extent to which a society values the position of an individual versus the position of a group Masculinity/femininity: degree to which a society is characterized by masculine or feminine qualities Concept of time: extent to which a culture has a longer- or shorter-term orientation © 2008 Prentice Hall

Cultures Vary By (cont) http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newLDR_66.htm http://geert-hofstede.com/turkey.html l © 2008 Prentice Hall

Other Possible Barriers Language – e.g., communication language and norms Work culture – e.g., work skills, habits, and attitudes toward work Aesthetics – e.g., art, music, and culture Education – e.g., attitudes toward education and literacy Religion, beliefs, and attitudes – e.g., spiritual institutions and values Social organizations – e.g., family and social cohesiveness Political life – e.g., political stability © 2008 Prentice Hall
