Team Adaptation to Structural Misalignment: Determinants of Alternative Change Mechanisms Michael D. Johnson, John R. Hollenbeck, Daniel R. Ilgen, D. Scott Derue, Dustin Jundt, and Christopher Barnes Michigan State University

2 Structural Fit in Teams  No “one best way” to bring about good team performance (Taylor, 1911)  Team structure should be aligned with the task environment (Burns & Stalker, 1961; Hollenbeck, 2000)  Structure is overlooked as a possible change when teams are misaligned

4 A Typology of Change Mechanisms  Not all changes are equally visible – Process and personnel are the figure – Structure is the ground H1: In the absence of any intervention, teams that are structurally misaligned with their environment are most likely to make (a) process changes with greater frequency than personnel or structural changes, and (b) personnel changes with greater frequency than structural changes.

5 Overcoming the Bias  Providing information on the typology – Training can reduce decision biases (Kahneman & Tversky, 1973; Fong, Krantz, & Nisbett 1986) – Availability heuristic (Kahneman & Tversky, 1974) H2: When teams that are structurally misaligned with their environment are informed of the typology of changes, they will be more likely to choose to make a structural change relative to personnel or process changes.

6 Overcoming the Bias  Providing structural feedback – Increases both salience and legitimacy of structural change – Extension of biofeedback (Waldstein, Manuck, Ryan, & Muldoon, 1991) H3: When teams that are structurally misaligned with their environment are provided with feedback on their structural alignment, they will be more likely to choose to make a structural change.

7 Methods  Research Participants and Task – 312 undergraduate students in 78 four- person teams – Distributed Dynamic Decision-making (DDD) simulation (Miller, Young, Kleinman, & Serfaty, 1998) – Two 30-minute simulations with a predictable environment – Divisional structure in first simulation

8 Methods  Manipulations and Measures – 2 x 2 design » Information on the typology » Structural feedback Structural feedback – Change decision: Consensus on what to change – Task performance » Identification speed » Attack speed » Friendly fire kills » Missed opportunities – Contextual performance » Helping » Communication
