论文摘要
组织依靠小组成立来解决复杂的任务,小组通常通过定期更改其组成来适应他们面临的任务需求。先前的研究对小组适应对任务绩效的影响有模棱两可的结果。本文旨在了解群体适应的影响,该过程定义为定期改变小组组成,对复杂任务绩效的过程,并考虑了个人学习和任务复杂性在这种关系中的调节作用。我们基于基于NK-Framework的复杂任务环境中基于代理的自适应组模型的分析。结果表明,重新组织良好的群体可能是有益的,但前提是个人学习受到限制。但是,在某些情况下,组适应可能会展现不良影响。我们提供了广泛的分析,可以详细介绍,从而有助于解释先前研究的模棱两可的结果。
Organisations rely upon group formation to solve complex tasks, and groups often adapt to the demands of the task they face by changing their composition periodically. Previous research comes to ambiguous results regarding the effects of group adaptation on task performance. This paper aims to understand the impact of group adaptation, defined as a process of periodically changing a group's composition, on complex task performance and considers the moderating role of individual learning and task complexity in this relationship. We base our analyses on an agent-based model of adaptive groups in a complex task environment based on the NK-framework. The results indicate that reorganising well-performing groups might be beneficial, but only if individual learning is restricted. However, there are also cases in which group adaptation might unfold adverse effects. We provide extensive analyses that shed additional light on and, thereby, help explain the ambiguous results of previous research.
