Abstract

Nowadays, team members often use mobile messenger service (MMS) in performing team projects. Team members can freely express their ideas or opinions using MMS without any restrictions in terms of place and time. But, in team project, using MMS is pressing them to perform their project more quickly than off-line conference, and assigning a role outside the range of their ability. In other words, team members can recognize work overload by utilizing MMS and this work overload can lead to team conflict. This study examines the effect of work overload through MMS use on team performance. We consider team engagement and team trust as the key drivers of team performance. However, team conflict will obstruct team engagement and team trust. Research model was analyzed by 135 university students who were doing several team projects. The analysis results show that work load through MMS use has a significant effect on team conflict. In other words, when work load is increased by utilizing MMS, it leads to team conflict. This team conflict loses trust between team member and hinders team performance. Lastly, this research provides several implications for right usage of MMS to improve team project performance.

최근 팀 구성원들은 팀 프로젝트 수행 시 모바일 메신저 서비스(MMS: Mobile Messenger Service)를 자주 활용한다. 팀 구성원들은 MMS 활용을 통해 언제 어디서나 자유롭게 아이디어나 의사를 표현할 수 있다. 하지만, 팀 프로젝트에서 MMS 활용은 오프라인 회의보다 빨리 프로젝트를 수행하도록 압박을 받고, 능력 범위 밖의 역할을 할당 받기도 한다. 즉, 팀 구성원들은 MMS 활용으로 인해 업무에 대한 압박감이나 스트레스가 증가할 수 있으며, 이러한 과부하는 팀 간 갈등을 야기할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 MMS 활용으로 인한 업무 과부하가 팀 성과에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 팀 성과에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 팀 몰입과 팀 신뢰를 고려하였으며, 팀 갈등은 팀 몰입과 팀 신뢰를 저해한다고 예상하였다. 팀 프로젝트가 많은 135명의 대학생을 바탕으로 연구 모형을 분석하였으며, PLS를 활용하였다. 연구 분석 결과 업무 과부하는 팀 갈등을 야기하는 주요 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 즉 MMS 활용으로 인한 업무 과부하가 발생하다보면 팀 간 갈등이 야기될 수 있고, 이는 팀 구성원 간 신뢰를 저하시켜 결국 팀 성과가 떨어지는 결과를 초래하게 된다. 마지막으로 본 연구 논문에서는 팀 프로젝트를 향상시킬 수 있는 MMS의 올바른 사용 방법에 대한 시사점을 제공해주었다.
