  • IT projects need engineers with various backgrounds to cooperate to build an IT system that satisfy the requirements of users given a limited expense and time. Such diversity of team members and the complexity of task naturally involve considerable amount of conflict among team members. High level of conflict among team members is known to be detrimental to the performance of the team. The purpose of this study is to examine the reasons for conflicts among team members in IT projects and to check how the level of conflict affects the performance of a project and the satisfaction of the members of the project team. To test the relationship, a survey on 166 participants in IT projects was conducted. The reasons for conflicts in IT projects were categorized into five types. The level of ambiguity was found to have a significant correlation with the level of conflict. And the level of conflict, in turn, is found to have a significant effect on the degree of satisfaction among team members and the project results. Based on the research results, it is suggested that a clear definition of tasks and their boundaries is required to reduce ambiguity and thus, the level of conflict and improve the level of satisfaction of IT project team members.

  • The successful management of software (SW) projects is a continuous concern to managers, which is attributed to the contradictory demands that most projects are facing; meeting user requirements within time and budget limit while flexibly dealing risks during the progress of the projects. The present study asserts project performance and risk mitigation are not tradeoff but to be achieved simultaneously, which is called SW project ambidexterity. Drawing on the literature on organizational behavior, hypotheses are developed speculating the relation among project performance, risk mitigation, team collective improvisation, team behavioral integration, and team diversity. Using empirical data collected from 102 SW project teams of 507 team members in South Korea, empirical analysis indicates team collective improvisation is a significant antecedent to SW project ambidexterity, playing a pivotal role to balance the contradictory demands. Furthermore, team behavioral integration positively influences the degree of team collective improvisation, and the magnitude of the relation is partially contingent on the team members' age and major diversity. The present study advances theory by providing a context specific explanation about the SW project ambidexterity and its precedents.

  • The purpose of this study is to develop a teaching-learning model of convergence project based on team teaching. Based on development research methodology which explored a university case, the teaching-learning model was developed including three phases such as preparation, planning, and implementation & evaluation. The preparation phase has three steps as follows: to organize team teaching faculty; to develop convergence projects cooperated by industry and university; and to design instructions based on supporting convergence projects. The last step of preparation phase consists of five design activities of: (1) instructions and teaching contents; (2) communication channel among faculty members; (3) feedback system on students' performance; (4) tools to support learners' activity; and (5) evaluation system. The planning phase has two steps to analyze learners and to introduce and modify instruction and themes of convergence projects. The implementation & evaluation phase includes five steps as bellow: (1) to organize project teams and match teams with faculty members; (2) to do team building and assign duties to students of a team; (3) to provide instruction and consulting to teams; (4) to help teams to conduct projects through creative problem solving; and (5) to design mid-term/final presentation and evaluation. Lastly, the research implications and limitations were discussed for future studies.

  • 본 연구는 건축설계 프로젝트 수행시의 효율적인 팀 구성의 방법을 모색하기 위하여 진행되었다. 이를 위하여, (1) 학생들의 설계스튜디오 프로젝트의 특성, (2) 건축설계 교육과 관련한 교수법 이론, (3) 건축설계 스튜디오의 역할분담과 팀 구성의 방법 등을 연구하였으며, 졸업 후 진로인 건축설계회사의 (1) 팀 구성 방법의 특징, (2) 프로젝트 팀의 유형과 장점, (3) 역할분담의 효율적인 방법 등에 대한 문헌연구를 실시하였다. 학생의 설계스튜디오에서의 팀장과 팀원의 역할은 미리 정해진 기간을 기준으로 교대로 담당하는 것이 프로젝트에 대한 동기유발과 소속감을 유지하는데 역할을 하였으며, 건축설계 회사에서는 선호도보다는 생산성에 우선한 의사결정방식에 따라 (1) 경험, (2) 디자인능력, (3) 프로젝트 일정 등이 우선 고려사항으로 정리되었다. 하지만 회사에 대한 지속적인 동기유발과 소속감을 유지하기 위해서는 팀 구성의 효율적인 방법을 연구하는 것이 요구된다.

  • This work identifies the key factors influencing the success of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and trans-disciplinary R&D projects in transition economies by integrating knowledge management, organizational, inter/intra-collaboration (open-innovation), and leadership perspectives, while also addressing the perspective of the science of team science, which is an integrative approach to R&D. This is followed by providing the major sub-constructs of team science and policy implications to better facilitate multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary R&D projects in knowledge-based transition economies.

  • This Study has empirically examined the relationship between the role of R & D project leaders and their team performance using data from 87 project teams in 6 R & d organizations. The results reveal that : 1) R & D project leaders play five different roles for performing their jobs-strategic plannar, team builder, gatekeeper, expert and champion : 2) all but the champion role of leaders are positively associated with project team performance unless they have too short team tenure to materialize their role efforts : 3) However, the relationship between the role of leaders and project team performance varies according to characteristics of their team and project tasks. More specifically, it becomes more important for leaders to focus on gatekeeping and championing roles as their team gats older. Team building role of leaders is more important for higher performance of relatively certain R & D projects, while for uncertain R & D projects gatekeeping role appears to be more important.

  • 데이터베이스 설계 교과목에서 팀 프로젝트는 학생들의 데이터베이스 설계 역량을 계발하기 위해 매우 중요한 과정이며, 팀 프로젝트를 원활히 수행하기 위해서는 팀원들 간의 협업과 팀워크 못지 않게 학생-교수 간의 활발한 상호작용이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 2020학년도 1학기에 갑자기 전면 비대면 수업을 하게 되면서, 데이터베이스를 구축하는 팀 프로젝트가 큰 비중을 차지하는 이 수업을 효과적으로 운영할 수 있을 지 의문이었다. 하지만 줌과 같은 실시간 화상 매체를 이용한 상호작용과 온라인 교육지원시스템(LMS)에서 지원하는 토론, 퀴즈, 질의응답 등의 기능을 적극적으로 활용하고, 온라인 발표와 상호 평가 등을 통해서 팀 프로젝트를 원활히 진행할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 비대면으로 공학 팀 프로젝트를 운영한 경험을 공유하고, 세 차례 실시한 설문을 기초로 이 수업의 개선 방향과 비대면 수업을 전반적으로 개선할 수 있는 여러 가지 방안을 제안하였다.

  • After the construction of offshore plants, the function and integrity of system in offshore plants should be commissioned. As the executor of many FLNG projects, Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd has faced some challenges for commissioning which are not similar to those in other offshore project. This study shows the differences between the commissioning of typical offshore projects and the one of FLNG projects. By the characteristics of offshore, performing the commissioning activity of FLNG near shipyard as much as possible reduces the risk of malfunction. The possible solutions to achieve these strategies are introduced.

  • This study explored the elements that affect team achievements in virtual environments. In this study, consideration was given to the role of group dynamics in facilitating productive interaction. We aspired to reveal the mechanisms of group dynamics and examined how group dynamics affected team achievements in virtual environments. The empirical study was performed with undergraduate students enrolled in an e-learning course. In collaboration with other majors, students executed team projects and managed project issues in forums or chat rooms. The results of the empirical study indicated that leadership, creative friction, and group cohesion (components of group dynamics) had positive relationships with team achievements. The findings confirmed that addressing creative conflict is a method to improve team performance and that leadership is a key factor in project teams.
