Identifying the Specific Behaviors that Define Teamwork – A Review of the Literature and Integrative Meta-Model For Business School Applications

Abstract

Seven prominent research-based models of teamwork effectiveness were reviewed and content analyzed. The result was a meta-model consisting of 41 specific positive and negative behaviors, grouped into four critical competencies and two major factors. Applications of the meta-model in teaching, assessing, and developing teamwork skills in collegiate business schools are discussed along with suggestions for future research.
