ASSESSMENT OF GROUP WORK: The connection of group traits to group mediators

Discovery enables a measurement of team effectiveness using 14 team traits moderating the respective team Mediators ‘Affect’, ‘Cognition’ and ‘Behaviour’ which ultimately determine every team’s output and success in their day-to-day routine. Discovery is taking a unique approach enabling a deep understanding of your own team traits and effectiveness.

Modern teamwork effectiveness research is clear about how team effectiveness is determined using a refined work-input-output model and provides a more sophisticated definition of influencing factors called “Mediators” in-between. With Discovery we provide a tool which measures these Mediators indirectly using our 14 Moderating Traits. The input and output parameters of teamwork have seen a lot of research over the years. Teamwork output is defined with generated quantity, quality, efficiency, or team viability and teamwork input is among others defined with motivation, knowledge, or capabilities the team possesses. Research also clearly connects positive and negative output feedback loops to the input parameters. In return, a measurement and understanding of Team Mediators is key for work teams as they influence how input parameters are generating output and act as positive or negative amplification of input and output characteristics of work teams.  Coach in a BOX – Discovery is using the Connecting Factor Matrix (CFM) to build the bridge between the directly measurable Moderating Traits to the effectiveness determining Mediators.

In this technical report we dive into the derivation of the group analysis. We first set the foundation with the theory of group work behind the model of connected team moderating traits and their team mediator. Second, we introduce how we measure these aspects in the team and how the training can be customized for each individual team (Link to Coach in a Box – Foundation). Finally, we provide empirical results of the model in practice, providing statistical evidence that the model is serving its purpose.
