Psychological aspects of teamwork
Voskár, Michal ; Jarošová, Eva (advisor) ; Pauknerová, Daniela (referee)
Forming individuals into work groups is a common practice to effectively achieve given goals. However, people are not well aware of psychological aspects affecting group work. This paper introduces chosen psychological phenomena and summarizes their influence on teamwork into one comprehensive unit. Second, it examines emergence of groupthink based on Janis' model (1972) in a decision-making environment with high impact on subjects involved. The results confirm implications of Janis' model in practice and suggest that groupthink may have an indirect effect on team performance mediated by interaction within the group. The findings of this study indicate more attention should be paid to internal activities of the team in future research of Janis' model of groupthink.
