This study is made to diagnose team organizations and leadership style across functional job groups.
A process model for diagnosing team organizations was found by consideration of previous studies and empirical examination in a Korean company.
There are six category variables to diagnose team organizations. 1) the level of team members' recognitions of team 2) fitness of firm's systems 3) type of team structure 4) operating competences of team 5) team leader's leadership style 6) measurment and reward system of team performance.
Especially, autonomy of team. interrelation of jobs in a team. teamwork. direct decision making with team leader and team member. horizontal structure of team. team members' skill variety. team size were found to be important operating variables in the operating competences of team.
Survey with 784 members and interviews with 64 members(20 team leaders and 44 team members in 20 teams) were used to study. On the basis of statistical analyses with SAS, the process model for diagnosing teams and leadership were studied by the method of descriptive analyses.
The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows:
1) There is no measurment and reward system of team performance in a Korean company so she couldn't get team members' commitments to achieve their goals effectively.
2) An adequate member's size of team in a Korean company is about 30
3) Every team has inner hierarchical organizations informally.
4) In a Korean company, leaders' role was biased to rational goal and internal process rather than human relations.
On the basis of these findings, some practical implementation ideas to be a successful team organizations were suggested to a Korean company.
