チームメンバーの「構えのタイプ」間で起きた負の相互作用の検討

抄録

In the methodology of team collaborative design, some approaches utilize the Jungian psychological type, which supports understanding cognitive style. Psychological type is one of the individual-level variables of team effectiveness. However, type diversity causes not only positive interactions between members but also negative interactions. Therefore, we focused on the “mental attitude type,” which is relatively easy to be aware of and estimate, and analyzed the association between types when a negative interaction occurred. In the verification, the subjects were 167 people (122 men and 45 women) who took the subject named “Team Working Exercise.” Negative interactions were analyzed as follows. In Analysis 1, the subject identified the member’s type who caused a human error by the subject’s behavior. Then, Fisher’s exact test was implemented to verify whether the types between the parties were associated. In Analysis 2, the subject identified the member’s type who caused a human error on the subject. Then, the statistic test was implemented by the same procedure. Both results indicated the association with a significance level of 1% between the opposite types and showed that the occurrence contents were characteristic. Considering the subjects were in limited social groups, the results should be careful generalizing. However, those findings can help prevent and suppress negative interactions in teamwork.
