    This paper introduces the concept of Cognitive Discrepancies of Environment (CDE) and presents a scale designed to measure these variations. To validate the scale, the study employed a multi-stage process involving a comprehensive review of prior research on the external environment, interviews with subject matter experts, and two studies conducted with members of cross-functional teams (CFT). The results indicate that CDE consists of four sub-dimensions reflecting differences in CFT members' perceptions of their external environment, encompassing customer segments, customer demands, markets, and competitors. Furthermore, the findings affirm that CDE is a conceptually unique and distinct construct, separate from established teamwork concepts such as shared mental models and cognitive diversity. Finally, the studies found that the CDE has a negative impact on the CFT performance. These findings carry significant implications for the effective management of cross-functional teams, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging members' perceptual differences in external environments to optimize CFT performance.

  • The relationship between Japanese IT engineers' perceived limits of competence, resilience, and career autonomy: Focusing on the mediating effect of career autonomy

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the mechanism by which the two concepts of resilience and career autonomy affect IT engineers' perceived limits of competence. The existence of this sense of competence limitations has been noted for over 40 years, and continues to plague Japanese IT engineers. As a result of verification through a survey of 296 IT engineers, we show that the three elements of: resilience, career autonomous behavior (behavior caused by career autonomy), and sense of competence limitations are related via a mediation variable model. This study may lead to elucidation of the mechanism behind of the sense of competence limitations that have plagued Japanese IT engineers for many years.
