Concise summary of the articels

This article focuses on team works rather than individual work for the purpose of organizational
productivity. “There is no ‘I’ in team.” Taking a quick look at the four letters that comprise this
word and one can conclude that, indeed the letter ‘I’ does not make an appearance. This is the
main issues discussed with in the articels and Approach this saying from a figurative
perspective, and an entire world of interpretation. Apply this ideas in the bussines world that
there has been rapid organizational movement from a collection of individual jobs to work
groups and teams in response to emergent multilevel systems. The last two decades have
experienced rapid advancements in technology and an “unfolding of global forces that have
pushed organizations worldwide to restructure work around teams to enable more rapid, flexible,
and adaptive responses to the unexpected” (Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006, p. 77). In recent decades,
there has been a tremendous shift in the structure and operation of organizations. Advancements
in technology and skill diversity have fostered a modern workplace of skill and
workflowinterdependencies. Hence, for success in today’s business world, it is imperative for
organizations to understand the forces that impact team outcomes. This articels also set aspecific
objectives which are identified A number of forces are accelerating the shift in work structure.
An increasingly stressful and emotionally taxing environment characterized by high competition,
constant transformation, innovations in technology and best practices,and looming uncertainty
generates many pressures for skill diversity, rapid response, and successful adaptation By using
different secondary source of datas most of them are different books and journals. This study
also elaborate what mean by organizational behaviours and the theories and also difine team
which is composed of two or more individuals who possess any number of commongoals. This
article also compare the team work with in different decades and discuss the function of team
rathern than individual work. On this study they can use quantitative datas and conlude by using
tabulation methods to analyse the data. This study conclude that study on 100 managers from the
same organization shows that female managers have higher communication skills when
compared to male managers,but are also more influenced by group think. A total of 200
employees from this organization were also studied and the results show that female employees
contribute to team outcomes more than male employees. Implications for researchers, managers,
and human resource professionals are considered.

Evaluation of the atricel

This study was evaluated by different outhors findings related with the objectives of team work
which is a tremendous shift in the structure and operation of organizations. Advancements in
technology and skill diversity have fostered a modern workplace of skill and workflow
interdependencies. A modern work system that is dynamic and complex creates commensurate
demands on teams to coordinate and combine skill sets and resources to resolve tasks efficiently
and effectively (Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006). From an organizational perspective, a work system
composed of teams creates a pool of collective knowledge, skills, and resources that support
members in resolving a task. Therefore, team task becomes the focal point around which work
structure and team coordination are determined. This and other different researchrs idea are
evaluated this study and also evaluated by theories which is related with the system called
organizational behaviour. This study create the culture of sharing and collaboration,
organizations should engage in activities that enhance and leverage the benefits of both cohesion
and communication among members by using different scholars idea.
This articels was evaluated by using quantitative datas by observing the environment and
surveying teams. This strategy allows for a more comprehensive study that illuminates the
perspectives of both managers and employees. And develop different hypothesis for evaluating
the study like Female managers will have higher scores in valuing communication with
employees, Female managers will have higher scores on becoming influenced by group think
and Female employees will contribute to team outcomes more than male employees. Finally
analysing the data by using percentage and tabulation method of analyzing the data and showed
that female managers valued communication with their teams more than their male counterparts.
Organizations that value communication, accountability, and transparency are the ones that are
more successful during times of organizational change.
With regard to the findings this contribution focuses on women in leadership positions. We
propose that two convictions are relevant to the effects of having women in high places. On the
one hand, women as a group are expected to employ different leadership styles than men, in this
way adding diversity to management teams. On the other hand, individual women are expected
to ascend to leadership positions by showing their ability to display the competitiveness and
toughness typically required from those at the top. And also Although, both men and women can
increase their emotional intelligence levels, which may make them the better manager of the 21st century.
Similarly, it is important for a great communicator to be able to use facial expressions to convey specific
messages. The ability to engage personal emotions and the emotions of others are important skills for
managers to possess in the 21 st century workplace. As organizational leaders, managers can set the
performance pace and collective attitude within their teams through cohesion. Having better skills of
emotional intelligence than their male counterparts, female managers “can develop strong emotional
bonds to other members of their team and to the team itself.
With regard to conclusion this article clearly suggests that teamwork affects people’s careers and
workplace interactions and therefore is worthy of continued scholarly investigation and finally they
recommend that the bussiness organization should apply team work rather than individual work for
organizational productivities.
