Engineering Organization Theory Organizational Behavior Psychology Teams Organizational Behavior Sensemaking Coordination Complex Systems The present study explores the dynamic and emergent behavior of two teams, separately working through a synthetic task environment representing a battle management command and control domain under two levels of organizational centralization. While the manipulation of centralization had minimal effects on overall performance, evidence suggested that the need to seek authorization for actions from a central authority was a source of frustration. Both teams adapted over time, changing patterns of coordination to better meet the task demands. The results are discussed in the context of the concepts of normal accidents, high reliability organizations, and self-organization in complex organizations. Specific parallels between sensemaking in organization and perceptual-motor coordination (i.e., collaborative structures and smart mechanisms) are discussed. 2008-12-30 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1229430203 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1229430203 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
