| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立台灣工業技術學院 === 管理技術研究所 === 85 === A recent trend in organization management has
concentrated on restructuring work around groups rather than
individuals in response to growing demands for efficiency and
flexibility. However, conflict between group members can have
disruptive effects on group activities. Furthermore, as groups
grow, members in groups get acquaintance gradually. It has been
found that groups with familiar members are likely to outperform
groups of strangers. As a result, group effectiveness is
considered to be affected by group diversity and familiarity.
This thesis is especially interested in the effect of decision
styles on individual beliefs and attitudes in teamwork over
group development stages. After surveying 89
undergraduate students in two MIS courses, this thesis found
that at the forming stage of group, decision styles are
significantly correlated with individual*s beliefs in group
experiences. Findings also show the importance of the
maintenance of group member*s beliefs and attitudes because good
first experiences are related to the final experiences.
