Cohesion and Performance in Global Virtual Teams: The Moderating Role of Technical Skills
Get PDFDespite increasing recognition of the issues posed by virtual and culturally-diverse teamwork in global teams, little is known about the impact of cohesion on team performance when face-to-face contact is not possible. This study examines the perceptions of members of 463 global virtual teams composed of 1989 university students, with respect to team cohesion and team performance. The study assesses the extent to which team cohesion affect team performance and whether the size of such effect depends on team members' technical skills. To achieve this goal, hierarchical multiple regression analyses are conducted. The results clearly indicate that the interaction between team cohesion and team members' technical skill explain additional variance in team performance scores over and above the main effects of team cohesion and team members' technical skill alone. Specifically, team cohesion is positively and significantly related to team performance when team members' skills are high, but is not significantly related to team performance when team members' skills are low. Based on the empirical results, the influence of cohesion on team performance should be predicated on the team type and characteristics. This study suggests the existence of boundary conditions to the cohesion-performance relationship and proposes the use of the expeditious coherence term for global virtual teams. Given the growing usage of global virtual teams in the business world, this study concludes that cohesion develops differently and have asymmetrical effects on performance, according to distinct team features.Kaw Valley Ban

Sexual and gender minority groups: Application of a novel resilience-based integrated treatment approach
Get PDFAn Empirically Supported Treatment Case StudyMeyer’s (2003) extension of the Minority Stress Model highlights the impact of social experiences, primarily stigma, on identity formation and self-esteem in sexual and gender minority (SGM) groups. With the appropriate tools and coping strategies that target the development of resilience, SGM clients can respond to future stress in adaptive ways that encourage self-affirmation and acceptance rather than suppression or concealment. To facilitate growth, this case study developed a novel integrated treatment combining two affirmative care approaches. The objective was to decrease perceptions of stress and interpretations of social rejection, while working to increase resilience skills dedicated to differing realms of experience (e.g., intrapersonal, cognitive, interpersonal, and behavioral) while identifying opportunities for social support. Primary treatment goals include increasing gender identification stability via cognitive restructuring, while increasing resilience-based coping within a demi-bisexual young adult client within the first year of questioning their gender identity. With progress measures supporting positive therapy outcomes, preliminary evidence supports the continued development and empirical investigation of this resilience-based integrated treatment.Department of Psycholog
