Dimas, Isabel Dórdio; Lourenço, Paulo Renato Martins Ribeiro da Silva; Rebelo, Teresa; Rocha, HumbertoThis study explores the relationship between team cohesion and team learning by adopting a nonlinear approach. A quantitative study with a sample composed of 82 organizational teams was conducted. Radial Basis Function (RBF) interpolation models were used and results showed that the best predicting ability was obtained by the Thin Plate RBF model, which revealed that an increase in both dimensions of cohesion l...
PLS visualization using biplots: an application to team effectivenes
Silva, Alberto; Dimas, Isabel Dórdio; Lourenço, Paulo Renato; Rebelo, Teresa; Freitas, AdelaideBased on a factorization provided by the Partial Least Square (PLS) methodology, the construction of a biplot for both exploratory and predictive purposes was shown to visually identify patterns among response and explanatory variables in the same graph. An application on a team effectiveness research, collected from 82 teams from 57 Portuguese companies and their respective leaders, containing two effectivenes...

While the literature shows contradictory results regarding the impact of conflicts on teams, the strategies used to manage them have shown that can help to explain the dfferentiated effects of conflict situations. Adopting a n...
