Description¶

The review draws the practical implication that organisations should sustainably foster work teams "by ensuring stable team learning conditions for work teams to counteract decreases in the engagement in team learning behaviours". Because team learning behaviours emerge bottom-up through repeated interactions and can decrease as well as increase over time, organisations should identify their desired outcomes and understand which behaviours are more likely to lead to the end goal before intervening.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Organisations must identify their desired outcomes and understand which behaviours lead to the end goal

Constraints¶

• The review notes not all combinations of change types and characteristics have been examined yet, so whether all types occur in practice cannot be answered

Target Learners¶

• members of natural work teams in organisations

Target Learning Goals¶

• sustaining engagement in team learning behaviours over time to reach team performance and innovation goals

Claims¶

• Qualitative studies identify dynamics, patterns, and development in team learning behaviours, linked to situated knowledge and transactivity [+W]
• Quantitative longitudinal studies mostly show minor change in team learning behaviours, with dynamics in boundary crossing and team activity [+W]
