Abstract

This study aims to explore team performance, including its constituent factors, influencing factors, and improvement strategies. Regarding the definition of team performance, scholars generally agree that it is the collective outcome achieved by team members through collaborative work, information sharing, and efficient resource utilization. In terms of the dimensions of team performance, this study holds that team performance should encompass four dimensions: task completion, team innovation, member growth and satisfaction, and team growth. As for the influencing factors of team performance, existing research mainly focuses on three levels: individual, team, and organizational. These factors have all been proven to have significant impacts on team performance. Meanwhile, this study will also explore the future directions and trends of team performance research, providing new ideas and perspectives for related fields, in order to reveal the current status, main theoretical frameworks, and future development trends of team performance research.
