Abstract

Theory holds that working together brings better results than working alone. team structures often account for organizational success in the contemporary corporate environment. Modern organizations favor team structures and teamwork viewing them as key elements for organizational success.
This paper identifies and explains the basic attributes of a team structure (common vision and mission, defined roles or functions, complementary skills, equal effort, synergy and equal responsibility), which along with the advanced attributes (team leadership, mutual performance monitoring, backup behavior, adaptability and team orientation) facilitate team effectiveness. The paper analyzes also the cognitive aspects involved in team structures identifying interpersonal conflict, open conflict, team diversity, and trust as the cognitive barriers that the organization should overcome in order to avoid as ineffective teamwork and/or failure of a team structure.
Keywords: effective teamwork, synergy, interpersonal conflict, adaptability, trust
