Organizational Behaviour/Human Resources

Enhancing the performance of virtual teams

Magda Donia, Telfer School and Thomas O’Neill, University of Calgary are investigating how virtual work teams can enhance their task performance by integrating peer feedback. To test their hypothesis that a well-designed peer feedback system might enhance cooperative behaviours and improve task performance in virtual teams, or VTs, the researchers will gather student participants in an experimental study involving several hundred small teams.

The team received a grant for this research from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Two international health projects awarded grants
