Abstract

Problems relating to team formation is common across many industrial sectors, including education, sport and general business. For Team Leaders, team member selection can be a critical challenge due to the complexity in creating a well-balanced productive unit. It is beyond manual implementation to build near optimal teams as pools of employees grow. One of the essential skills of individuals is the ability to work in a team, and it takes on greater importance in engineering workgroups, where each member must know how to collaborate with their colleagues. In this paper, we use the combination of the Belbin roles and the social network analysis approach to find the possible members of a team. We present a case study based on an undergraduate course in computer engineering, we apply the Belbin test to each student, and each student expresses his preferences to work with his classmates. With this data, similarity patterns were searched within a social network using network analysis algorithms. We compare the results of the network analysis with the groups formed by a teacher. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of project teams, from the proposed approach.

使用Belbin角色类型和社会网络分析方法构建团队
与团队组建相关的问题在许多行业都很常见,包括教育、体育和一般商业。对于团队领导来说,团队成员的选择可能是一个关键的挑战,因为创建一个平衡的生产单位是非常复杂的。随着员工数量的增长,构建接近最优的团队是不可能手工实现的。个人的基本技能之一是在团队中工作的能力,这在工程工作组中显得更加重要,因为每个成员都必须知道如何与同事合作。在本文中,我们使用Belbin角色和社会网络分析法相结合的方法来寻找团队的可能成员。我们提出了一个基于计算机工程本科课程的案例研究,我们将Belbin测试应用于每个学生,每个学生都表达了他对与同学合作的偏好。有了这些数据,使用网络分析算法在社交网络中搜索相似模式。我们将网络分析的结果与教师组成的小组进行比较。最后,我们讨论了项目团队的优点和缺点,从建议的方法。
