Abstract

We assess the relative usefulness of temporal leadership and initiating structure in predicting timely team project completion. Drawing on the functional approach to team leadership as well as the concept of team performance episodes, we hypothesize that two facets of temporal leadership, temporal planning at project initiation and temporal reminders midway through project execution, will be better predictors of timely project completion than will traditional task-oriented leadership in the form of initiating structure delivered at the same two project stages. Results from 62 application development project teams surveyed across the life of a project showed that the two facets of temporal leadership together accounted for 91.7% of the predicted variance in timely project completion, with temporal planning being more important. Initiating structure accounted for the remaining small and nonsignificant amount of the predicted variance. We conclude that temporal leadership is a new construct that is a highly useful approach to leader behavior in the context of teams working on time-limited projects.

时间领导和启动结构对及时完成项目的相对重要性
我们评估了时间领导和启动结构在预测团队项目及时完成方面的相对有用性。利用团队领导的功能方法以及团队绩效片段的概念,我们假设时间领导的两个方面,即项目启动时的时间计划和项目执行中途的时间提醒,将比传统的任务导向领导在相同的两个项目阶段以启动结构的形式交付更好地预测项目的及时完成。对62个应用程序开发项目团队在项目生命周期内的调查结果表明,时间领导的两个方面共同占及时完成项目的预测方差的91.7%,其中时间计划更重要。初始结构占剩余的小而不显著的预测方差。我们的结论是,时间领导是一个新的结构,是一个非常有用的方法,在团队在有限的时间项目工作的背景下的领导行为。
