Abstract

This paper aims to study the influence of project managers’ signature strengths on project team resilience.,The authors performed a qualitative multiple case study design to explore the research question. Open-ended interviews, site visits, observations and documents were the data sources. The authors used character strengths and virtues within positive psychology as a theoretical framework in the data analysis.,The main finding of this study is that the project manager’s use of signature strengths influences the resilience of the project team. The cross-case analysis revealed four signature strengths – leadership, open-mindedness, persistence and hope – that influenced team resilience in all three studied cases.,Future research should investigate other organizations, types of projects and countries so that the findings may be generalized.,This paper provides managers and teams with useful insights on signature strengths and team resilience. The findings stress the importance of managers being aware of their signature strengths and knowing how to use them. As the working situation today is often more complex, uncertain and difficult than ever, it is important to have resilient managers and teams.,This study contributes to increased knowledge on signature strengths and team resilience.

项目经理签名优势对项目团队弹性的影响研究
本文旨在研究项目经理签名优势对项目团队弹性的影响。作者进行了定性的多案例研究设计来探讨研究问题。开放式访谈、实地考察、观察和文件是数据来源。作者将积极心理学中的性格优势和美德作为数据分析的理论框架。本研究的主要发现是项目经理对签名优势的使用影响了项目团队的弹性。跨案例分析揭示了四个标志性优势——领导力、开放性、毅力和希望——在所有三个研究案例中都影响了团队的弹性。今后的研究应调查其他组织、项目类型和国家,以便研究结果可以普遍化。本文为管理者和团队提供了关于签名优势和团队弹性的有用见解。研究结果强调了管理者意识到自己的标志性优势并知道如何利用它们的重要性。由于当今的工作环境往往比以往任何时候都更加复杂、不确定和困难,因此拥有有弹性的管理者和团队非常重要。本研究有助于增加对签名优势和团队弹性的认识。

期刊介绍: This international journal contributes to the successful implementation and development of work teams and team-based organizations by providing a forum for sharing experience and learning to stimulate thought and transfer of ideas. It seeks to bridge the gap between research and practice by publishing articles where the claims are evidence-based and the conclusions have practical value. Effective teams form the heart of every successful organization. But team management is one of the hardest challenges faced by managers.
