ANALYZING TEAM PERFORMANCE - IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

The effect of team-member experience was examined in relation to perce ptions of importance of teamwork behaviors during an analysis of team performance. Importance ratings were collected from military aircrews (i.e., two-member teams) from three distinct types of aircraft. Result s indicated that when assessing team behavior importance, less experie nced team members weighted difficulty of performing team behaviors mor e heavily, whereas more experienced team members weighted time spent p erforming team behaviors more heavily. Implications for analyzing team performance, with respect to the process of conducting such analyses and the type of information collected, are discussed.
