The effects of task complexity and time pressure upon team productivity

Abstract

Using 72 college students as Ss, team productivity was studied under a contract with the Office of Naval Research. 24 3-man teams performed assembly tasks under 2 levels of difficulty and 3 levels of time pressure. The task should be complex enough to reduce boredom but not exceed a moderate acceleration of time pressure. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
