The Relationship of Forming Stage of Project Teams, the Roles of Team Members and the Perception of Teams

This paper attempts to explore the relationships of team members’ roles, the perceptions of team members, and the performance of project team over different team forming stages. Significant relationships were found among these.

The results indicate that team members’ roles (process-oriented / task-oriented) may affect team members’ perception and project team performance. One may conclude from the current findings that project team performance and team members’ perceptions can be improved through different roles’ playing of team members over different team forming stages.
