“…For example, Ramos-Villagrasa and colleagues (García-Izquierdo, Ramos-Villagrasa, Ramos-Villagrasa et al, 2012) found evidence of non-linear dynamics in the performance (measured objectively) of professional basketball players, at the individual as well as the team level. Moreover, they have found that teams which usually play the playoffs of the competitions are the teams which show a very specific kind of non-linear dynamics, called low-dimensional chaos.…”

“…Use methods that identify non-linear changes and non-linear relations among variables/phenomena (Beal & Ghandour, 2011;Navarro & Arrieta, 2010;Ramos-Villagrasa et al, 2012) Considering endogenous change Adopt a developmental perspective and acknowledge that change can occur due to endogenous processes (e.g., maturation) in absence of external influences (Levine & Moreland, 1994;Wheelan & McKeage, 1993). Applying complexity science Study chaotic dynamics over time, sudden and catastrophic changes, fractal structures, fuzzy boundaries or emergent processes in organizational phenomena (Ceja & Navarro, 2011;Guastello, 1987Guastello, , 2007; Navarro, Curioso, Gomes, Arrieta, & Cortés, 2013) about how to conduct a more time-sensitive study, it is more difficult to find organizations that allow longitudinal data-gathering, researchers lack the knowledge of techniques required for longitudinal data-analysis, and researchers are under pressure to conduct research and publish its outcomes in short periods of time (which favors short-term experiments or cross-sectional field studies).…”

a b s t r a c tAlthough dedicated to the study of processes in people and organizations, W&O Psychology has shown little sensitivity to the fact that processes happen in time and evolve over time. This paper describes how the field has become more aware of time, after an initial neglect of time, and is now engaged in developing theories and empirically investigating when things happen and how they change. We discuss proposals from Molenaar, Van de Ven, Roe, and colleagues to make our conceptual apparatus better suited to the study of temporal dynamics and to make research methods more sensitive to temporal issues, changing their focus on individual differences to within-person variations. We finish with a discussion of how taking time seriously may lead W&O Psychology to explore new frontiers and to enter new paths in the future which can lead to a better recognition of complexities in organizational behavior. © 2015 Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos de Madrid.

Tomarse en serio el tiempo: cambios en la praxis y en las perspectivas de la Psicología del Trabajo y de las OrganizacionesPalabras clave: Tiempo Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones Teoría organizativa Investigación organizacional Ciencia de la complejidad r e s u m e n Aunque se ocupa del estudio de los procesos en las personas y en las organizaciones, la Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones ha mostrado escasa sensibilidad hacia el hecho de que los procesos suceden en el tiempo y evolucionan a lo largo del mismo. Este trabajo describe cómo se ha tomado conciencia del tiempo en este campo después de un periodo inicial de ignorarlo, con una gran implicación actual en el desarrollo de teorías e investigación empírica sobre cuándo ocurren las cosas y cómo cambian. Se comentan las propuestas de Molenaar, Van de Ven, Roe y colaboradores dirigidas a adecuar mejor nuestro aparato conceptual al estudio de la dinámica temporal y a conseguir que los métodos de investigación sean más sensibles a los aspectos temporales, cambiando su enfoque desde las diferencias individuales a las variaciones intra-persona. Se concluye comentando que considerar en serio el tiempo puede hacer que la Psicología del Trabajo y de las Organizaciones explore nuevas fronteras y abra nuevas rutas en el futuro que conduzcan a un mejor reconocimiento de las complejidades del comportamiento organizativo.

“…In more complex cognitive tasks, such as operating an unmanned air vehicle (UAV; , teams coordinate to perform tasks that no individual could perform. There are many feats of team coordination, whether in laboratory tasks or naturalistic settings (e.g., playing basketball; Bourbousson, Poizat, Saury, & Seve, 2010;Ramos-Villagrasa, Navarro, & Garcia-Izquierdo, 2012), wherein team-coordination effects are observed.…”

When people coordinate as a team, they accomplish more than they would working alone. These team-coordination effects give new meaning to Aristotle's famous phrase, "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." In this article, I consider two central issues confronting team-coordination research: Do the causes of team coordination reside within individual minds or between them, and at what levels of analysis (e.g., physiological, cognitive) do team-coordination effects occur? These issues are viewed in light of specific lines of coordination research, and some features of a general theory of team coordination are offered.

“…Team sports possess all the marks of professional organisational settings (Ramos-Villagrasa, navarro, and García-Izquierdo 2012) and, in addition, open a window into the investigation of how team members fluctuate in investigate such temporal properties, the present research used regression-based analysis as the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average modelling (i.e. ARIMA).…”

Based on a diagnosis action research design, the present study assessed the fluctuations of the team experience of togetherness. Reported experiences of 12 basketball team members playing in the under-18 years old national championship were studied during a four-month training and competitive period. Time series analysis (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average procedures) served to describe temporal properties of the way in which the fluctuations of task-cohesion and shared understanding were step-by-step experienced over time, respectively. Correlations, running-correlations and cross-lagged correlations were used to describe the temporal links that governed the relationships between both phenomena. The results indicated that the task-cohesion dimensions differed mainly for shared understanding dynamics in that their time fluctuations were not embedded in external events, and that the variations in shared understanding tend to precede 'individual attractions to the task' variations with seven team practical sessions. This study argues for further investigation of how 'togetherness' is experienced alternatively as a feeling of cohesion or shared understanding. Practitioner Summary: The present action research study investigated the experience that the team members have to share information during practice, and the subsequent benefices on team cohesion. Results call for specific interventions that make team members accept the fluctuating nature of team phenomena, to help them maintaining their daily efforts.
