“…Analogously, team structure also may be identified as salient in most team contexts. In terms of self-efficacy beliefs in team contexts, several researchers (Eby and Dobbins 1997;McClough and Rogelberg 2003;Haines and Taggar 2006;Staples and Webster 2007;Alavi and McCormick 2011) have focused on self-efficacy for teamwork, which refers to an '…individual's perceptions of his or her ability to perform generic teamwork behaviors' (Tasa et al 2007, p. 19). This construct is concerned with process aspects of teamwork, and has been found to relate to a range of teamwork behaviors, including cooperation (Eby and Dobbins 1997), conflict resolution, assuming leadership, and keeping on-task (Tasa et al 2007).…”

It is argued that whilst Social Cognitive Theory has universal application in work organizations, and human functioning generally, it should not be applied without taking account of the work context. Three broad contextual categories, conceptually distinct from general organizational contexts, are canvassed: individual, team and cultural. Specific sub-contexts are discussed, not with the view of providing an exhaustive typology, but rather to provide some examples from the very large number of contextual factors that could have been selected. It is concluded that investigation of contextual differences is likely to be a fruitful pursuit for future research into the application of Social Cognitive Theory in organizations.

In highly technical organizations, work is becoming increasingly distributed; requiring practicing engineers to master virtual collaboration skills while acquiring expertise in a range of collaboration technologies. Although there has been great emphasis on developing collaboration competencies in the engineering curriculum, empirical evidence of successful strategies for distributed team settings is scarce. As an attempt to fill this gap this study investigates the impact of a scalable intervention in developing virtual collaboration skills. The intervention, based on instructional scaffolds embedded with collaboration technologies, is aimed at supporting specific processes including planning, goal setting, clarifying goals and expectations, communication, coordination and progress monitoring. A quasi-experimental design was used to evaluate the impact of the intervention on student teamwork skills. Data from 278 graduate and undergraduate engineering students participating in virtual team projects was used in the analysis. Results from the analysis are presented suggesting a statistically significant impact of the intervention on self-management skills when comparing randomly assigned teams with and without the intervention. The intervention is designed to be scalable so that it can be embedded into existing project-based courses. Our findings have important implications for the development of teamwork skills in engineering courses and provide evidence of a successful strategy that can be integrated into the existing engineering curriculum.

Because of the global nature of the workforce, teams are becoming increasingly distributed and virtual. These teams typically use a variety of web-based information and communication technologies (ICT) to collaborate from remote locations. Although there has been increased emphasis on developing teamwork skills and abilities in engineering students through the use of collaborative projects, our understanding of successful strategies to enhance learning outcomes in these distributed settings is lacking. There has also been little emphasis on key processes for virtual collaboration such as development of shared team cognition, clarifying goals and expectations, using communication and collaboration technologies and communicating with diverse project stakeholders (internal and external customers). Instructional and procedural scaffolds embedded with information and communication technologies have great potential as suitable mediums for enhancing these processes. They can also support the development of critical teamwork skills. This paper describes and evaluates an evidence-based intervention aimed at supporting team processes in distributed student teams. The platform and associated activities and tools were focused on developing key team processes identified in the team effectiveness literature from industrial and organizational psychology.
