Abstract

Much research has been done into the role of different team members through team problem-solving processes, though less research has been done into an optimal combination of members and the influence of their dominance on the team's performance. Therefore, in this paper it is addressed what is the most effective combination of team members and whether dominance can increase team performance. For this purpose, an adaptive computational network model has been designed for a problem-solving team process. Different scenarios were simulated including a respectively homogeneous team and the representation of different dominant roles carried out by several team members. From these simulations, it can be concluded that heterogeneous teams perform better than homogeneous teams. Additionally, this study's results showed that dominance can have both negative and positive effects on team performance. Moreover, the results suggest that in particular, only dominance by the procedural facilitator-role delivers these positive effects.
