Enrolling work groups for study on team performance

CU Boulder is working with the University of California Irvine and the University of Notre Dame to understand what leads to effective, high-performing teams in the modern, digital age. 

Eligibility criteria

• You are a member of a team or work group with size between 2 and 5 people (by team, we refer to a group of work colleagues with whom you closely interact on a specific project, or set of projects). Can be a work group at CU but is not required.
• For teams or work groups with size of at least 3, the majority of your team (at least 3 members) must enroll.
• You spend at least 10 hours/week with your team.
• You have an iPhone running at least iOS 13 or an Android phone running at least v7.1.2.

What does participation entail?

• No in-person visits, everything is done remotely.
• Wear a fitness tracker (provided by us) as you go about your daily life that will measure your stress-related physiological responses.
• Place one small Bluetooth beacon near your work space and run a background app on your phone, which will be used to track whether or not you are at your workspace (it will not track your exact position). Both the wearable and the beacon will be mailed to you.
• Install a survey app and complete a 2–3 minute survey on the app each workday (Monday through Friday) for a 10-week period.
• Complete a 20–30 minute survey at the beginning and at the end of the study.
• Participate in a 15–30 minute interview during the study (conducted remotely) that will help us understand team success factors.
