Exploration of the Relationship among Cohesion, Knowledge Sharing, and Team Performance of Design Students during Graduation Project
Abstract:
College students participating in a graduation project inevitably encounter teamwork communication problems. Their performance depends on good team interaction, which can be promoted by knowledge sharing among team members. Hence, this study focused on exploring the relationship among cohesion, knowledge sharing, and team performance regarding their influence on student teams. A questionnaire survey investigated 92 college design students. Analytical results showed that knowledge sharing in teams with greater cohesion positively influenced students’ team performance, which was particularly evident in the three winning teams. More frequent but shorter team meetings could improve the project production’s efficiency.
