Study On Organization Of Innovative Research Team Of University And It's Impact Mechanism On Team's Performance

With the fast forward from "small science" era to the "big science" era, scientific research gradually has been changed from individual research to group research during the 20th century. Research team emerges as an innovative and efficient organization. Innovative Research Team of University, as a main force of scientific invention and technological innovation for a country, has become the most important force in establishing an innovative country, which has attracted concern among the domestic and foreign researchers. Based on multi-disciplinary theory and several different research methods, including empirical and normative analysis, qualitative and quantitative research, this study analyzed formation mechanism and team construction, organizational evolution mechanism, organizational network structure and its impact mechanism on team's performance, so as to enrich and deepen the theory system of innovative research team, give theoretical reference and decision-making guidance to the organization, construction and development of innovative research team. The main contents are as follows:(1 Comprehensively overviewed the domestic and international research literature, defined the concept of innovative research team of University, and then analyzed and discussed its main characteristics and types. As well as that, this study proposed seven organizational models of Innovative Research Team of University and revealed advantages and disadvantages for each model. Finally, connotation of Innovative Research Team's performance has been defined as well as the manifestations of performance.(2)Analyzed external and internal driving factors of the formation of University Innovative Research Team, and built one-shot game model, repeated game models and policy regulation game model to reveal the formation mechanism of University Innovative Research Team. Then it explained the internal formation Mechanism of University Innovative Research Team, and analyzed the role and strategies for administrate department. At the same time, put forward the elements and principles for construct University Innovative Research Team. And establish a process model to analysis the detailed procedure of University Innovative Research Team.(3)Established an entropy model, and put forward the index of evolution rate. According to the speed of the evolution, it made a quantitative definition for the four stages of research team, and analyzed the characteristics of the four stages in different life cycle. And introduced team evolution entropy to explain internal evolution mechanism of research team. At last, studied special forms in the process of evolution, including degradation, mutation, early death, premature and the long life cycle. (4)Using theory of social network, this study collected the data of organization network of the University Innovative Research Team through expert interviews and questionnaires. Based on typical case study, this study researched the advice network, emotional networks, cooperative networks and trust networks of the University Innovative Research Team, and analyzed the features of the network building, network structure and network relationship comparatively.(5)Set the research framework of impact mechanism model of the University Innovative Research Team from three major aspects, including organizational environment, organizational structure and organizational network, and put forward sixteen research hypothesis and conceptual models with reference of domestic and international research literature.(6)Made an empirical analysis to the impact mechanism model of University Innovative Research Team. On the basis of finding, comparing and modifying of measuring scale, the initial questionnaire has designed, and final questionnaire determined by the sample test. Large-scale survey research methods were used to collect relevant data, and on the foundation of data analysis and quality assessment, correlation analysis and path analysis model were used to give hypothesis testing and empirical analysis to the research assumptions and mechanism model. The results showed that the twelve proposed hypotheses were supported in total sixteen hypotheses with three were refused, one partially supported. There exist positive influence on team's performance, they are team resources, team goals, team support, team members' innovation abilities, team leadership, team stability, density of advice network, density of emotional network, density of the trust network. On the other hand, the subgroups and destructive conflict had a negative influence on team performance. Team size will have a positive impact on team's performance within a certain range, but once a certain critical value has been more than (6-10 members), the team size had a negative influence on team's performance. The positive influence of team atmosphere of innovation, teamwork constructive conflict and team heterogeneity were not confirmed. Based on the above conclusions, this study finally analyzed the impact mechanism on the team performance from organizational factors, and put forward strategies to enhance team performance.
