项目摘要

Diversity can yield measurable benefits for teams and organizations. Prior research shows that functional diversity––the degree to which team members differ in terms of their experience or background––can positively influence team functioning through the increase of information, skills, ability, and knowledge that diversity may bring. Though emerging societal norms advocate diversity and inclusion, hardwired tendencies create an attraction to people who are similar and familiar. This poses a challenge to organizations seeking to leverage the benefits of diversity in teams. Can technologies help organizations and their co-workers assemble more diverse teams? This Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant (DDRIG) seeks to understand how augmented intelligence technologies can facilitate people to assemble in functional diverse teams. The findings and applications of this research will contribute to stakeholder communities that are invested in increasing diversity in teams. The research will also deliver a team recommender system to the public for enabling participants to assemble their own teams using augmented intelligence, and enabling participants to discuss and learn about diversity.This research involves a program of laboratory experiments controlling the presence and absence of human agency and augmented intelligence when individuals are assembling teams. The project will assess the formation processes of teams assembled (a) randomly, (b) by participants, and (c) by participants using augmented intelligence. The research will examine the three team formation conditions and analyze participants’ search queries, decisions to invite or accept invitations from potential teammates, their resulting teams’ composition, and performance. The project will also study their interaction processes and outcomes after the team is formed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

先前的研究表明，功能多样性（团队成员在经验或背景方面的差异程度）可以通过增加信息、技能、能力和能力对团队运作产生积极影响。尽管新兴的社会规范提倡多样性和包容性，但固有的倾向对相似和熟悉的人产生了吸引力，这对寻求利用团队多样性的好处的组织提出了挑战。同事组建更多元化的团队？这项博士论文研究改进补助金 (DDRIG) 旨在了解增强智能技术如何促进人们组建功能多样化的团队。这项研究的发现和应用将为投资于增加团队多样性的利益相关者社区做出贡献。团队推荐系统向公众开放，使参与者能够使用增强智能组建自己的团队，并使参与者能够讨论和了解多样性。这项研究涉及一个实验室实验计划，控制当个人该项目将评估（a）随机、（b）参与者和（c）参与者使用增强智能组建的团队的形成过程。该研究将检查三种团队形成条件并分析参与者的搜索查询。邀请或接受潜在队友邀请的决定、由此产生的团队组成和绩效。该项目还将研究团队组建后的互动过程和结果。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持。利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准。
