Adaptive team coordination is a central topic in the team dynamics literature. Most team adaptation research to date addresses team responses to demands for flexibility triggered by dynamic external forces. Little explicit attention has been paid to demands for stability created by continued pressures on efficiency and control. To capture this dual nature of adaptive coordination, we propose to characterize adaptation triggers in terms of stability and flexibility demands and suggest four modes of adaptive coordination that enable teams to adequately balance these demands. Grounded in team as well as organizational literatures, we explicate the specific patterns of coordination mechanisms comprising each mode of coordination, termed experiential, exploitative, exploratory, and ambidextrous coordination. The new insights offered into team adaptive coordination can spur research that further integrates team and organizational perspectives on adaptation processes.

团队中自适应协调的双重性质

团队动态适应性是团队动力学文献中的中心主题。迄今为止，大多数团队适应性研究都是针对团队对动态外力触发的灵活性需求的回应。对效率和控制的持续压力所产生的对稳定性的要求几乎没有明确注意。为了捕获自适应协调的这种双重性质，我们建议根据稳定性和灵活性需求来描述自适应触发因素，并提出四种自适应协调模式，使团队能够充分平衡这些需求。在团队和组织文献的基础上，我们阐述了协调机制的具体模式，其中包括每种协调模式，分别称为体验式，开发性，探索性和灵巧的协调。
