ABSTRACT

The present study examines whether individual ambidexterity affects students’ team ambidexterity. In addition, the moderating role of collaborative behaviour and international experience is examined in the relationship between individual and team ambidexterity. Companies need ambidextrous teams and, therefore, student training becomes fundamental to develop them for the future. Our research understands ambidexterity as a behavioural capability, and it focuses on university students at individual level and groups of students at team level as our target audience. A sample of 168 students on management degrees at Spanish universities was used to test the proposed model. Individual ambidexterity was seen to have a positive effect on team ambidexterity, and both collaborative behaviour and international experience increased the effect of individual ambidexterity on group ambidexterity. This suggests that universities and business schools can play an important role in developing ambidexterity, creating a context in which teams develop ambidextrous capabilities.

摘要

本研究考察了个人双元性是否会影响学生的团队双元性。此外，协作行为和国际经验的调节作用在个人和团队双元性之间的关系中得到检验。公司需要灵巧的团队，因此，学生培训成为培养他们未来的基础。我们的研究将双元性理解为一种行为能力，并将个体层面的大学生和团队层面的学生群体作为我们的目标受众。西班牙大学管理学位的 168 名学生样本被用来测试所提出的模型。个人双元性被认为对团队双元性有积极影响，协作行为和国际经验都增加了个体双元性对群体双元性的影响。这表明大学和商学院可以在培养双元性方面发挥重要作用，创造团队发展双元性能力的环境。
