Based on the motivated information processing in groups model, we predicted that low personal need for structure (PNS) among team members helps team dynamic decisionmaking performance on highly ambiguous tasks, but hurts performance on tasks low in ambiguity. In a laboratory experiment involving 22 groups of army cadets performing a command-and-control task, we measured PNS and manipulated informational ambiguity. We found that team PNS was negatively related to team performance when tasks were high in ambiguity and positively related to performance when tasks were less ambiguous. This effect was mediated by information processing and behavioral coordination.

在动态团队决策中需要将结构作为资产和负债。

基于群体模型中的动机信息处理，我们预测团队成员之间对结构的低个人需求 (PNS) 有助于团队在高度模糊的任务上的动态决策性能，但会损害低模糊度任务的性能。在一项涉及 22 组陆军学员执行指挥和控制任务的实验室实验中，我们测量了 PNS 并操纵了信息歧义。我们发现，当任务高度模糊时，团队 PNS 与团队绩效负相关，而当任务不那么模糊时，团队 PNS 与团队绩效正相关。这种影响是由信息处理和行为协调介导的。
