Diminishing returns of task-oriented interaction in digitally-mediated dynamic teams: evidence from amateur sports organizing by Jing Yang, Tang Yao, Jun Wang

“…Although extant research has emphasized task-oriented processes in teams, its focus on dynamic teams in digital environments remains limited, particularly regarding non-linear effects. Integrating attention capacity theory and activation theory, this study proposes a curvilinear (inverted-U) relationship between task-oriented interaction and team organizing efficiency in digitally-mediated teams. …”
