Why Imperfect Team Management is Tolerable: An E-CARGO's Perspective

Team management, especially assignment, is important and challenging in governance, administration, and organizations. Managers try to use their wisdom, experience, and knowledge to make the managed team better. However, without effective tools, managers always make mistakes or make decisions with their bias, making the management imperfect. Many cases happen, i.e., that good intentions lead to bad consequences, and that official corruption cannot be extinguished. This paper explores the question of why people often tolerate imperfect management, drawing on the (Environments, Classes, Agents, Roles, Groups, and Objects) E-CARGO model to provide insights from a Group Role Assignment (GRA) perspective. In many organizational and social systems, individuals display resilience and adaptability to imperfect management. Using E-CARGO, we examine the factor of team performance that contributes to tolerance for management imperfections, mainly on role assignment. We use simulations to present that by simply accumulating the individual performance values to express team performance, imperfect assignment does not damage the optimized result much. This study uses a few management styles to simulate imperfect assignment, like, (WUWEIERZHI, i.e., rule by doing nothing), (ZEYOUSHANGGANG, i.e., select the best), and (SHIKEERZHI, i.e., know when to stop).
