Navigating Team Membership Transitions Together: Implications of Team Configurations and Time

Using sport as a research context, we explored how team members collectively experience team membership transitions. We employed focus group interviewing with 27 university-level athletes competing in both cross country and track and field. Our findings provide insight into the configurational and temporal aspects influencing faultline-divided team functioning across contexts.

Abstract

Using sport as a research context, we explored how team members collectively experience team membership transitions. We employed focus group interviewing with 27 university-level athletes competing in both cross country and track and field. Our findings provide insight into the configurational and temporal aspects influencing faultline-divided team functioning across contexts.
