Teamflow in product development teams: designing resilient engineering environments
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a controlled laboratory study investigating how environmental factors influence team resilience and teamflow in product development contexts. It examines which factors shape teams’ adaptive responses and collective engagement. In the study, one factor per People–Organization–Technology dimension was systematically manipulated: member unavailability, time autonomy, and material quality. Results reveal distinct effects on performance and collaborative dynamics, providing empirical foundations for designing resilient team environments in engineering work.
