The report views the Skills Team’s group performance by
using an inputs-processes-outputs (I-P-O) model [9]. Themodel looks at a team as it moves through three stages: Inputs,
which are the initial contributions, such as team design and
construction. The context, or environment, in which teams
may operate also contribute to team inputs [16]. Processes
represent the ongoing interaction between group members. It
refers to the interdependent actions carried out by members,
which transforms work inputs to outputs. Process actions can
be undertaken via cognitive, verbal, or behavioural activities
towards attaining a collective goal [12]. A team’s outputs refer
to the consequences of a group’s collaboration as they relate to
task and non-task items. Outputs are associated with the
effectiveness of a virtual team and encompass performance,
satisfaction, work attitudes and the behavioural manifestation
of members of a team [19].
