Progress in Group Faultline Measurement:A Review

群体断裂带是团队非正式组织的重要驱动力,而断裂带的测度方法作为该领域研究的重要基础,有助于揭示企业中的团队结构和团队行为。关于群体断裂带测度方法的研究主要集中在指标开发层面,鲜有研究关注不同断裂带测度方法的分类比较。基于此,本文首先系统梳理了群体断裂带测度方法及其应用研究方面的进展;进而,从数据处理、子组结构及精确度检验三个方面对Fau、Subgroup Strength、FLS、PMD_(cat)、Fau×D_e、F_k、LCCA、和ASW等八种断裂带测度方法进行综合比较,并用实证数据加以验证;最后,从群体断裂带测度方法的改进及应用方面进行展望。本文为未来相关领域学者提供群体断裂带测度方法的依据,有助于深化断裂带测度方法的应用研究,对断裂带领域内的理论研究和实践发展能起到重要的桥接作用。

The group faultline is an important driving force of team informal organization,as an important breakthrough in this field,the measurement method of faultline is helpful to reveal team structure and team behavior in enterprises.The research on the measurement method of group faultline mainly focuses on the level of index development,few studies have paid attention to the classification comparison.International scholars pay great attention to the research field of group fault zones,mainly focusing on the development of indicators.The reason why new measurement methods are constantly proposed is that some of the methods previously proposed are limited in the scope of use,which is insufficient to reflect the true connotation of group fault zones and hinders the progress of current research.Although some domestic scholars have begun to pay attention to this field,due to the limitations of measurement methods,it has certain technical content and difficulty,which hinders further in-depth research.Therefore,to enter this field,the conquest of method measurement is the first step.Based on the literature review,our study firstly systematizes the measurement method of group faultline and its application.Secondly,compare the advantages and disadvantages of eight group faultline measurement methods from data processing,subgroup structure and accuracy testing,and then prove it empirically,the eight methods are:Fau、Subgroup Strength、FLS、PMD cat、Fau×D e、F k、LCCA and ASW.Finally,the improvement and application of measurement method of group faultline are discussed.In the classification of the fault zone measure fitting,we will be calculated data availability,whether of numeric variables,can handle both continuous variables and classification,can identify two or more subgroups,can determine the number of subgroups,whether can reveal subgroups subordinate relations,keen awareness population changes affect the degree of fracture,whether the data have better tolerance,whether can be adjusted to test the result of the fault zone measured.The order of the nine indicators was disordered,and the meaning of each indicator was marked.The experts,professors,doctoral students and postgraduates in this field were asked to summarize and classify by questionnaires,and the classification results were consistent with this paper.The results of empirical data verification show that before selecting the appropriate method,researchers should first determine whether the number of fractured subgroups is greater than 2,and whether the demographic attribute variables are continuous(age,tenure)or categorical(gender,race).Secondly,whether the subgroup structure can be identified,such as the specific determination of member membership and the corresponding number of subgroups,finally,the performance of the method in the accuracy test is investigated.If the population is small,it is unlikely to have more than two subgroups,and the attribute contains both continuous variables and classification variables,then researchers can choose between Fau,Fau×D e,Subgroup Strength,F k and ASW methods.If the data has the potential for more than two groups of people,researchers also need to focus on the number and structure of subgroups.If this information is not needed and all attributes are categorized,FLS and PMD cat metrics are available.If it is required to identify two or more subgroups,process continuous and classified variables at the same time,reveal subgroup structure and require high accuracy test of the method,then only the ASW index can meet the above conditions simultaneously.Therefore,scholars can choose the appropriate fault zone measurement method according to the research needs and conditions.Generally speaking,our study provides a basis for the methods of group faultline,it is helpful to deepen the application research of faultline measurement methods.It can play an important bridging role in the theoretical research and practical development of group faultline.This paper is helpful for further research on the application type of group-fault zone in China.The future research can be prospected from three aspects:population fault zone measurement method,population fault zone research field and sample acquisition of population fault zone.In terms of fault zone measurement methods,existing methods can be further optimized or new measurement indexes can be developed by using new technologies.In the field of fault zone research,we can start from the micro organizational level and macro corporate governance level and focus on the fault zone of mixed ownership enterprises.In the aspect of fault zone sample acquisition,large sample data can be collected or acquired in the form of experiments by means of cross-disciplines.
