Team Flow: From Concept to Application

Herwith a link to the thesis in which team flow is conceptualized and scientifically tested in practice.

Research has shown that the psychological state of flow provides great benefits to people in many aspects of life, including work environments. So far, however, flow has been studied primarily at the individual level within work contexts, while complex tasks in professional organizations are often performed by teams. Studies of “team flow” are relatively scarce. Despite the recognized potential of optimal experiences (flow) to promote effectiveness, productivity, performance, skills and well-being, little research has been done on how teams can reap the benefits of flow, especially in the workplace.

How large can a team be?

Why do some teams perform great, while others get stuck in mediocrity? In the AD article by neuroscientist Chantal van der Leest, we dive into fascinating group phenomena such as social loafing and the Ringelmann effect: the more people in a team, the less everyone does. What makes a team really effective? And why is a team of five often better than one of thirty? With insights from psychology, practical experience with organizations such as Buurtzorg, and tips for better cooperation, this article is a must-read for anyone working in or with teams. Discover how to recognize and break through group behavior.
