Compatibility of Small Team Personalities in Computer-Based Tasks
There are works that study personality and task performance but there are no (or very few works) that study the balancing of personalities within teams that work together towards a common goal in computer-based tasks. This study investigates how personality compatibility in collaborative tasks affec...

The present work showed the qualitative differences between cooperative tasks and revealed the challenges of studying further team compatibility for different tasks.https://www.mdpi.com/2078-1547/10/1/29personality-based balancingteam formationteam compatibility |
