Problem SpaceUTA

Problem Significance No consensus on how workload,

much less team workload, should be characterized and operationalized

No clear theoretical framework leading to a satisfactory operationalization of the construct

No validated subjective workload measures for teams

Team Workload Limitations · Omit the critical steps of item

development· Limited studies at the team-level· Little understanding regarding

individual, contextual, and team-level antecedents· No comprehensive theoretical model· Lack of validity· Limited applicability · Flawed assumptions regarding team

member awareness of other team members’ workload

Unified Theoretical Approach

• Existing Workload Frameworks are Insufficient

• MRT is cognitive-centric• How to account for full coverage

of individual and team workload-related factors?

• Affective, Behavioral, Cognitive, and Team + Theoretical Framework

• Ensures full coverage of individual and team workload spectrum

• Ensures proper construct classification under the ABC+ framework

SUMMARY OF TEAM WORKLOAD FACTORS IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE

FACTORInability to planLack of communicationStress

Lack of communication YES 4 Your team's Lack of communication has a high impact on performance, and it can be improved with training. To improve this factor's impact you must reduce the team workload related to its 4 bottleneck(s)

Stress YES 4 Your team's Stress has a high impact on performance, and it can be improved with training. To improve this factor's impact you must reduce the team workload related to its 4 bottleneck(s)

FACTOR TRAINABLE BOTTLENECKS DIAGNOSISInability to plan YES 5 Your team's Inability to plan has a high impact on performance, and it can be improved with training. To

improve this factor's impact you must reduce the team workload related to its 5 bottleneck(s)

DIAGNOSISA high index on environmental constraints will typically indicate issues with weather, terrain, visibility, and noise. Some aspects of environmental constraints can be mediated when training under the same environmental circumstancesPoor communication devices indicates that the communication system(s) used is(are) not ideal. Situation awareness and shared situation awareness training can improve communications. Litany training is also advisableResource limitations indicate that team members have limited supplies, gear items, or other task-critical items. This may be an indication that team members are not managing resource well, or that the mission exceeds resource availability
