Abstract
This study investigated the effect of cognitive styles and task complexity on teamwork. The findings of this study indicated a significant effect of cognitive styles on initial team performance. A moderately complex task team outperformed a complex task team in the final performance. The study revealed that a process variable—conflict management behaviors in particular—played a role in moderating the effect of input variables. With consideration of the wide application of teamwork activities in an online environment, the implication of this study suggests that the effects of input and process variables on teamwork can be varied by time duration and thus proper adaptation along with good timing should be carefully considered for effective online collaborative learning.
