Abstract
This article proposes a three-dimensional model for conceptualizing problems in the functioning of interdisciplinary teams. The three dimensions are (a) the team as a developing and changing entity, (b) the team as a set of subsystems, and (c) the team as a functioning unit. Each dimension is described and examples of team dysfunctions within each dimension are provided. Implications of the model for researchers and practitioners seeking to improve the quality of interdisciplinary team functioning are discussed.Keywords
