Popis: Construction industry is characterized by project-based production, both in the design as well as in the building construction segment. As a consequence, this capital-intensive industry is highly dependant on people, more specifically on work groups' effectiveness. Generally, many scholars investigated characteristics of teams and team members in relation to work group effectiveness. However, it is widely appreciated that these issues are field specific and more over that they change over time. Since there have been no recent studies regarding work group effectiveness in construction industry in Croatia, this paper aims to fill that knowledge gap. After providing an insight into relevant literature review, results of a case study conducted in small and medium size construction companies shall be presented. Results refer to relation between work group characteristics and effectiveness. As such, they provide guidance to both managerial decisions and future academic researchers.
