RESUMO

The purpose of this research is to identify the characteristics of team work in innovative organizations. In order to accomplish this purpose, a literature review about teams, organizational design for innovation and teams in innovative environments was developed, aiming at identifying the main characteristics of team work according to current theory. The empirical research was based on this literature review and was developed in three phases, combining both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study was developed at Embrapa (Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation), a notably innovative Brazilian organization. During the quantitative phase a survey was conducted with Embrapas forty-seven units and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and factor analysis, providing elements for the multiple case studies in four units. Through the analysis of both quantitative and qualitative results, it was possible to confirm the presence of cohesion; mutual adjustment; clarity and acceptance of teams objectives by all members; communication; and multidisciplinary teams. On the other hand, it was not possible to confirm aspects related to the practices of remuneration and reward; and team size and number of members, as predicted in the literature review.
