Föreliggande studie hade syftet att undersöka sambandet mellan effektivitet och teamstruktur/-organisation samt sambandet mellan effektivitet och ledarkaraktäristika. Huvudhypotesen var att teamstruk-tur/organisation har störst betydelse för effektiviteten, sex underhypoteser skapades. Data samlades in via en enkät som besvarades av 91 personer i tvärprofessionella team inom välfärdsorganisationer. Hypoteserna prövades genom frekvens-, korrelations-, varians- samt multipel regressionsanalys. Följande signifikanta resultat erhölls: effektiviteten upplevs högre i (1) roll-kompletterande än rolldifferentierade team, (2) team som var kongruenta med sin idealtyp, (3) team som har en högre grad av konsensusbeslut och (4) team där aktivitetsgraden från teamledaren var hög oavsett om ledarstilen var produktions-, relations- eller förändringsorienterad.
