Level of Similarity of Team Management with the Use of System of Organizational Terms

This paper aims at estimating a level of similarity in team management in a given project in two dimensions of managerial actions: types of management techniques used by managers and their sequence. In management studies, there is extensive research on management styles, management skills, and management roles. Despite this, they are still not sufficient to estimate the similarity of team management. To solve the problem of ambiguity of these terms, more efficient methodology of managerial work was introduced. This methodology is called the system of organizational terms, and it allows nonparticipating observations of team managers and their members by online management tools, which record human actions. The system was used in the research of five teams of students, who were given the same project to conduct for one month. Their teamwork was recorded by online management tools in content and time domains; however, in this paper, a level of team management similarity is considered only in the field of the time domain. The main conclusion from the research is that there are no similarities in team management done by the managers.
