Belbin’s team roles and their performance in road design courses: a study with undergraduate and postgraduates students

Abstract

This article analyzes the relationship between the Belbin’s team roles and their performance in road design courses. Data were collected from four Civil Engineering groups (undergraduate and postgraduates students) divided into 25 teams. As a result, a consistent relationship was not found between the team balance and its performance in all teams. However, the three most influential roles in performance were identified, but this was only relevant to postgraduate students.
