| الوصف: | Within an increasingly digitalized organizational landscape, this research delves into the dynamics of decentralized collaboration, contrasting it with traditional collaboration models. An effective capturing of high-level collaborations (beyond direct massages) is introduced as the network construction methodology including both temporal and content dimensions of user collaborations - an Alternating Timed Interaction (ATI) metric as the first aspect, and a quantitative strategy of thematic similarity as the second aspect. This study validates three hypotheses that collectively underscore the complexities of digital team dynamics within sociotechnical systems: Firstly, it establishes the significant influence of problem context on team structures in work environments, emphasizing the need to consider the specific nature of tasks in analyzing collaborative dynamics. Secondly, the study reveals specific evolving patterns of team structures on digital platforms concerning team size and artifact maturity. Lastly, it identifies substantial differences in team structure patterns between digital platforms and traditional organizational settings, underscoring the unexplored nature of digital collaboration dynamics. The findings of this study are instrumental for organizations navigating the digital era, offering insights into effective knowledge sharing in the decentralized leadership of digital teams. By mapping out network structures and collaborative patterns, this study, with a focus on Wikipedia as a representative digital platform, paves the way for strategic interventions to optimize digital team dynamics and align them with broader organizational goals.
