The main purpose of this study is to determine the relation between team training components and team performance, with the intention of filling the gap that presently exists in the team training research and the given guidance to team training practitioners on how to effectively use their oftentimes limited resources to have the maximum impact on team performance effectiveness. Results were mostly inconclusive, due to the limitations of the research. However, the researcher discovered a significant relationship between team training content and team training strategies with team performance effectiveness. Also, some interesting results were found in relation to individual components of training contents (technical skills, problem-solving skills, and group meeting skills) which significantly influenced to team performance effectiveness. Furthermore, individual components of training strategies (informal learning, high quality training, and ongoing training) were found as top three components that influence team performance effectiveness. Unfortunately, the scope of this research prevented results decisive enough to be comprehensive for team training practitioners. However, the research provided a better understanding in the relation between team training and team performance. Thus, it is emphasized that there is still a need to conduct additional researchers to filling the gap has not being solved by the current study. In the last chapter, some recommendations were provided for future use to any researcher enhancing this academic field.
