Abstract :
This paper analyzes the importance and necessity of synergistic work of R&D teams, establishes incentive factors, mutual factors and supporting factors in the process of synergistic work and the structural equation model of relations among various R&D team atmospheres. On the basis of exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and full structure equation model analysis, the paper concludes: (1) there is a positive correlation between incentive factors and atmosphere factors during the process of synergistic work of a R&D team and the growth of R&D team; (2) mutual factors in this process are positively associated with the formation of R&D team atmospheres while correlation between supporting factors and the formation is not so significant, both kinds of factors together forming an indirect relation to this formation.
