quantitative data.Concurrently, qualitative data was thematically analyzed to gain insights into usage andperceptions surrounding AI.Results: The study revealed a growing trend among project management professionals inleveraging AI tools for a variety of tasks, including project planning, task assignment, tracking,and crafting emails, reports, and presentations. A strong correlation was observed betweenfamiliarity with ChatGPT and its likely usage in project management tasks. While someparticipants found AI tools convenient and efficient, they were frustrated with potentialinaccuracies and the need for specific input prompts. Overall, industry professionalsdemonstrated the usage of AI in project management, with a notable emphasis on taskautomation

, and Recognition (R3).The Center’s mission is to recruit diverse and talented students, provide evidence-basedprogramming for retention, and celebrate students’ success by recognizing their hard work andaccomplishments. This mission is tied to the state’s mandate to increase enrollment in highereducation [7] and to boost STEM education to meet the growing STEM workforce needs [8].Tennessee Tech University’s strategic plan to increase freshmen-to-sophomore retention rates to82% and to reach a 50% 4-year graduation rate by 2025 [9] is also reflected in the Center’smission.The CoE SSC activities and outcomes have been through substantial growth in the past threeyears, the staff have been intensifying recruitment efforts, developing and

HEI contexts is the one previously published as Work-in-process19.Methodology The SLR methodology used for this study considers the same used previously19, whichwas developed by Tranfield and colleagues in 20031. This methodology considers three differentstages with multiple phases on each. First, planning the review, where the main goal is toidentify the need for a review, the respective preparation, and the development of the reviewprotocol. The second stage of conducting a review considers the identification of research,selection of studies, their quality assessment, data extraction, and progress monitoring, to endwith the data synthesis. Finally, the third stage considers the report and recommendations, andgetting evidence into

isassociated with the “Driving Onward” function, while intuition contradicts sensing in this role.Similarly, the “Planning Ahead” role aligns with the judging function, while the perceivingfunction opposes it. However, introversion, feeling, and thinking do not exhibit explicitassociations with specific roles, suggesting the complexity of team personality dynamics.Despite these insights, there remains a lack of understanding of the direct influence of teampersonality on effectiveness and success.This study attempts to provide evidence by investigating the relationship between teampersonalities and performance within an interdisciplinary research group at a historically blackcollege and university (HBCU). This group, operational for over four years
