Purpose: Temporary teams are created to perform a specific task, e.g., to implement a project or solve a problem. They are dissolved when the goal is achieved or the set time has elapsed. The study's primary purpose was to identify the most critical challenges managers should pay attention to manage temporary teams effectively and fairly. Design/methodology/approach: The study covered 110 managers from medium and large enterprises - all having practical experience in the functioning of temporary teams. The study adopted a modified Colquitt scale and used the importance-performance analysis technique. Findings: Factors influencing the sense of fair treatment among participants of this type of team were identified. Experienced managers assessed: the impact of each of these factors on the success of the temporary team and the degree of difficulty involved in providing each of these factors. On this basis, eight challenges for managers have been identified, i.e. factors which, on the one hand, are very important and, on the other hand, difficult to ensure. Research limitations/implications: The potential limitation of the study concerns the fact that it covers enterprises from the high-tech industry. Employees of public organizations or other industries may perceive justice differently. The research considered two variables that may affect the success of temporary teams' work. A different type and/or a more significant number of variables may contribute to a better understanding of this issue and the holistic approach. Elements related to relations, as well as ethical and moral issues, are worth paying attention to. It seems that the last ones belong to the commonly emphasized matters; hence they can be perceived as functioning, obligatory, and as relating somewhat to the individual leaders-team members relations, while those seen as more difficult as relating to relations within the group or between the leaders and the whole group. Originality/value: We see value in relating the issue of equity to interim teams and identifying challenges to its application by managers.

Purpose: The paper aims to assess difficulties in ensuring justice in temporary teams. Three research questions were asked: do managers think that ensuring justice in temporary teams is difficult?; which determinants of a sense of justice in temporary teams do managers consider the most difficult/easiest?; is the degree of difficulty associated with ensuring each of the four types of justice in the work of the temporary team the same? Design/methodology/approach: The survey was carried out in June and July of 2021. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the statistical significance of differences in the difficulty level in ensuring justice in temporary teams. Findings: Managers ranked distributive justice as the most difficult to provide, followed by procedural justice, informational justice and interpersonal justice, respectively. Respondents ranked 4 factors as the most difficult to provide: the information needed for the work of the temporary team is provided just in time; each member of the temporary team is appreciated (tangibly and intangibly) according to their contribution to the team, the task team (as a whole) is appreciated, tangibly and intangibly, according to the effort put into the task and a temporary team leader will customize communication to suit the individual needs of members of the temporary team. Research limitations/implications: The first limitation is related to the research sample. Entities from a few selected industries were included. The second limitation is related to the fact that temporary teams differ, and sometimes these differences are significant. Another limitation is the composition of the research group. It included managers. In order to fully recognize the situation, it would be necessary to know the opinions of other employees. Practical implications: The results of the research may be helpful for managers in various types of organizations. They allow for a better understanding of temporary teams' regulations. In addition, they indicate those issues that should be given special attention in order to manage such teams reasonably. Originality/value: Although the topic of teamwork appears in academic publications, only a few relate justice in temporary work teams. This paper deals with this topic and focuses on difficulties with fair team management.
