Abstract
This article tested a moderated mediation process to explain the relationships between diversity-based predictors with team learning via shared leadership. Based on data from 183 members of 27 intraorganizational projects teams embedded in a large Danish company as the permanent organization, we show the varying effects of functional and hierarchical power diversity on shared leadership, respectively moderated by transactive memory systems within project teams and the empowering leadership in the permanent organization. Additionally, the psychological safety within the permanent organization strengthens the positive relationship between shared leadership and team learning within project teams. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management.
Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise.
PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
