Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates how two team processes (team learning, team conflict) and two team emergent states (team trust and team psychological safety) combine to yield three team effectiveness dimensions: team performance, quality of the group experience and team viability. Eighty-two teams (353 team members and 82 team leaders) were surveyed. Using a configurational approach, different routes that lead to the same outcome were identified. Moreover, the results suggest that the conditions that lead to high levels of team effectiveness are not the mirror opposite of the conditions that lead to low levels. The findings emphasize the importance of monitoring the effectiveness of a team in its different components and reinforce the notion that cognitive trust is a core condition for team success. Additionally, it is shown that the importance of intragroup conflicts for team effectiveness is contingent on the presence of other processes and emergent states.
期刊介绍:
Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
