Hybrid teamwork, which describes any combination of one’s work time spent across organizational and other (typically domestic) work settings, has become a critical aspect of modern work environments. However, despite the rising prevalence and technological support for hybrid teamwork, there is limited understanding of its impact at the team level. Although we still lack research that addresses the dynamic geographic configurations inherent to hybrid teamwork, we believe that much of the extant literature on virtual teamwork can inform our understanding and guide future research. Accordingly, this paper aims to advance knowledge on hybrid teamwork by defining its unique characteristics and critically reviewing three broad classes of theory from the virtual teams literature and their implications for understanding hybrid teamwork. Based on both contributions and limitations of these three theory classes, we conclude this paper by mapping out pressing questions to guide future research.

This conceptualization describes how positive and negative mood states, information processing, cognitive processing strategies, and group interaction combine to influence group judgment and decision making. The crux of the conceptualization is a dominant cognitive processing strategy. Positive moods inform group members that the situation is benign and reinforce dominant cognitive processing strategies. Negative moods provide feedback that the situation is problematic, leading to inhibition or revision of dominant cognitive processing strategies. Moods achieve these impacts through their influences on the cognitive processes of attention, processing objectives, and cognitive representations. Group interaction also accentuates these cognitive processes and related strategies. This conceptualization is applied to understand mood influences on jury decision making, group social dilemmas, hidden profile tasks, group judgments of opinions, judgments with cognitive biases, and quantitative judgments. The discussion considers mood influences in other group judgment and decision making related phenomena of group brainstorming, intergroup negotiation, stress, and groupthink.

The papers in this Special Issue show that virtual teamwork is a complex phenomenon that depends on a multiplicity of team, task, and environmental factors. In this editorial, we begin with a short review of the main perspectives through which virtual teams have been studied. From there, we move to an overview of the papers in this Special Issue. To conclude, we discuss potential avenues for future research based on the collection of papers in this issue.

This study combined the dual perspectives of team interaction and decision-making stages. Based on 22,654 behavioral units from 20 four-person teams, we developed a team decision-making process model encompassing goal-driven patterns, information sharing, knowledge integration, and decision-making transition. Additionally, we found that high-performance teams engage more in exploratory discussions, timely summarization, and conflict coordination mechanisms, compared to low-performance teams. We summarize the specific interactions that are beneficial and harmful to decision-making performance. This study supplements previous research on team interaction during the decision-making stage and expands the nuanced understanding of how team interactions affect decision-making performance.

Norbert L. Kerr
In mediation analyses, several assumptions are routinely made. One such assumption is that the mediator and criterion variables are distinct, and not essentially the same variable with overlapping content. When this assumption is strongly violated, traditional mediation analysis is likely to falsely indicate that mediation has occurred. Spencer et al. refer to this as the “fourth drawback” of mediation analysis. It is argued here that this fourth drawback is not confined to cases of nearly complete overlap between mediator and criterion; mediation may often be falsely inferred when such overlap is partial. The results of a series of simulation studies are reported that corroborate this conclusion. Some potential responses to the risks of the fourth drawback are discussed.

John M. Levine
The first section of this article summarizes my life as a group researcher, beginning with my graduate student years at the University of Wisconsin and continuing with my time as a faculty member at the University of Pittsburgh, where my work focused on majority/minority disagreement, with an emphasis on reaction to deviance group socialization and the relationship between social and cognitive processes. The second section presents my analysis of the decline of intragroup process research in social psychology and reasons why such research is so much more popular in organizational psychology/behavior. The third section lays out a possible path to a brighter future in which social psychologists focus on how generic intragroup processes operate in important real-world groups and employ multiple methodologies to increase the external validity of their research. In this context, I suggest that families and extreme groups are particularly worthy of attention.

This study adds a social layer to the job demands-resources theory, applying social comparison and social identity theory to investigate the motivational and health impairment paths in the social context of teams. Specifically, within-team, between-team, and congruence/incongruence effects were tested. As predicted by theory, at within-team level, demands were found to be positively related to health impairments, and resources to motivation. At between-team level, only autonomy showed positive health effects. This study contributes to the scarce research on team-level effects, highlighting the role of the team context in shaping employee experiences of health and motivation.
