How do formal time allocations in teams affect team learning trajectories and performance? We argue that allocating more time for transition phases induces steeper learning trajectories that engender a positive group atmosphere, which in turn improves team performance by improving coordination quality. We tested our hypotheses in a laboratory experiment in which teams worked on a creative design task over multiple iterations. Using a latent growth modeling approach, we found that teams with shorter action and longer transition phases during prototyping had lower initial performance but steeper learning trajectories, which indirectly led to better final team performance.

We assess the relative value of participative and directive leadership for improving the accuracy and speed of decision-making in crisis management teams, contingent on whether teams face an emergency that is familiar or unfamiliar to them. Testing our theory, using randomized experiments, with 72 teams tasked with managing simulated crises, we found that participative leadership improves decision accuracy in unfamiliar emergencies, whereas directive leadership improves accuracy in familiar crises; directive leadership produces speedier decisions than participative leadership when the team is familiar with the crisis. We discuss implications of our findings for leaders and crisis management experts.

In this study we present a process model of team planning that distinguishes between four specific processes: exploration, strategic planning, detailed planning, and prognosis. From this model, we developed and validated a 16-item multidimensional long-form scale, a 4-item one-dimensional short-form scale, and a single-item scale. Results from three samples (total N = 536) with varying populations and settings provide support for the multidimensionality of the planning construct and the theorized structure of the scales and, also, demonstrate discriminant and convergent validity and predictive validity in terms of team performance.

Voice behavior has been extensively explored, but its effect on leaders, particularly at the team level, has been overlooked. Enlightened by self-expansion theory and followership research, we theorize that employee voice can boost leaders’ managerial self-efficacy (team level) via leader self-expansion. We tested our hypotheses using a time-lagged survey with 67 teams (298 employees and 67 supervisors). Results from multilevel structural equation modeling confirmed our hypotheses, showing employee voice has a positive relationship with leaders’ self-expansion, which in turn affects leaders’ managerial self-efficacy at the team level. The study offers novel insights into employee voice consequences and followership research.

Across four studies, we examine how public negative labeling, which is when a group member is publicly identified as bad, affects team performance. Across three experiments and one field study, we test and find support for our model, that public negative labeling undermines team performance via reduced perceptions of team interaction quality. Our study contributes to the expansive conversation on team effectiveness which highlights that “fighting fire with fire” in terms of public negative labeling is ineffective for dealing with uncivil workplace behavior.

This article presents a dynamic conceptualization for the assessment of language style matching (LSM) over time. LSM is a team’s mutual adaption of function words like pronouns, articles, or prepositions. LSM is a nonconsciously but frequently occurring communication behavior allowing researchers unobtrusive insights into teams’ internal dynamics. Building on guidelines for the alignment of construct and measurement, a dynamic conceptualization and method for LSM are introduced. Simulated examples and interactions of N = 160 individuals in 26 teams indicate that dynamic LSM allows for a truer estimation of LSM than the hitherto used static method. Implications for future application are discussed.
