We advance the literature on faultlines by theorizing about how and why perceived faultlines (i.e., realized subgroupings as perceived by team members) not only influence team characteristics (e.g., decision-making structures), but also change in response to these team characteristics over time. Drawing on current team theories, we reason that strong perceived faultlines lead teams toward a decentralized decision-making structure (i.e., distributed decision-making responsibility), but a decentralized decision-making structure weakens future perceived faultline strength. We also build a theory suggesting a decentralized decision-making structure mitigates the dysfunctional effect of perceived faultlines on team performance. We find support for our theory in a sample of 230 undergraduate students in 48 teams, and we discuss implications for faultline and team research.

Social class inequality is growing at a record pace. What happens when individuals from different social classes work on the same team? We examined the direct and moderating influences of social class as an underexplored form of diversity on team viability in 132 student project teams. Guided by an overarching framework from the team diversity literature, we explored perspective taking and conflict resolution norms as moderators that may safeguard against the negative effects of social class diversity on team viability. As predicted, teams with a mix of higher and lower social class members who were less able to see their teammates’ points of view or develop open conflict resolution norms reported less desire to work together in the future. Given these promising results and the ongoing importance of social class inequality in organizations, future research should continue to examine social class in a team context.

Clinician Scientist positions for residents in training, medical specialists and dentists within the Clinician Scientist Program “Meeting the Challenges of Chronic Age-Related Diseases in Rural Areas”, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Association, DFG). The aim of the program is to join clinical training with scientific research in order to achieve specialist qualification and habilitation or habilitation-equivalent achievements. The scientific focus will be on UMG’s key-fields of research – community medicine, molecular medicine and digital health – as well as on translating research findings into medical care, especially in rural areas.

The present study progresses the understanding of the role problem construction plays in team creative problem-solving. Analyzing recorded teamwork sessions revealed that teams spent the great majority of their time engaged in problem construction behaviors (53.56% of data) compared to idea generation (28.03%), or idea evaluation (18.56%). A social sequence analysis did not reveal any statistically significant sequences of processes utilized by teams. We discuss the breakdown of specific behaviors within each class, provide qualitative descriptions of team processes, and discuss how problem construction was employed and observed at the team level.

Team member differences can be found in various characteristics and be seen as both perks and perils. But what makes one group focus on certain dimensions and differences’ positive implications, while another collective notices other aspects and sees trouble ahead? We address this question in the context of interorganizational teams’ first stages, when impressions are limited and valuations must be made promptly. Our findings from in-depth interviews offer a sensemaking perspective on perceived otherness and explicate when and why differences are interpreted as helping or hindering collaborative practices. Moreover, we illuminate how coorientation and representation dynamics shape otherness perceptions and valuations.

Small teams’ decisions play a major role in shaping business and society. As political differences permeate our lives, their influence is increasingly being felt throughout organizations. Yet, little is known about how executives’ political differences influence the Top Management Team’s decision-making processes. We integrate literatures on executive diversity, political polarization, and small teams to develop a new construct, Top Management Team political polarization, and examine how this team characteristic influences two critical parts of the strategic decision-making process: comprehensiveness and speed. We also propose behavioral integration reduces polarization’s drawbacks, offering improvements to decision-making processes in these polarizing times.
