This study integrates theories from the leadership and team development literatures to resolve ambiguity regarding relative benefits of empowering directive in teams by focusing on their influence processes over time. Empirical results based longitudinal performance data 60 suggest that led a leader initially outperform those an leader. However, despite lower early performance, experience higher improvement time because levels learning, coordination, empowerment, mental model development....

The purpose of this study was to use faultline theory examine the effects gender diversity on team creativity. Results from 80 teams working an idea generation task indicated that activation faultlines negatively affected number and overall creativity ideas. However, were not activated had no effect. also relationship between partially mediated by level conflict within team. Specifically, emotional ideas generated. Implications are discussed, as well possible limitations directions for...

In an effort to extend theory and research linking personality team effectiveness, this study used the workflow networks literature investigate effects of critical member dispositional assertiveness on performance satisfaction. Results from 64 teams working a command-and-control simulation indicated that positively affected also both those were due improvements in team's transactive memory system.

The purpose of this study was to uncover compositional and emergent influences on unethical behavior by teams. Results from 126 teams indicated that the presence a formalistic orientation within team negatively related collective decisions. Conversely, utilitarian positively both decisions behaviors. also relationship between utilitarianism outcomes moderated level psychological safety team, such with high levels were more likely engage in Implications are discussed, as well potential...

The primary purpose in this study was to extend theory and research regarding the motivational process teams by examining effects of hybrid rewards on team performance. Further, better understand underlying level mechanisms, authors examined whether hypothesized benefits over shared individual were due increased information allocation reduced social loafing. Results from 90 working a command-and-control simulation supported hypotheses. Hybrid led higher levels performance than did rewards;...

3D microfluidic networks are fabricated in a gelatin hydrogel using sacrificial melt-spun microfibers made from material with pH-dependent solubility. The fibers, after being embedded within the gel, can be removed by changing gel pH to induce dissolution. This process is performed an entirely aqueous environment, avoiding extreme temperatures, low pressures, and toxic organic solvents. Detailed facts of importance specialist readers published as "Supporting Information". Such documents...

The primary purpose of this study was to extend theory and research regarding the emergence mental models transactive memory in teams.Utilizing Kozlowski et al.'s (1999) model team compilation, we examine effect role identification behaviors argue that such represent initial building blocks cognition during compilation phase development.We then hypothesized would convey effects these onto performance development.Results from 60 teams working on a command control simulation supported our hypotheses.

Although members of teams share a common, ultimate objective, they often have asymmetric or conflicting individual goals that shape the way contribute to, and pursue, shared goal team. Compounding this problem, are frequently unaware nature these asymmetries even fact such differences exist. Drawing on, integrating, social interdependence representational gaps theories, we identify 2 emergent states combine interactively to enable overcome goals: team identification learning orientation....

The purpose of this study was to utilize the job demands-resources model examine direct and interactive effects demands cross-training on cognitive, behavioral, affective outcomes in teams. Results from 54 teams indicated that an increase reduced mental accuracy information allocation increased tension among team members. Cross-training, other hand, decreased More importantly, were qualified by interaction. When high, cross-trained evidenced higher accuracy, more allocation, less than not...

This study examines how teams respond to unplanned member loss. We draw on theory of team compilation and adaptation suggest that with well-developed transactive memory systems (TMS) will be better equipped withstand the loss a member. Then, based role criticality theories, we argue those effects depend which is absent, such when more critical lost, performance benefits TMS are reduced. Finally, reason this interactive effect because team’s ability engage in plan formulation. tested found...

We introduce the concept of chronotype diversity into team literature. define as extent to which members differ in their biological predispositions toward optimal timing daily periods activity and rest. To explain effects on outcomes, we develop a theory energetic asynchrony. Team asynchrony refers temporal asymmetries among members' peaks troughs physical psychological energy. In our theoretical model delineate how affects performance by specifying three specific processes (coordination,...

We examine the effects of leader prevention focus on leader's own behavior, in form harmful overruling good ideas by their follower team, and team's collective behaviors, processes, performance. argue that when leaders adopt a mindset, it can have costly team outcomes. tested our hypotheses using an experimental design which 84 five-person teams engaged networked simulation, we manipulated through selection training. Our were generally supported. Specifically, found with are more likely to...

Purpose The paper aims to investigate why organizations often opt reject Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)-sponsored mediation of employment disputes (in contrast employees who tend readily agree it). It is guided by recent research associated with Shapiro and Kirkman’s (1999, 2001) theory “anticipatory justice”, whereby (in)justice anticipated, or expected, when people think about an event they have not yet experienced whose likely fairness are questioning. In contrast,...

This symposium showcases a diverse collection of studies that focus on multiple goal pursuit – the simultaneous goals in organizations an effort to synthesize knowledge this important topic from several perspectives. Featuring four distinct methodological approaches, our set presentations spans individual, team, firm, and inter-organizational contexts brings together researchers fields Organizational Behavior, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Strategy. Our symposium, which includes...

Despite the frequency of leadership change in organizations, role team adaptation is not fully understood. We draw on theories and habitual routines to suggest that positively related adaptation. Based functional theory, we argue new leaders will stimulate development novel solutions break dysfunctional habits leading a reduction escalation commitment. Moreover, reduce amount time spent counterproductive tactics, thus error performance. tested found support for our hypotheses using 50 teams...
