Twenty-nine teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address research question: whether soccer referees are more likely give red cards dark-skin-toned players than light-skin-toned players. Analytic approaches varied widely across teams, and estimated effect sizes ranged from 0.89 2.93 ( Mdn = 1.31) in odds-ratio units. Twenty (69%) found a statistically significant positive effect, 9 (31%) did not observe relationship. Overall, 29 different analyses 21 unique combinations of...

During an organizational crisis in health care, we collected multilevel data from 426 team members and 52 leaders. The results of hierarchical linear modeling describe the influence leader behavior on members’ resilience, which is primarily through affective mechanisms. Specifically, transformational leadership was associated with greater levels positive affect lower negative affect, turn predicted higher resilience among members. Inverse effects were found for passive form...

Organizations increasingly operate within dynamic environments that require them to adapt. To respond quickly and effectively acute or on-going change, many organizations use teams help remain competitive. Accordingly, the topic of team adaptation has become more prominent broader organizational literature. Given wealth knowledge been accumulated, we consider what learned date. However, even with increased attention literature, not all are created equal in terms their capacity for...

This crowdsourced project introduces a collaborative approach to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, in which findings are replicated qualified independent laboratories before (rather than after) they published. Our goal is establish non-adversarial replication process with highly informative final results. To illustrate Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) approach, 25 research groups conducted replications all ten moral judgment effects last author and his...

In this crowdsourced initiative, independent analysts used the same dataset to test two hypotheses regarding effects of scientists' gender and professional status on verbosity during group meetings. Not only analytic approach but also operationalizations key variables were left unconstrained up individual analysts. For instance, could choose operationalize as job title, institutional ranking, citation counts, or some combination. To maximize transparency process by which choices are made, a...

Abstract We present the data from a crowdsourced project seeking to replicate findings in independent laboratories before (rather than after) they are published. In this Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) initiative, 25 research groups attempted 10 moral judgment effects single laboratory’s pipeline of unpublished findings. The were investigated using online/lab surveys containing psychological manipulations (vignettes) followed by questionnaires. Results revealed mix reliable,...

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

Although teams often use a trial-and-error process to solve novel and difficult problems, they tend emphasize the trials over errors, rushing through while allocating insufficient time discussing lessons from their errors. In laboratory experiment, we examined extent which allocation affected experimentation in ad-hoc (n = 59) by manipulating relative durations of action transition phases. Video recordings 177 team discussions (3 per team) were coded. Using Latent Growth Modeling approach,...

Disruptions are a normal part of work life and they have important consequences for tasks completed by teams. A team disruption is trigger or catalyst change. However, little known about the effects that disruptions invoke in teams because inconsistency form function take research. To enable clearer understanding generate, we review past research assessing disruptions, cross analyze descriptions, define categories. These categories include environmental, structural, social provide framework...

As organizations cross cultural boundaries, they encounter values and assumptions that differ from their own. Some differences have little effect on crisis management, while most fundamentally challenge management assumptions, theories practices. Although globalization is pervasive, attention has addressed leadership challenges of trans-boundary management. To address this research gap, we propose five tenets We discuss dimensions variance are relevant to Next, synthesize value inherent...
