Purpose

As a cornerstone of team performance, learning depends on each member’s mindset. Drawing on implicit theories of intelligence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among individual members’ mindsets and shared leadership (SL) behaviors in design teams and the mediation role of team growth mindset (TGM) on that relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors analyzed survey results based on individuals who participated in an international design competition. To test the hypothesized model, the data was analyzed by using SEM using Mplus 7.

Findings

The results indicated that an individual growth mindset (IGM; but not an individual-fixed mindset) has significant and positive direct effects on a team growth mindset and SL behaviors. In addition, a TGM mediates the relationship between an IGM and SL.

Originality/value

The research discusses several theoretical and practical implications for human resource development professionals and scholars to improve understanding of a TGM and its influence on individual mindsets and SL behaviors.

检验团队成长心态对个人心态与共享领导关系的中介作用

目的

作为团队绩效的基石，学习取决于每个成员的心态。本研究的目的是利用隐性智力理论，探讨设计团队中个体成员的心态与共享领导（SL）行为之间的关系，以及团队成长心态（TGM）对此关系的中介作用。

设计/方法论/途径

作者根据参加国际设计竞赛的个人分析了调查结果。为了测试假设的模型，使用 Mplus 7 通过 SEM 分析数据。

发现

结果表明，个人成长心态（IGM；但不是个人固定心态）对团队成长心态和 SL 行为具有显着且积极的直接影响。此外，TGM 调解 IGM 和 SL 之间的关系。

原创性/价值

该研究讨论了人力资源开发专业人士和学者的一些理论和实践意义，以提高对 TGM 及其对个人心态和 SL 行为影响的理解。
