Teamwork Coaching in the Research Development Process Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-20 Bryan Stephens, Joanna B. Downer, Jonathon N. Cummings
Proposal teams play a critical, yet understudied, role in team science. This study advances our understanding of teamwork coaching in the research development (RD) process by analyzing proposal support in a U.S. Medical School (2009–2019). We find that teamwork coaching mediates the positive association between team size and awarded outcomes. We also find that teams with proposer team familiarity need

The Curvilinear Relationship Between Empowering Leadership and Team Performance: A Self-Regulatory Perspective Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Ning Chen, Lu Chen, Yu Kang, Yutong Zhou
Although previous research demonstrated that empowering leadership has both positive and negative impacts on team consequences, our current knowledge of the processes by which and the conditions under which empowering leadership promotes or hinders team performance remains limited. Drawing on the too-much-of-a-good-thing (TMGT) effect and the team self-regulatory perspective, our findings, backed with

Anxious to Perform: Compositional Effects of Negative Task-Related Emotions in Teams Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Marc W. Heerdink, Astrid C. Homan
We investigated how team composition, in terms of members’ emotions about the team tasks ahead, predicts performance on these team tasks. In 45 student teams, a higher average level of anxiety and happiness, but not anger, about the team assignments predicted higher team grades 6 weeks later. We explored potential mediating team processes. These findings contribute to the literature on team affect

Promoting the Effectiveness of School-Based Leadership Teams in the U.S. Context Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2024-01-31 Hyunjin Choi, Eleanor Drago-Severson
Building effective school-based leadership teams (SLTs) is at the forefront of today’s education leadership agenda in the United States. Yet, no review has focused specifically on SLT team effectiveness. In this study, we employed the functional perspective to analyze existing research on SLTs, aiming to directly identify factors connected to SLT team effectiveness in the United States. We reviewed

Their positive potential often diminishes or even turns negative when antecedents of creativity are taken too far. Despite empirical evidence supporting such curvilinear effects on important outcomes of creative work at the individual and team levels, their theorizing remains rather incomplete, with more attention being paid to explaining the curves’ upward rather than downward slopes. By developing

Confidence Is Key: Collective Efficacy, Team Processes, and Team Effectiveness Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2022-06-13 Alexandria K. Elms, Harjinder Gill, Maria Gloria Gonzalez-Morales
We investigated collective efficacy as a key predictor of team effectiveness (i.e., satisfaction and performance) and examined three behavioral team process dimensions (i.e., transition, action, and interpersonal processes) as novel mediators. Based on survey data from 160 project teams, we found a positive linear relation between collective efficacy and team effectiveness. In addition, we found that

The Effect of Formal Time Allocations on Learning Trajectories and Performance Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2022-04-25 Kenneth T. Goh, Colin M. Fisher, S. Amy Sommer
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

Participative or Directive Leadership Behaviors for Decision-Making in Crisis Management Teams? Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2022-04-22 Corinne Post, Hans De Smet, Sjir Uitdewilligen, Bert Schreurs, Jan Leysen
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

You Raise Me Up: Employee Voice Elevates Leader Managerial Self-Efficacy Through Leader Self-Expansion Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2022-04-20 Jinyun Duan, Yudong Guo, Lixiaoyun Shi, Xiaotian Wang
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)

Use of Technology in the Study of Team-Interaction and Performance Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2022-01-25 Endre Sjøvold, Trond Rikard Olsen, Frode Heldal
Direct observation of groups is labor-intensive. As a result, current research on small groups often relies on retrospective ratings. Recent developments in sensor-technology have eased data gathering, leading to a renewed interest in direct observation of groups. Sensor technology has potential, but also limitations; research has been technology- and data-driven with less recognition of the large

Unpacking the Role of Feedback in Virtual Team Effectiveness Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2021-11-22 Lisa Handke, Florian Klonek, Thomas A. O’Neill, Rudolf Kerschreiter
Feedback is a cornerstone of human development. Not surprisingly, it plays a vital role in team development. However, the literature examining the specific role of feedback in virtual team effectiveness remains scattered. To improve our understanding of feedback in virtual teams, we identified 59 studies that examine how different feedback characteristics (content, source, and level) impact virtual

With the worldwide focus shifting toward important questions of what diversity means to society, organizations are attempting to keep up with employees’ needs to feel recognized and belong.

Managing Team Conscientiousness Diversity: The Role of Leader Emotion-Regulation Knowledge Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2021-09-24 Astrid C. Homan, Gerben A. van Kleef
Team members may vary in the degree to which they are self-motivating, diligent, and organized, but effects of such conscientiousness diversity are poorly understood. We propose that conscientiousness diversity effects depend on the team leader’s knowledge about managing negative affective responses—that is emotion regulation knowledge. Data of two time-lagged team studies show that for teams with

Enhanced Motivation and Decision Making from Going Hybrid Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2021-09-08 Paul Hangsan Ahn, Lyn M. van Swol, Sang Jung Kim, Hyelin Park
Hybrid brainstorming is ecologically more valid than all-interactive or all-noninteractive brainstorming, yet understudied. Although ideational benefits of hybrid groups have been found, studies have rarely focused on its affective/motivational contributions or ability to select ideas. In a randomized experiment, noninteractive-then-interactive (hybrid) groups perceived (1) higher goal clarity, engagement

Team virtuality has been mostly conceptualized as structural features, such as the percentage of time team members communicate via technology. However, the perception of distance and of information deficits (team perceived virtuality, TPV) may be an indispensable construct to understand virtual teams’ functioning.

How Demographic Faultlines and Impression Management Behaviors Influence Group Affective Tone Small Group Research (IF 2.5) Pub Date : 2021-03-09 Nai-Wen Chi, Wei-Chi Tsai
Drawing on the social categorization perspective, we theorized that team demographic faultlines increase negative group affective tone (NGAT) through reduced group identification, while team member positive impression management behaviors enhance positive group affective tone (PGAT) via enhanced group identification. Data were collected from 523 members of 101 newly formed student teams. Consistent
