Linking Transformational Leadership and Team Performance: A Conflict Management Approach
研究基于中国108个团队的数据，发现变革型领导通过鼓励团队采用合作而非竞争的冲突管理方式，促进团队协调，进而提升团队绩效。
abstract This study develops a model in which transformational leadership affects team coordination and performance through the conflict management approaches adopted by team members. Data were collected from three different sources in a lagged design from 108 teams in a large enterprise in China. Results support the reasoning that transformational leadership promotes team coordination and thereby team performance by encouraging teams to adopt a cooperative, as opposed to competitive, approach to conflict management. These results suggest that transformational leadership may help team members manage conflicts for their mutual benefit. This is an important mechanism through which transformational leadership enhances team coordination and, in turn, achieves higher team performance.
