THE EFFECT OF VERBAL SELF‐GUIDANCE TRAINING ON COLLECTIVE EFFICACY AND TEAM PERFORMANCE
研究检验了言语自我引导训练对提升团队集体效能和绩效的效果，发现训练能显著提高集体效能，且集体效能中介了训练与绩效的关系。
Although organizations frequently use teams, few studies have systematically examined training methods designed to improve collective efficacy and team performance. As such, the primary purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of verbal self‐guidance (VSG) training, adapted from Meichenbaum (1975,1977), on collective efficacy and team performance. Using a quasi‐experimental design, undergraduate students ( n = 184) were assigned to 42 teams. These 42 teams were assigned to 2 training conditions (verbal self‐guidance/comparison). Results revealed that verbal self‐guidance had a main effect on collective efficacy and performance. Collective efficacy was found to mediate the VSG training‐performance relationship; it also correlated significantly with both team performance and the use of verbal guidance skills.
