Multinational Organization Context: Implications for Team Learning and Performance
研究了跨国公司的宏观背景如何影响团队学习，进而影响任务绩效和人际关系，发现强调全球整合会降低团队学习，而强调响应性和知识管理则促进团队学习。
Integrating and extending literature on international management and team effectiveness, we examined how macro context in multinational organizations (MNCs) influences work team learning and how team learning influences task performance and interpersonal relations. We examined these influences in a multimethod study of 115 teams in 20 subsidiaries of five MNCs. Controlling for micro contextual features, including team type, training, feedback, and autonomy, we found that organizational contexts emphasizing global integration reduced team learning, but those emphasizing responsiveness and knowledge management increased team learning. Team learning in turn positively influenced both task performance and the quality of interpersonal relations.
