Learning and Performance in Multidisciplinary Teams: The Importance of Collective Team Identification
研究油气行业多学科团队中,专家多样性对团队学习和绩效的影响,发现集体团队认同水平高低会改变这种关系的正负方向,且存在非线性关系。
In multidisciplinary teams in the oil and gas industry, we examined expertise diversity's relationship with team learning and team performance under varying levels of collective team identification. In teams with low collective identification, expertise diversity was negatively related to team learning and performance; where team identification was high, those relationships were positive. Results also supported nonlinear relationships between expertise diversity and both team learning and performance. Finally, team learning partially mediated the linear and nonlinear relationships between diversity and performance. Findings broaden understanding of the process by which and the conditions under which expertise diversity may promote team performance.
