The Moderating Role of Top Management Team Interdependence: Implications for Real Teams and Working Groups
研究基于94个高层管理团队的数据，发现团队相互依赖性调节了凝聚力、沟通与团队及企业绩效的关系：高相互依赖的团队在凝聚力强、沟通多时绩效更高，而低相互依赖的团队则相反。
Prior research evidence shows that within-team interdependence moderates the process-performance relationship in small groups. Data collected from 94 top management teams (TMTs) replicated and extended the small groups finding. Specifically, TMTs with high interdependence (i.e., real teams) had higher team and subsequent firm performance when the team was more cohesive and had more communication. However, teams with low interdependence (i.e., working groups) had higher performance when communication and cohesion were lower. This constructive replication provides the first examination of the moderating effect for team interdependence within TMTs on both team and firm performance.
