The Importance of Transformational Leadership Behaviors in Team Mental Model Similarity, Team Efficacy, and Intra-Team Conflict
基于36个作战团队的数据，研究了变革型领导行为如何通过团队心理模型相似性和团队效能影响团队内部冲突，发现变革型领导正向关联心理模型相似性，进而提升团队效能并减少冲突。
Using data from 36 combat teams, we examined how transformational leadership is connected with team mental model (TMM) similarity. In addition, we investigated the mediating role of TMM similarity and team efficacy in the link between transformational leadership and intra-team conflict. Data analysis revealed that well-defined transformational leadership behaviors were positively associated with TMM similarity, whereas TMM similarity was positively connected with team efficacy. Results also indicated that higher levels of team efficacy were associated with lower levels of intra-team conflict (task, relationship, and process). In addition, both TMM similarity and team efficacy mediated the link between transformational leadership and intra-team conflict. Implications of findings are discussed.
