Team Exploratory and Exploitative Learning: Psychological Safety, Task Conflict, and Team Performance
研究将探索性学习和利用性学习视为不同的团队活动，构建测量指标，并分析它们与心理安全、任务冲突及团队绩效的关系。对142个创新项目团队的分析显示，心理安全与两种学习存在线性和非线性关系，任务冲突正向调节心理安全与利用性学习的关系，两种学习共同影响团队绩效。
This study conceptualized exploratory and exploitative learning as distinct team-level activities, constructed measures of them, and examined their relationships with psychological safety, task conflict, and team performance. Structural equation analysis in a sample of 142 innovation project teams indicated that psychological safety was linearly and nonlinearly related to team exploitative and exploratory learning, respectively; whereas task conflict positively moderated the relationship between psychological safety and exploitative learning. Furthermore, exploratory and exploitative learning were additively related to team performance, as rated by team managers, and mediated its relationship with psychological safety. The findings contribute to understanding how and under what conditions organizational teams engage in exploratory and exploitative learning to maximize their performance.
