Experiencing meaningfulness climate in teams: How spiritual leadership enhances team effectiveness when facing uncertain tasks
研究基于中国123个团队的多源数据，发现精神型领导通过营造意义氛围提升团队绩效和组织公民行为，且任务不确定性越强，这种作用越明显。
This study integrates social information processing theory with leadership and climate literature, and aims to produce novel theoretical insights into whether and how spiritual leadership and task uncertainty foster conditions to enhance meaningfulness climate and subsequent team effectiveness in China. Team effectiveness was operationalized as team performance and team organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Based on data collected at three time points over 12 months from multiple sources of 123 teams in China, we found that spiritual leadership was positively related to team performance and team OCB through meaningfulness climate. Further, the relationship between spiritual leadership and meaningfulness climate was stronger for teams with high task uncertainty than teams with low task uncertainty.
