A meta-analysis of team reflexivity: Antecedents, outcomes, and boundary conditions
通过元分析发现，团队反思能提升团队绩效，但效果受团队规模和团队任期影响；领导者支持成员参与讨论和决策，能通过增强团队心理安全感来促进反思。
In this meta-analysis, we assess the performance benefits of team reflexivity. Drawing on the teams-as-information-processors perspective, we provide evidence that team reflexivity facilitates team performance, yet we also find that these benefits depend on key team design contingencies, namely team size and team tenure. In addition, we examine how team leaders can make their team more reflexive. Our study shows that leaders who support team members' active participation in group discussion and decision-making set the stage for greater reflexivity and then greater performance by fostering the emergence of team psychological safety. We also provide a comprehensive review of the research on team reflexivity by examining the strength of relationships in its nomological network. Overall, this meta-analysis challenges certain assumptions about reflexivity and opens new avenues for research to further understand its role in the effectiveness of teams. • Our study plays a central role in resolving the debate about the value of team reflexivity. • The performance benefits of team reflexivity vary with team size and team tenure. • Supporting members' participation in discussions and decisions increases team reflexivity. • Psychological safety is key to understanding leaders' influence on team reflexivity.
