Many phenomena of interest to management and psychology scholars are dynamic and change over time. One of the primary impediments to the examination of dynamic phenomena has been challenges associated with collecting data at a sufficient frequency and duration to accurately model such changes. Emerging technologies that produce nearly continuous st...

Previous research has highlighted how interpersonal-and task-based conflicts can impact work team effectiveness. The majority of such work, however, has implicitly treated both types of conflict as shared team properties. Yet each team member may perceive or experience varying degrees of conflict with other team members, which suggests that individ...

As social network theory and methodology advance, scholars in multiple fields have increasingly become interested in examining work teams using network perspectives. Social networks not only enabled work team researchers to theorize about interdependencies and the dynamic interplay of team components (i.e., individuals, dyads, and whole teams) but...

Multiteam systems (MTSs) operating in complex and dynamic environments often have a formal hierarchical leadership structure. However, it is unclear whether individuals should stick exclusively to performing their designated tasks within the hierarchical leadership structure, or if, instead, they should switch between different types of tasks to al...

Organizational processes have been widely recognized as both multilevel and dynamic, yet traditional methods of measurements limit our ability to model and understand such phenomena. Featuring a popular model of team processes advanced by Marks et al. (2001), we illustrate a method to use individuals' communications as construct valid unobtrusive m...

First responders are on the front line of patient care and service, but research has shown that they are also on the front line of exposure to violence. Currently, there is a lack of evidence-based interventions that prepare first responders to handle violence on the job. With the increase in emergency medical services (EMS) call volume and reports...

Team conflict literature has advanced to investigate differential effects of different types (task-, relationship-, and process conflict) on group processes and outcomes. However, our understanding is limited as team conflict has been mostly studied as a holistic, static state based on members’ perceptions, without considering the behavioral aspect...

Since the Hawthorne studies of the 1920s and 1930s, there has been tremendous progress in the science and the practice of work group effectiveness. We chronicle the evolution of 3 schools of thought concerning work groups that spawned about the time of those studies. We highlight the different emphases of each perspective and how they eventually me...

This study explores multilevel theoretical model of cognitive process in teams to advance and test a cross-level model of relationships between team performance and individual self- efficacy. Specifically, the present study investigates cross-level attribution process as a predictor of self-efficacy resulting from team performance and moderating ro...
