This study examines the effects of a psychosocially safe environment and two types of shared leadership on project team creativity. We focused on specific dimensions of shared leadership to examine their association with creative outcomes. To measure the dimensions, we conducted a survey of 260 graduate and undergraduate students working in project...
Despite the wide usage of globally dispersed virtual teams (VT), there has been relatively little research on how leadership affects team performance, particularly with new product development teams in
a global VT setting. To test Quinn’s (1988) Behavioral Complexity in Leadership Theory, a research model of VT leadership was developed and evaluate...
Although the concept of mindsets is relatively ubiquitous in the common press and well-studied in the education literature, the idea of a growth mindset, rooted in implicit theories is less represented in human resource development (HRD) scholarly literature. Given that absence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of a growth mi...
We explored the perceptions of individuals in teams (both leaders and members) regarding shared leadership in the South Korean business context, seeking a nuanced and unique understanding of shared leadership. We examined how shared leadership in team‐based structures develops and functions. Informed by the driving and restraining forces framework,...
As the importance of a team function in educational and industrial settings has been emphasized, practical knowledge of team mindsets can be useful. Previous studies extended the mindset concept of individuals to the team context and developed a 48-item team mindset scale (TMS). However, the original TMS had an issue regarding the length of the sur...
Purpose
As a cornerstone of team performance, learning depends on each member’s mindset. Drawing on implicit theories of intelligence, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among individual members’ mindsets and shared leadership (SL) behaviors in design teams and the mediation role of team growth mindset (TGM) on that relat...
Job embeddedness (JE) has been recognized as a key factor to address the issue of employee turnover and employee attitudes.

The Problem
Research on South Korean women entrepreneurs in the information technology (IT) industry is limited, and thus learning how they start and develop their businesses will address a gap in the literature. In addition, as our previous study on women entrepreneurs in Korea encompassed all industries, we did not sufficiently capture how women...

As the nature of work has become much more complex and sociotechnical, the needs for developing expertise are high. Research on expertise development are diverse (Bjork, 1994; Einstein & McDaniel, 2005; Schneider et al., 2002), but empirical studies intended to bridge expertise development and instructional design theories are relatively scarce (Er...
Our interest is in discerning the ways that mindset is being investigated relative to adult
learning and to better understand if there are shifts in the way the construct is conceptualized
and investigated in comparison to the earlier literature which focuses on children and
adolescents. Therefore, the purpose is to clarify the construct of mindset...
Despite intense interest in informal learning in the workplace, few attempts have been made to synthesize the current literature. This article provides an integrative and analytical review of prior empirical studies with two research questions: (1) How has informal learning been conceptualized and measured in prior research? and (2) What factors in...

Questions
Questions (2)
I would love to hear from practitioners’ point of view as well.
I have read some team scale development papers that only used individual level data (not aggregated into a team level). Is that a limitation or is that a typical process? The survey instruments include the questions like, “Our team performs well when .....”.

We are planning to collect pilot data from student project teams over the next few weeks. That involves setting up sessions for collecting video data, preparing the data for coding, learning how to code, and doing the coding.
We are working on scheduling of team meetings and coding meetings. We have reserved Fridays from 11 am to 3 pm to collect data from the student teams.
