The Impact Of Team Reflexivity And Working Time On Shared Mental Models And Team Effectiveness

This study examines the effect of team reflexivity on shared mental models and team effectiveness. Totally 54 student participants formed 18 3-preson teams on a simulation task. Teams were randomly assigned to a individual reflexivity, a group reflexivity or a control condition. Results show that, (1)similarity of shared mental models haven't increased significantly over time;(2) team effectiveness increased significantly over time;(3) individual reflexivity can positive forecast shared mental models; (4)the work time of teams can positive forecast team effectiveness;(5) shared mental models can't be a mediating variable between team effectiveness and times.
