摘要
断层是团队构成研究中的重要变量,但团队断层研究结论却表现出较高的异质性。本研究通过元分析方法对1998-2017年91个研究、100个样本的537个效应值进行定量整合,探索了团队断层的前因及断层对团队过程和结果的影响,并尝试找出以往研究结果不一致的原因。从断层的前因来看,尽管团队规模和积极型领导对断层强度的影响并不显著,但团队集权对断层强度具有显著促进作用(ρ=0.080,N=7720)。从断层的影响机制来看,团队断层强度与冲突行为过程正相关(ρ=0.093,N=4507),与情感连结过程(ρ=-0.093,N=3179)和绩效结果(ρ=-0.037,N=40008)负相关。进一步的调节效应分析表明,断层类型能够显著调节断层强度与团队过程和结果之间的关系。与潜在断层强度相比,激活断层强度对团队过程和结果的负面影响更大;与非任务型断层强度相比,任务型断层强度对任务过程和结果产生更为正面的影响。然而,表层断层与深层断层的影响机制并无明显差异。本研究最后讨论了研究结果和管理启示,并为未来研究提供了相关建议。
Faultline, which is an important variable in team composition studies, has received extensive attention from organizational and team researchers. However, results of team faultlines research have showed a high degree of heterogeneity. In the present study, a meta-analysis was used to quantitatively integrate 537 faultline-related effect sizes in 91 empirical studies and 100 sub-samples(N=32766) from 1998 to 2017, exploring the antecedents of team faultlines and effects of team faultlines on team processes and team outcomes, and attempting to find out the reasons of inconsistent results of previous team faultline research. Results showed that:(1) although effects of team size and positive leadership on team faultline strength were not significant, team power centralization had a significant effect on team faultline strength;(2) team faultline strength could lead to high levels of team conflicting behavioral processes(i.e., team task conflict and relationship conflict) and low levels of team affective bonding processes(i.e., team social integration, identification, satisfactory, cohesion, trust and psychological safety) and performance outcomes(i.e., team task performance and innovative performance), but its effects on other team cognitive processing processes(i.e., team information integration, transactive memory system, team learning, and team reflexivity) were not significant;(3) types of team faultlines could moderate the relationship between team faultlines strength and team process and outcome variables. Activated faultlines strength was more positively correlated with team conflicting behavioral processes and more negatively correlated with team affective bonding processes, team cognitive processing processes and team performance outcomes compared to potential faultlines strength. Task-related faultlines strength was more positively correlated with team cognitive processing processes and team performance outcomes, whereas non-task-related faultlines strength was more negativ
