The Effects of Leadership Style and Team Process on Performance and Innovation in Functionally Heterogeneous Teams

Somech, Anit·2006·Journal of Management

Abstract

This study focused on leadership style (participative leadership/directive leadership) as a key factor, which has an intervening impact on a functionally heterogeneous team’s process and outcomes. In a study of 136 primary care teams, the author found that in high functionally heterogeneous teams, participative leadership style was positively associated with team reflection, which in turn fostered team innovation; however, this leadership style decreased team in-role performance. The impact of directive leadership was in promoting team reflection under the condition of low functional heterogeneity, whereas no such impact was found under the condition of high functional heterogeneity.

  • Participative leadership moderates the relationship between team heterogeneity and team reflection, such that the relationship is stronger in teams characterized by participative leadership.

    “has been shown to moderate the relationship between team heterogeneity and team reflection, such that the relationship is stronger in teams characterized by participative leadership (Somech 2006).”
  • The cognitive processes associated with team reflection encourage team members to challenge each other on task-related issues, contributing in turn to constructive interactive practices.

    “The cognitive processes associated with team reflection encourage team members to challenge each other on task-related issues, contributing in turn to constructive interactive practices (Simons et al. 1999;Somech 2006;Tjosvold 1990).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
