TL;DR: In this article, the authors 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, and found that in high functional heterogeneous teams, participative leadership was positively associated with team reflection, which in turn fostered team innovation; however, this leadership style decreased team in-role performance.

TL;DR: In this article, a review provides a selective and critical analysis of staffing best practices covering literature from roughly 2000 to the present, and several research-practice gaps are also identified. But despite the critical needs for effective staffing practice, staffing research continues to be neglected or misunderstood by many organizational decision makers.
