TLDR
In this article, the authors conceptualized how action teams may learn and test hypotheses regarding the performance-related effects of such learning, the mechanisms mediating such effects, and the conditions governing their magnitude.Abstract:
Recognizing that current theories of team learning do not apply to short-term action teams, we conceptualize how action teams may learn and test hypotheses regarding the performance-related effects of such learning, the mechanisms mediating such effects, and the conditions governing their magnitude. We operationalized the level of action team learning (ATL) in terms of the regularity and number of role-based, guided team reflexivity experiences of an action team's members. Testing our hypotheses on 250 surgical teams, we find that higher levels of ATL are associated with shorter surgical duration, with this effect mediated by team helping and workload sharing, particularly under conditions of greater team task complexity. Additionally, we find higher levels of ATL to be directly associated with a reduced number of adverse events in low-complexity surgeries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]read more

Team Reflexivity as an Antidote to Team Information-Processing Failures
TL;DR: The authors propose that team reflexivity reduces the occurrence of information-processing failures by ensuring that teams discuss and assess the implications of team information for team goals, processes, and outcomes, and discuss the conditions under which team Reflexivity is and is not likely to facilitate performance.

Team Scaffolds: How Meso-Level Structures Support Role-based Coordination in Temporary Groups
TL;DR: It is shown how mesolevel structures support effective coordination in temporary groups and changes to the coordination patterns in the ED captured through a two-mode network after the team scaffolds were implemented and showed a 40% improvement in patient throughput time.
