It's what you do and the way that you do it: Team task, team size, and innovation-related group processes
TLDR
In this article, the authors describe a study of the relationships between team inputs (task type and team size) and team processes in 87 cross industry Portuguese teams, some of which had high and some low requirements to innovate.Abstract:
This article describes a study of the relationships between team inputs (task type and team size) and team processes in 87 cross industry Portuguese teams, some of which had high and some low requirements to innovate. Team processes were measured using the Team Climate Inventory (TCI), which focuses on clarity of and commitment to team objectives, levels of participation, support for innovation, and quality emphases. Three hypotheses were tested. The first proposed that teams carrying out tasks with a high innovation requirement would have high scores on a measure of team processes. This was supported insofar as such teams reported higher levels of participation and support for innovation. The second hypothesis proposed that large teams would have poorer team processes. This hypothesis was confirmed. The third hypothesis concerned the interaction between size and innovation. The results suggested that large teams operating under a relatively high pressure to innovate have poorer team processes than large teams that do not have a high requirement to innovate.read more

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