Abstract(s)
Research has demonstrated the value of team adaptation for organizational
teams. However, empirical work on interventions that teams can take to
increase adaptive team performance is scarce. In response, this study proposes
a concept mapping intervention as a way to increase teams’ ability to
adapt following a task change. Particularly, this study examines the effect of
a concept mapping intervention on team transition adaptation (the drop in
performance after a change) and reacquisition adaptation (the slope of
performance after the change) via its effect on task mental models and
transactive memory systems. We conducted a longitudinal experimental
study of 44 three-person teams working on an emergency management
simulation. Findings suggest that the concept mapping intervention promotes reacquisition adaptation, task mental models, and transactive memory systems.
Results also suggest that task mental models mediate the effect of the
concept mapping intervention on reacquisition adaptation. A post hoc analysis
suggests that the concept mapping intervention is only effective if it leads to
high task mental model accuracy. Our study presents concept mapping
as a practical intervention to promote shared cognition and reacquisition
adaptation.
