“…In return, team processes loaded significantly on team effectiveness (Mathieu et al, 2000). Similar results pertaining to shared teamwork cognition were found by Team Chemistry 4 Zhou and Wang (2010) who aimed at capturing the moderating effect of SMM on the relationship between team process and performance. To meet this end, 50 three-person teams in a simulated construction project planning program were examined.…”

Aims:The purpose of the current study was to establish a conceptual framework of team chemistry components in sport with an emphasis on Shared Mental Models (SMM).Method: Elite soccer coaches (n = 6) and players (n = 3) were interviewed using a semistructured interview guide. An inductive thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data.Results: Four themes related to team chemistry components were identified: (1) members' characteristics (i.e., demographic data, on-field characteristics, and member's ego), (2) coachplayers interactions (i.e., professional interaction and emotional intelligence of coaches), (3) interactions among the players (i.e., professional understanding, efficacy beliefs, team cohesion, players' emotional intelligence, team roles, and goals), and (4) interactions with environmental factors (i.e., owners, management, fans, and media). Conclusions:The cognitive components of the team chemistry model were clustered to establish a conceptual framework of SMM. Furthermore, the cognitive-affective-social-behavioral linkage of team chemistry and athletic performance is examined in light of the emerged model and conceptual framework. Implications and future directions are also discussed. Expertise in Soccer Teams: A Thematic Inquiry into the Role of Shared Mental Models within Team ChemistryIndividuals frequently collaborate to enhance their team's performance (Colin, 2003). Such collaborations have been acknowledged as especially important in situations in which a broader knowledge foundation and different skills are necessary for efficient decision-making (Kellermanns, Floyd, Pearson, & Spencer, 2008). In their conceptual framework on expert teams, Eccles and Tenenbaum (2004) emphasized social (e.g., communication) and cognitive (e.g., shared cognitions) components to be crucial for reaching coordination in the pursuit of superior Team Chemistry 3 collective performance. Specifically, the concepts of teamwork and taskwork knowledge have been proposed to underlie team coordination (Cannon-Bowers & Salas, 1998;Klimoski & Mohammed, 1994;Mclntyre & Salas, 1995). Teamwork knowledge refers to implicit knowledge of actions made by other teammates. Taskwork knowledge centers on the team member's knowledge pertaining to the performance requirements of a specific role in the team (Mohammed, Ferzandi, & Hamilton, 2010). Eccles and Tenenbaum (2004) have exemplified the application of taskwork and teamwork knowledge in sports such as football, and the differences between them. Accordingly, taskwork was represented by the quarterback's ability to execute a pass that reaches its targeted destination in space and time. Yet, to complete the task successfully, the quarterback depends on teamwork (e.g., teammates blocking the defensive line from reaching him, the running back faking receiving the ball, and other potential receivers distracting the opponents from identifying the real target). As players transfer teams, their taskwork knowledge mostly holds. Nevertheless, new teamwork elements of the task ...

“…For example, Bradley et al (2012) found that psychological safety, an emergent state characterized as a shared belief that a team's climate is one where it is safe to speak up and take risks, moderates the relationship between task conflict and team performance. Similarly, Zhou and Wang (2010) found that the relationship between team processes and performance was moderated by shared mental models, an emergent state defined as the knowledge shared by team members. In this work, we posit that the relationship between innovation processes and performance will be moderated by team goal clarity and commitment, whereas the relationship between innovation processes and reputation will be moderated by team affective tone.…”

Using two distinct samples, this research unpacks the relationships between team innovation processes and effectiveness (measured as performance and reputation). Furthermore, we examine the moderating role of two team emergent states: goal clarity and commitment, and affective tone. We find that the relationship between innovation processes and performance is moderated by goal clarity and commitment, such that the relationship is more strongly positive when goal clarity and commitment is high. Conversely, innovation processes are more positively related to reputation when teams have lower levels of negative affective tone. Implications for research on innovation processes, emergent states, and effectiveness are discussed along with implications for practice. Practitioner pointsInnovation processes are beneficial for both team performance and reputation. However, these effects are influenced by the way team members view their goals and the emotions they experience in the team, respectively. We find that the effect of innovation processes on team performance is stronger when team objectives are clear and members are committed to their goals. The relationship between innovation processes and team reputation is weakened when team members experience negative affect. The findings, observed in both call centre and roller hockey teams, highlight that for the relationship between innovation and effectiveness to be positive, it is important to provide clear goals and manage team affect.

“…and in turn, to coordinate their actions and adapt their behavior to demands of the task and other team members" (Cannon-Bowers, Salas, & Converse, 1993, p. 228). The cognitive concept of SMM has been used to study team operations in the military, education, industry, and high-technology developers (see Johnson & Lee, 2008;Levesque, Wilson, & Wholey, 2001;Mathieu, Heffner, Goodwin, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 2000;Zhou & Wang, 2010). However, sport studies utilizing SMM remain scarce.…”

This study was aimed at capturing the components comprising shared mental models (SMM) and the training methods used to address SMM in one athletic program context. To meet this aim, two soccer coaches from the same collegiate program were interviewed and observed extensively during practices and games throughout the 2009–2010 season. In addition, documents (e.g., players’ positioning on free kicks sheet) from the soccer program were reviewed. The data were analyzed inductively through a thematic analysis to develop models that operationalize SMM through its components, and training. Game intelligence and game philosophy were the two main operational themes defining SMM. Moreover, four themes emerged for SMM training: (a) the setting, (b) compensatory communication, (c) reinforcement, and (d) instruction. SMM was embedded within a more comprehensive conceptual framework of team chemistry, including emotional, social, and cognitive dimensions. Implications of these conceptual frameworks are considered for sport psychologists and coaches.
