“…While individual‐level appraisal (i.e., an individual's assessment of a potentially stressful situation's relevance to their own goals and their ability to effectively cope with it) plays a crucial role in shaping how individuals manage stress and has been extensively studied in coping research (e.g., Cooper et al, 2001; Lazarus & Folkman, 1984), individual‐level conceptualization of appraisal limits organizational scholars' ability to effectively study team‐level coping and well‐being. Furthermore, prior research on group level or collective coping (e.g., Kamphuis et al, 2021; Kuo, 2013; Rodríguez et al, 2019) has not adequately addressed how teams develop shared appraisal of individual‐ and team‐level stressors nor how they cope to preserve team‐level well‐being. We argue that the usage of aggregate or compositional measures of individual stressor appraisals in measuring team appraisal can limit the investigation of team‐level coping, overlooking the diversity of team members' different appraisals of individual level stressors (e.g., some may appraise remote work as a hindrance stressor for and others as a positive challenge for goal achievement).…”
