“…The diversity-effectiveness relation received considerable attention in literature, and team diversity is the main input variable studied in the I-P-O as well as I-M-O-I models of team effectiveness (Horwitz, 2005;Ilgen et al, 2005). Nevertheless, the results concerning the effects of team heterogeneity on team performance are mixed (Milliken & Martins, 1996;Van Knippenberg & Schippers, 2007).…”

This article explores the interplay between trust and conflict as antecedents of team effectiveness. In the first cross-sectional study, two alternative path models are tested in a sample of 174 teams (897 participants) with the emergent states of task conflict, relationship conflict, and trust acting as mediators between team demographic diversity (gender and nationality) on the one hand and perceived team effectiveness on the other. In one model trust is considered as an antecedent for the two types of conflict, while in the other the two types of conflict precede the emergence of trust. Although the fit indices for the model in which trust is considered the antecedent of conflict were slightly better, both models fitted the data well. The interdependence of trust and conflict was further explored in a second longitudinal study (49 teams), and the results showed that trust emerging in the initial team interaction phases is a good predictor for the emergence of both task and relationship conflict in further stages of team development.

“…However, none of these studies had actually proposed or tested a causal mechanism associated with this link, instead leaving this issue open to interpretation. The information processing and decision making perspective effectively encapsulates the cognitive resource diversity theory, which posits that the cognitive resources of each team member contribute to the overall success of the team; therefore, a diversity of the cognitive resources promotes creativity and decision making capacity (Horwitz, 2005). There is evidence from a wide variety of team types, including flight crews and virtual teams, support this framework of understanding diversity in teams (Guzzo and Dickson, 1996).…”

Diversity and diverse integration viewpoints into organizations are pertinent in a world of shifting demographic patterns and work practices. The challenge of implementing diversity in organizations is increased by the lack of clarification regarding the difference between functional and social diversity in the literature, which results in a lack of differentiation in organizational policies. This lack of clarification is reflected in theoretical research regarding diversity in the workforce and in pragmatic research regarding diversity. This research thematically analyzes the definitions of diversity in management literature to determine whether this differentiation is made in theoretical or practical discussions of diversity management.

“…Shared vision as a fundamental part of cognitive dimension represents the "degree to which community or network members share common goals, common understandings, joint representations, and observations" (Levin, Whitener, & Cross, 2006;Hsu, 2015). Members with a shared vision, shared values, and shared understandings help to expedite the individual actions and restrain any adverse behaviors or conflicts (Horwitz, 2005;Tsai & Ghoshal, 1998) towards the fulfillment of collective interests (Coleman, 1988). This process plays an essential role in sharing and assimilating the aspects of knowledge which are "not common" between them (Grant, 1996).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of online social capital on knowledge acquisition, and thereby, improve the process of entrepreneurial learning for youngsters. The researchers offer hypotheses to shed light on the interrelationships among critical components of social capital theory and knowledge acquisition towards the enhancement of entrepreneurial learning. The study also highlights the role of trust as a moderator which links the other aspects of social capital with knowledge acquisition. The hypotheses were tested using data collected from online groups based on the motive of entrepreneurial culture and student learning. The study findings identified a significant positive relationships between social interaction and knowledge acquisition, between shared vision and knowledge acquisition, and also between knowledge acquisition and entrepreneurial learning, confirming our hypothesis that social capital affects knowledge acquisition and its practice al application to student learning.Furthermore, trust as a moderator diminished the positive relationships between social interaction and knowledge acquisition and also between shared vision and knowledge acquisition. With the emerging use of Web-based technologies, this research can be valuable to explain how different facets of online social capital can foster learning effectiveness for young entrepreneurs in multiple social settings. The findings also provide significant implications for organizations and social networks to better understand the aspects of trust repair which could be helpful to enhance collective learning.
