“…The team will only benefit if divergence in meaning leads to deep-level processing of the diverse information and viewpoints in the team (van Knippenberg et al 2004;Homan et al 2007). An open-minded discussion of diverse views is a critical social process by which a more complete awareness and appreciation of the complexity of the problem at hand is developed, incorporating the diverse ideas (Tjosvold et al 2004;Tjosvold 2008). Through this negotiation by argument and clarification, the team works towards a convergence of meaning in order to reach shared mental models.…”

To gain insight in the social processes that underlie knowledge sharing in teams, this article questions which team learning behaviors lead to the construction of a shared mental model. Additionally, it explores how the development of shared mental models mediates the relation between team learning behaviors and team effectiveness. Analyses were performed on student-teams engaged in a business simulation game. The measurement of shared mental models was based on cognitive mapping techniques. The results indicate that a team learning perspective provides insight in how people share knowledge. Particularly the team learning behaviors identified as co-construction and constructive conflict are related to the development of shared mental models. In addition, a shared mental model of the task environment in a team leads to improved performance. This underscores the importance of developing shared cognition in teamwork.

“…For example, Tjosvold and colleagues, drawing on the cooperationcompetition theory (Deutsch, 1973;Johnson & Johnson, 1989), have conducted effective interventions for developing cooperative relationships and promoting the ability among team members to see conflict as an opportunity to discuss diverse views open-mindedly (constructive controversy, see also Tjosvold, 2008;Tjosvold & Su, 2007), which can foster creative solutions and reinforce relationships (Lu et al, 2010;Tjosvold et al, 2014). In contrast to cooperative conflict resolution in teams, we focused on individual integrative conflict resolution.…”
