The Conceptual Framework of Factors Affecting Shared Mental Model

Abstract

Many researchers have paid attention to the potentiality and possibility of the shared mental model because it enables teammates to perform their job better by sharing team knowledge, skills, attitudes, dynamics and environments. Even though theoretical and experimental evidences provide a close relationship between the shared mental model and successful team performance, there has not been much consideration of the factors of the shared mental model that can show a causal relationship between it and team performance. Based on the reviews of existing studies, the purpose of this study is to specify what factors affect the shared mental model. For further research, it is necessary to conduct empirical studies that validate the causal relationship among the identified factors of shared mental models that affect team performance
