Linking positive psychological capital to team effectiveness through team learning behaviors

Abstract

This cross-sectional study examined the mediator role of global and multidimensional team learning behaviors in the relation between positive psychological capital (PsyCap) and multiple team effectiveness criteria (team performance, team member satisfaction, and team viability). The sample comprised 190 employees working in 20 teams activating in various fields of activity. Findings indicate the totally mediating effect of global team learning behaviors on the relation between PsyCap and team satisfaction. Furthermore, PsyCap enhances team performance and team member satisfaction as team effectiveness criteria through few individual team learning behaviors.
