Effective leadership training in strategizing and coordinating enhances team synchronization. Functional leadership and interteam coordination are key to improving multiteam system (MTS) performance in complex tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Team Dynamics
  • Leadership Studies

Background:

  • Large-scale projects require effective coordination across multiple teams.
  • Multiteam systems (MTSs) present unique leadership challenges for synchronization.
  • Understanding leader functions is crucial for optimizing MTS performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of leader strategizing and coordinating training on MTS functioning.
  • To examine the relationship between functional leadership, interteam coordination, and MTS performance.
  • To elucidate the mediating roles of functional leadership and interteam coordination in MTS success.

Main Methods:

  • Laboratory simulation of a 3-team MTS performing a complex F-22 battle task.

  • Manipulation of leader strategizing and coordinating functions through targeted training.
  • Measurement of functional leadership, interteam coordination, and overall MTS performance.

    • Main Results:

    • Leader training in strategizing and coordinating significantly improved functional leadership and interteam coordination.
    • Enhanced functional leadership was positively associated with higher MTS performance.
    • Functional leadership mediated the training effects on interteam coordination, which in turn fully mediated MTS leadership's impact on MTS performance.

    Conclusions:

    • Training leaders in strategizing and coordinating is effective for improving MTS functioning.
    • Functional leadership and interteam coordination are critical mechanisms linking leader actions to MTS outcomes.
    • Optimizing leadership behaviors is essential for enhancing the performance of complex multiteam systems.
