Summary
Team reflexivity, the process of teams reflecting on and adapting their functions, enhances team performance. This updated framework integrates dynamic team effectiveness and social-cognitive elements for a more comprehensive understanding of team reflexivity.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Team Dynamics
- Management Science
Background:
- Team reflexivity is linked to improved team performance.
- Existing frameworks lack depth in analyzing diverse effects of team reflexivity.
- Current models do not fully capture temporal aspects of teamwork.
Purpose of the Study:
- To update the team reflexivity framework by integrating current theoretical streams.
- To propose a new dimensional structure for team reflexivity.
- To enhance understanding of reflexivity's role in team effectiveness.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of team reflexivity research.
- Revision of the original team reflexivity model.
- Integration of feedback and dynamic team effectiveness frameworks.
- Conceptualization of teams as information-processing systems.
Main Results:
- An updated framework for team reflexivity is presented.
- A new dimensional structure for reflexivity is proposed.
- The model explains diverse relationships between reflexivity and outcomes.
- The framework addresses temporal developments in reflexivity.
Conclusions:
- The revised model offers a more comprehensive perspective on team reflexivity.
- It highlights reflexivity as a process during transition and action phases.
- Provides implications for managing reflexivity and future research directions.

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

393
The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Self-serving bias is a cognitive phenomenon in which individuals attribute positive outcomes to internal factors such as their abilities, intelligence, or effort while attributing negative outcomes to external circumstances. This cognitive distortion helps maintain self-esteem but can also impede objective self-assessment.Theoretical Explanations of Self-Serving BiasTwo primary theories explain the self-serving bias: the cognitive explanation and the motivational explanation.The cognitive...

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

According to George Herbert Mead, as children progress beyond the game stage, they develop a more comprehensive understanding of societal rules and norms. This cognitive and social development enables them to internalize the expectations of the broader community, refining their ability to regulate behavior.Consistent participation in organized activities is crucial in helping children recognize that their actions are not isolated but contribute to a more significant, interconnected group...

Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...
