CURRAL, Luís et al. How complexity leadership and cohesion influence team effectiveness. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.4, pp. 243-251. ISSN 1984-6657.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2017.4.13712.

This research tested the hypothesis that enabling leadership behaviors are positively related to the objective and subjective dimensions of teamwork effectiveness. Hypotheses testing was done during a laboratory task in which 40 teams of 5 people each (N = 200) engaged in a simulation task using the pc game SimCity4. The results suggest that enabling leadership and task cohesion are not related to team performance, R2 = .08, MSE = 1.02, F(4, 35) = .79, p = .54; and that enabling leadership is positively related to team viability, mediated by task cohesion, R2 = .71, MSE = 0.31, F(4, 35) = 21.87, p < .001. These findings also suggest that engaging in enabling leadership behaviors promotes team member commitment to a shared goal, which in turn enhances the shared perception that the team has the necessary conditions to keep working together on future assignments.
