Objective:To explore the relationship between swift trust and team performance within emergency medical rescue temporary teams.It also investigates the role of transactive memory systems and team cohesion levels in mediating the connection be-tween swift trust and the performance of these temporary teams.The findings aim to provide insights for enhancing the efficacy of e-mergency medical rescue temporary teams.Methods:A total of 267 temporary teams,comprised of 1360 medical personnel from Tianjin dispatched to support Shanghai in responding to public health emergencies,were examined.Utilizing methods including Spearman's rank correlation analysis,mediating effect testing,and moderating effect testing,the levels of swift trust,transactive memory systems,team cohesion,and team performance were assessed.Results:Significant positive correlations were observed among swift trust,transactive memory systems,team cohesion,and the performance of emergency medical rescue temporary teams(P<0.01).The transactive memory system exhibited a mediating role in predicting the impact of swift trust on the performance of e-mergency medical rescue temporary teams,with an effect value of 0.04,accounting for 44%of the total effect.Furthermore,the in-fluence of swift trust on the performance of temporary teams,mediated by the transactive memory system,was positively moderated by team cohesion in the latter half of the pathway(B=0.409,t=5.033,P<0.001).Conclusion:Swift trust serves as both a direct and indirect predictor of emergency medical rescue team performance through the transactive memory system.Additionally,team co-hesion moderates the latter part of the pathway through which swift trust impacts the performance of emergency medical rescue tem-porary teams.Therefore,to enhance team performance,temporary emergency medical rescue teams should consider the level of team cohesion and work to improve team members'swift trust and transactive memory levels.
