Temporal Team Mental Models:Research Progress and Future Research Prospects
Temporal team mental models delineate the congruity in team members'comprehension of essential temporal components,constituting a pivotal predictor of team effectiveness.Simultaneously,the proposed temporal team mental models enhance comprehension of temporal cognition at the team level and facilitate further investigation into time-related topics within organizations.However,existing research on temporal team mental models faces issues such as inconsistent construct nomenclature and a lack of effective dialogue among existing research findings,heightening the challenge of systematically understanding temporal team mental models and further impeding the continual advancement and innovation within this research domain.This paper delineates the research framework of temporal team mental models from aspects such as conceptual evolution,measurement,predictors,outcomes,and theoretical foundations.Future research can advance the field of temporal team mental models by revealing the emergence process of temporal team mental models,expanding research levels,focusing on the perspective of time attributes,and exploring key predictors,effects,and boundary conditions of temporal team mental models.
