To review theoretical and empirical developments in organizational work teams, focusing on the temporal and mediating mechanisms that bridge team inputs and performance outcomes.
Synthesized empirical and theoretical team research conducted across organizational field environments and laboratory settings.
Categorized existing literature along a two-dimensional framework focusing on temporal progression and mediating explanatory mechanisms (affective, behavioral, and cognitive).
Demonstrated that team functioning is driven by affective, behavioral, and cognitive mediating mechanisms rather than simple linear processes.
Showed that teams operate as dynamic, multilevel systems that evolve over time and adapt across varying tasks and organizational contexts.
Identified a conceptual shift from static Input-Process-Output models to cyclical Input-Mediator-Output-Input (IMOI) frameworks that account for emergent states and feedback loops.
