The study aims to develop and evaluate a workshop designed to enhance leaders' ability to foster psychological safety within interdisciplinary translational teams.
Purposive sampling recruited 8 senior faculty members from various fields at a large Midwestern University.
Semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom explored challenges and facilitators of psychological safety.
Thematic analysis with deductive and inductive coding identified key themes related to leader mindset, behavior, and team culture.
The study revealed a framework with three layers: leader mindset (values of openness), leader behavior (empowering team members), and team culture (shared values).
Leaders with a positive mindset significantly promote trust and feedback among team members, enhancing psychological safety.
Effective leader behaviors, like modeling and empowering, are crucial for cultivating supportive team environments.
