Resumen de Leadership and organizational tenure diversity as determinants of project team effectiveness
Frouke M. de Poel, Janka I. Stoker, Karen I. Van der Zee
The present study reveals how leadership effectiveness in project teams is dependent on the level of organizational tenure diversity. Data from 34 project teams showed that transformational leadership is related to organizational commitment, creative behavior, and job satisfaction, but only in teams with high organizational tenure diversity. By contrast, participative leadership has no impact on team innovativeness, team performance, and team conflict in teams with high organizational tenure diversity, yet is beneficial with respect to the same outcomes in teams that are low in organizational tenure diversity. Theoretical and practical implications for leading project teams and future research in this area are discussed.
