Van den Bossche, P., Gijselaers, W., Segers, M., Woltjer, G., & Kirschner, P. (2011). Team learning: building shared mental models. Instructional Science, 39, 283-301. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-010-9128-3

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Regression analyses regressed actual company performance (equity and goodwill) onto two shared mental model indicators in 27 teams; standardized betas ranged from 0.43 to 0.51, all significant, supporting the link between shared cognition and team performance.

"Sharing concepts in the team is linked with both the equity results (Beta = 0.51, p = 0.007) and the goodwill (Beta = 0.50, p = 0.007), as well as the number of shared statements is positively linked with both equity (Beta = 0.43, p = 0.026) and goodwill (Beta = 0.50, p = 0.008) of the company."
