Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Collective efficacy (rho = .45, 20% variance) and psychological safety (rho = .41, 17%) are the strongest attitudinal predictors of team performance; trust (rho = .30, 9%) and cohesion (rho = .39, 15%) also contribute. → Robert A. Sottilare 2018

q3 · i? · quant-synthesis · r2
Meta-analytic synthesis (Table 3) of attitudinal contributions to team performance from the same ~300-study database; overall attitudinal rho = .44 (19% variance), with collective efficacy rho = .45. The article reports "collective efficacy and psychological safety explain the most variance in team performance, 20% and 17% respectively."
"Results indicate that collective efficacy and psychological safety explain the most variance in team performance, 20% and 17% respectively. This is followed by trust and cohesion which also explain significant amounts of variance (9% and 15% respectively)."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Safety — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
Related Claims¶
- Team behaviors explain up to 42% of the variance in team performance, with action processes and organizational citizenship behaviors the strongest contributors
- Team cognition predicts team performance: transactive memory systems (20%) and shared mental models (10%) explain significant variance, and situational awareness shows the largest relationship but rests on a small sample
- Meta-analysis finds task-focused leadership accounts for about 10% of variance in team effectiveness perceptions and empowerment behaviors nearly 30% of variance in team learning — related
