Andreas Widmann, Regina H. Mulder. (2025). Change in team learning behaviours in work teams – A systematic review. Educational Research Review 49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2025.100736

q2 · i? · review · r3

Narrative synthesis of longitudinal studies of natural work teams reporting temporal relationships between team learning behaviours and outcomes. The review reports "positive relationships between team reflection and team performance" for efficiency, effectiveness and quality but not innovativeness; no effect sizes are printed for this synthesis statement.

"The studies indicate positive relationships between team reflection and team performance for the three factors efficiency, effectiveness (Buljac & Van Woerkom, 2015) and quality (Bednall et al., 2014) but not for innovativeness (Buljac & Van Woerkom, 2015)."
