A Second-Order Adaptive Network Model for Organizational Learning and Usage of Mental Models for a Team of Match Officials

Abstract

This paper describes a multi-level adaptive network model for mental processes making use of shared mental models in the context of organizational learning in team-related performances. The paper describes the value of using shared mental models to illustrate the concept of organizational learning, and factors that influence team performances by using the analogy of a team of match officials during a game of football and show their behavior in a simulation of the shared mental model. The paper discusses potential elaborations of the different studied concepts, as well as implications of the paper in the domain of teamwork and team performance, and in terms of organizational learning.
