Abstract
This study examines how perceived faultline influences team transactive memory system (TMS), and hence team performance. We also proposed the moderating role of team members’ guanxi perception on the relationship between perceived faultline and TMS. Using two-wave longitudinal multi-source data from 87 working teams in a Chinese central government owned corporation, we found that perceived faultline was a negative predictor of TMS and team performance. In addition, guanxi perception acted as a positive moderator, mitigating the negative relationship between perceived faultline and TMS. Further, the moderated mediation analysis of the integrative model revealed that the indirect effect of perceived faultline on team performance via TMS was contingent on team members’ guanxi perception. Our findings highlighted the pivotal role of perceived faultline, TMS and guanxi perception in working teams in Chinese context.
