The Safety in Unsafe Teams: A Multilevel Approach to Psychological Safety

Starting with the premise that sub-team psychological safety microclimates are important to team behavior and invisible to current team-level psychological safety concepts and measures, we introduce a multilevel view of psychological safety within work teams. We develop a theory of how whole-team and sub-team psychological safety influence team functioning and development. Using social network models of theoretical teams, we illustrate the presence and influence of distinct psychological safety microclimates within a team, including incongruities between sub- and whole-team safety climates. For example psychologically safe sub-teams can be hidden within unsafe teams, and these sub-teams may be responsible for significant aspects of team learning and performance. We propose that theorizing and measuring multiple levels of psychological safety in work teams, including pockets of (un)safety that contradict intact team dynamics complements Edmondson's intact team psychological safety concept and measures.

Efeitos da orientação para a aprendizagem e da segurança psicológica nos conflitos nas equipas

O objectivo do presente estudo foi o de avaliar o impacto de duas dimensões específicas do clima de equipa (clima de orientação para a aprendizagem e clima de segurança psicológica), enquanto factor contextual de natureza cognitiva, nos diferentes tipos de conflito das equipas. Colocou-se a hipótese de que a relação entre orientação para a aprendizagem e os diferentes tipos de conflito é moderada pelo clima de segurança psicológica. Participaram neste estudo 218 equipas (959 indivíduos) envolvidas numa competição de estratégia e gestão que decorreu ao longo de cinco semanas. Globalmente, os resultados suportaram as hipóteses da influência directa do clima de equipa nos conflitos intragrupais no sentido em que climas mais positivos diminuem os conflitos nas equipas. Os resultados suportaram igualmente a hipótese do papel moderador da segurança psicológica na relação entre orientação para a aprendizagem e o conflito relacional e o conflito de gestão de tempo, sendo que a orientação para a aprendizagem reduz os conflitos quer relacionais quer de gestão de tempo nas situações de elevada segurança psicológica. Estes resultados chamam a atenção para a importância dos climas de equipa nos processos e dinâmicas entre os membros.

Thick as thieves: The effects of ethical orientation and psychological safety on unethical team behavior.

The purpose of this study was to uncover compositional and emergent influences on unethical behavior by teams. Results from 126 teams indicated that the presence of a formalistic orientation within the team was negatively related to collective unethical decisions. Conversely, the presence of a utilitarian orientation within the team was positively related to both unethical decisions and behaviors. Results also indicated that the relationship between utilitarianism and unethical outcomes was moderated by the level of psychological safety within the team, such that teams with high levels of safety were more likely to engage in unethical behaviors. Implications are discussed, as well as potential directions for future research.
