Effects of TMT Team Processes and Team Reflexivity on Decision Performance

Abstract

Abstract:

This paper introduces firstly team reflexivity into TMT theory, sorts out and summarizes relevant literatures, puts forward theoretical hypotheses, constructs structural equation modeling, and then studies the effects of TMT team processes, team reflexivity on decision performance by empirically analyzing the sample data of questionnaire. The results show that the internal processes of TMT have significant positive effects on the decision quality and satisfaction, the external processes of TMT also have significant positive effects on both of them, the internal processes of TMT have significant positive effects on the TMT task reflexivity and emotion reflexivity, the external processes of TMT also have significant positive effects on both of them, TMT task reflexivity have significant positive effects on the decision quality and satisfaction, emotion reflexivity also have significant positive effects on both of them. In addition, team reflexivity have partial mediating role between TMT team processes and decision performance.

Key words: top management team (TMT), team processes, team reflexivity, decision performance, structural equation modeling (SEM)
