Dissertation title
Temporal Contingencies of the Team Leadership Process: An Integrative Framework
Dissertation Summary
My dissertation develops and empirically tests a temporally contingent theory of team leadership. Drawing on theories of time and assessing their collective impact on teams, I propose when certain team leaders’ and members’ behaviors will be most facilitative of effectiveness at various phases of the performance episode. Using observation methodology, I test my propositions using surgical teams - a context in which temporal, leadership, and teamwork factors are critical for team effectiveness and patient safety.
