“…Notably, in simple words the dominant construct and contribution in this study is leadership skills and multicultural teams. Their moderating role between functional process interdependence and hierarchical goal accomplishment has been neglected in previous literature, especially in the study of (Rico, Hinsz, Davison, & Salas, 2016) [25]. Thus, we propose the proposition 1b and 2b i.e.…”

Teams are increasingly engaged in networked interaction across teams and organizational boundaries in order to achieve complex, lower order and higher order goals. Considering the fact that the goals accomplishment is the basic necessity of organizations, this study aims at exploring the accomplishment of goal levels in multi team systems (MTSs). There exists an absence of theoretical models focused on systems composed of such teams. This study therefore, proposes a predictive model to improve understanding in this regard. It has been suggested that the higher order goals are more effective to accomplish under sequential and reciprocal functional process inter dependencies. Conversely, the lower order goals are more effective to accomplish under intensive functional process inter dependency. However, this goal achievement requires facilitators to make it more effective because of which moderators such as leadership skills and multicultural teams are proposed within the suggested framework.

“…For leaders to manage multiteam systems effectively, several leadership strategy actions should be considered. They include; coordination (establishing roles and responsibilities) (De Vries et al, 2016), mindful teaming (Weaver, 2016), planning (Lanaj et al, 2013), learning processes (Sessa, London and Wanamaker, 2018), goal alignment (prioritisation), boundary spanning (Rico et al, 2018), inclusivity, and diagnosing context (analysing the situation) (Kutz, 2008). Davison et al (2012) propose the concept of the leadership of an integration team as a vertical coordination mechanism in a multiteam system.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore how integration teams can build trusting relationships in component teams to enhance their leadership capability within multiteam systems to achieve common superordinate goals. The study investigates how an integration team diagnoses contextual dynamics to enhance understanding of goals in component teams and spans boundaries to create trusting relationships. Design/methodology/approach The proposed model was tested by surveying 396 respondents nested within component teams working within five South African manufacturing companies. Structural Equation Modeling was used to analyse the data. Findings The study reveals that by diagnosing the contextual dynamics within a multiteam system and through boundary spanning, an integration team builds trusting relationships, which will, ultimately, enable teams to achieve common superordinate goals. Practical implications This study offers organisations insights into how multiple component teams of different functional disciplines can work effectively towards achieving an overall or common superordinate goal. It offers insights on how to mitigate misalignment challenges by implementing an integration team within the multiteam system context. Originality/value Research participants were employees within a manufacturing context, which sets this study apart from many previous ones conducted in a simulated environment within a military context. The study investigates building trusting relationships among multiple component teams within a multiteam system through the implementation of an integration team, which has not been specifically addressed in previous studies.

Mind the (identification) gap: Foci in multiteam systems and their impact on innovative work behaviours

The paper presents a longitudinal exploration of identification with teams and multiteam systems (MTSs) in an organizational context that started using MTSs. Data were collected in five waves during the first 2 years in which the organization started the implementation of MTSs in order to aggregate teams in value streams as organizational units. The results show that there is a clear and distinct gap between team and MTS identification. This gap is greater in larger MTSs than smaller MTSs. This gap decreases in time mostly due to a rise in MTS identification in combination with a stable team identification across time. Additionally, our research showed that MTS identification is hindered when negative relations are present in the MTS. Finally, we show that identification with the team fosters innovative team performance and the identification with MTS moderates this positive association in a compensatory manner. The findings show important implications for the management of MTSs in modern organizations.
