Assessing decision quality and team performance: perspectives of knowledge internalization and resource adequacy

Drawing upon resource-based view and social cognitive theory, this work develops a model that validates the formation of team decision quality and team performance. The model is empirically tested with data obtained from IT professionals across MIS work teams from Taiwan's banking and insurance industry. The statistical results reveal that team performance is indirectly related to collective efficacy and participatory sense making via the full mediation of team decision quality, while collective efficacy and participatory sense making are directly related to knowledge internalization and resource adequacy. At the same time, the effect of participatory sense making on collective decision quality is negatively moderated by team hypercompetition. Finally, managerial implications and limitations based on the empirical findings are provided.
