Mediating effects of reflexivity of top management team between team processes and decision performance

The effects of team processes (internal team processes and external team processes) and reflexivity (task reflexivity and emotional reflexivity) of the top management team (TMT) on decision performance (decision quality and decision satisfaction) are becoming more and more critical. However, there are few studies on this topic. In this study, I explored the mediating effects of TMT reflexivity between TMT team processes and decision performance by hierarchical regression analysis and a bootstrap method. Participants were 524 team members from 76 TMTs. The results revealed that TMT team processes had significantly positive effects on TMT reflexivity and decision performance. TMT reflexivity had significantly positive effects on decision performance. TMT reflexivity partially mediated the positive effects of TMT team processes on decision performance. The results extend previous findings on TMT and strategic decisions and clarify the relationships between TMT team processes, TMT reflexivity and decision performance.
