Representational Gaps, Information Processing, and Conflict in Functionally Diverse Teams.
2007
M Cronin Laurie Weingart
Functional diversity in teams, while potentially beneficial, increases the likelihood that individual team members will perceive the teamโs task differently, leading to gaps between teammatesโ interpretations of what is needed for the team to be successful. These representational gaps are likely to create conflict as teammates try to solve what are essentially incompatible problems. Understanding how these general mechanisms work should deepen our understanding of information processing and conflict in diverse teams.
