The present study tests a multilevel mediation model concerning the effect of shared leadership on team members' flow experience. Specifically, we investigate the mediating role of teamwork behaviors in the relationships between 2 complementary indicators of shared leadership (i.e., density and centralization) and flow. Based on a multisource approach, we collected data through observation and survey of 111 project teams (521 individuals) made up of university students participating in a project management simulation. The results show that density and centralization have both an additive effect and an interaction effect on teamwork behaviors, such that the relationship between density and teamwork behaviors is stronger when centralization is low. In addition, teamwork behaviors play a mediating role in the relationship between shared leadership and flow. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of promoting team-based shared leadership in organizations to favor the flow experience. (PsycINFO Database Record
本研究检验了一个关于共享领导对团队成员流畅体验影响的多层次中介模型。具体来说，我们调查了团队合作行为在共享领导的 2 个互补指标（即密度和集中化）与流畅体验之间关系中的中介作用。基于多源方法，我们通过对参与项目管理模拟的大学生组成的 111 个项目团队（521 人）的观察和调查收集数据。结果表明，密度和集中化对团队合作行为都有累加效应和交互效应，即当集中化程度较低时，密度与团队合作行为之间的关系更强。此外，团队合作行为在共享领导与流畅体验之间的关系中起中介作用。总体而言，这些发现强调了在组织中促进基于团队的共享领导的重要性，以促进流畅体验。
