The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of team resilience on different facets of effectiveness (team viability and quality of the group experience). Moreover, given the importance of team resilience for the organizational context, it was also our aim to contribute to the study of the conditions that promote team resilience, analyzing the role of transformational leadership. Finally, we examined whether the relationship between transformational leadership and team resilience stimulates positive team outcomes. Ninety teams (445 employees from 40 companies) were surveyed and path analysis was used in the test of the hypotheses. The results showed a positive direct effect of team resilience on both team viability and the quality of the group experience. Moreover, a positive relationship was also identified between transformational leadership and team resilience. Finally, support was found for the mediated effect of team resilience on the relationship between transformational leadership and the dimensions of team effectiveness considered. The findings of this study highlight the role of team resilience as an intervening process between transformational leadership and team effectiveness. Supervisors should promote team resilience, adopting transformational leadership behaviors, in order to contribute to increase team viability and the quality of the group experience.
本研究旨在阐明团队复原力在不同有效性方面（团队活力和团队体验质量）的作用。此外，鉴于团队复原力对组织环境的重要性，我们还旨在分析促进团队复原力的条件，分析变革型领导的作用。最后，我们研究了变革型领导与团队复原力之间的关系是否会激发积极的团队成果。对 90 个团队（来自 40 家公司的 445 名员工）进行了调查，并采用路径分析检验了假设。结果表明，团队复原力对团队活力和团队体验质量均有正向直接影响。此外，还发现变革型领导与团队复原力之间存在正向关系。最后，团队复原力在变革型领导与所考虑的团队有效性维度之间的关系中存在中介效应，这一假设得到了支持。本研究的结果强调了团队复原力作为变革型领导与团队有效性之间的中介过程的作用。主管应采用变革型领导行为，促进团队复原力，以有助于提高团队活力和团队体验质量。
