Previous research has established the role of positive emotional cultures such as companionate love and joy in predicting team performance. Building on this work, the present study analyzes the role of positive emotional culture variables as predictors of resilient performance by examining patterns of objective team performance in U.S. Army tank crews over time. We also broaden the emotional culture domain by investigating an action-oriented positive emotional culture of optimism and a negative emotional culture of anger. During a high-stakes international military training exercise, 55 U.S. Army tank crews (N = 175) completed a pre-qualification performance event, a final qualification performance event, and surveys at baseline and after both events. The positive emotional culture of optimism predicted a pattern of resilient performance defined as a rebound from poor pre-qualification performance. Emotional cultures of joy and optimism also directly predicted final performance, but neither the emotional culture of companionate love, nor the emotional culture of anger was a significant predictor. Results demonstrate the distinct nature of each of these emotional culture variables, and show that these variables differ from group trait affectivity and cohesion. Teams with a strong emotional culture of optimism were better positioned to rebound in the face of poor performance, suggesting that organizations that promote an optimistic culture develop more resilient teams.

先前的研究已经确立了积极情感文化（如伴侣之爱和喜悦）在预测团队绩效方面的作用。在此基础上，本研究通过考察美国陆军坦克部队在一段时间内的客观团队绩效模式，分析了积极情感文化变量作为弹性绩效预测指标的作用。我们还通过研究乐观的积极情感文化和愤怒的消极情感文化来拓宽情感文化领域。在一次高风险的国际军事训练演习中，55 名美国陆军坦克部队（N=175）完成了一次资格预审表现事件、一次最终资格表现事件以及基线和两次事件后的调查。乐观的积极情感文化预测了一种弹性绩效模式，即从较差的资格预审表现中反弹。欢乐和乐观的积极情感文化也直接预测了最终表现，但伴侣之爱的情感文化和愤怒的情感文化都不是显著的预测指标。研究结果表明，这些情感文化变量具有明显的不同性质，并且表明这些变量与群体特质情感和凝聚力不同。具有强烈乐观情感文化的团队在面对表现不佳时更有能力反弹，这表明，提倡乐观文化的组织能够培养更具弹性的团队。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
