Employee cooperative behavior is crucial for enterprises navigating uncertainty in the rapidly evolving digital era. Drawing on social information processing theory, this study examines the impact of team reflexivity on employee cooperative behavior, with a focus on the mediating role of organizational trust and the moderating role of employee involvement climate.
A cross-level moderated mediation model was developed and tested using survey data from 412 employees across 84 project teams in China. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was employed to analyze the proposed relationships.
The findings reveal that: (1) Team reflexivity significantly enhances employee cooperative behavior. (2) Organizational trust mediates the relationship between team reflexivity and employee cooperative behavior. (3) Employee involvement climate moderates the indirect effect, such that the mediation effect of organizational trust is stronger in teams with a higher level of employee involvement.
These results contribute to the understanding of how team reflexivity fosters cooperation among employees, highlighting the critical role of trust and the influence of organizational climate. The study provides theoretical and practical implications for fostering teamwork and trust in dynamic work environments.
在快速发展的数字时代，员工的合作行为对于企业应对不确定性至关重要。本研究借鉴社会信息处理理论，考察团队反思性对员工合作行为的影响，重点关注组织信任的中介作用和员工参与氛围的调节作用。
构建并检验了一个跨层次的调节中介模型，使用来自中国84个项目团队中412名员工的调查数据。采用分层线性模型（HLM）分析所提出的关系。
研究结果表明：（1）团队反思性显著增强员工合作行为。（2）组织信任在团队反思性与员工合作行为之间起中介作用。（3）员工参与氛围调节间接效应，即组织信任的中介效应在员工参与度较高的团队中更强。
这些结果有助于理解团队反思性如何促进员工之间的合作，凸显了信任的关键作用和组织氛围的影响。该研究为在动态工作环境中促进团队合作和信任提供了理论和实践意义。
