Abstract

The present study attempts to investigate the mediating role of team monitoring in intra-team trust and team effort relationship. Intra-team trust influences coordination between team members while team monitoring is a process to assess and evaluate team processes and performance. This research analyzes whether team monitoring influences trust-effort relationship in ongoing teams of organizations in Pakistan. A field survey approach was used to test the research hypothesis. Data were collected from a sample of 100 team members and supervisors of 20 ongoing teams in organizations of different sectors. In order to explain the association between variables, the model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS. The findings showed that hypothesized model fit reasonably well based on comparison fit indices. The results show that team monitoring has a significant influence on the relationship between intra-team trust and team effort for teams operational in chosen organizations. The study adds valuable insights to the existing literature on team dynamics by analyzing the aforementioned relationships in South Asian organizational context.
