Abstract
In this study, we analysed the effects of team leadership style and magnitude of
change on team behavioural interaction patterns (TBIPs) and performance in teams
coping with unexpected task changes. Sixty‐seven 3‐person teams took part in a
computer‐based fire‐fighting simulation task and were randomly assigned to one of
the four conditions resulting from our 2 (leadership style: directive vs. empowering)
× 2 (magnitude of change: high vs. low) longitudinal factorial design. Our results
showed that empowering‐led teams tend to display more TBIPs than directive‐led
teams. Through discontinuous random coefficient growth modelling, we observed
that prechange TBIPs negatively affect teams' transition adaptation. However,
postchange TBIPs were beneficial for teams' reacquisition adaptation. Implications
for theory and practice are discussed.
