Resumo(s)
For emergency response teams such as SWAT (special weapons and tactics) or police
tactical teams, team performance comes with life or death consequences. Nevertheless,
research gives little attention to the dynamics particular to teams performing in
extreme, dangerous, and stressful situations. In teams like police tactical teams the
ability to coordinate members’ actions and expertise, while adapting to evolving
circumstances, is paramount. This study examines the combined effects of team
implicit coordination and transactive memory systems on team adaptive behaviors and
performance in a sample of 42 real police tactical teams. Contrary to predictions in the
literature, our findings suggest that team implicit coordination can benefit performance
even for teams performing nonroutine tasks. Moreover, we found that the relationship
between team implicit coordination and team adaptive behaviors is strengthened by
transactive memory systems. In the end, we discuss the implications of these findings
and point new directions for future research.
