Teams are a crucial component of modern organizations, with a significant portion of taskwork being completed by teams. Teams research often focuses on emergent states and teams processes, which are central to understanding team effectiveness. However, there are important divides within most primary studies. First, emergent states and team processes are typically captured using team members' self-reports, which are aggregated to the team level, potentially causing inconsistencies between individual and team-level constructs. Second, many studies presume that the team is the primary referent when members evaluate their group, but some scholars argue that important processes occur based on unique interactions among team members rather than the group's shared experience. Third, despite the dynamic nature of emergent states and team processes, much of the existing research is based on cross-sectional studies that fail to capture potential dynamism. These issues often go overlooked in team studies, limiting our understanding of team emergent states and processes. This symposium brings together three papers seeking to address these conceptual divides and provide new insights and avenues for future teams research.
