Reaping the benefits of task conflict in teams: The critical role of team psychological safety climate.

Language learning is a complex phenomenon that is the outcome of an interplay of numerous inter/intra-personal variables. Out of these factors, emotions play a critical role in the whole process of learning. Research approves that positive emotions lead to positive outcomes. This is only obtainable in a positive classroom culture where students feel psychologically safe. If so, they actively engage in the classroom activities for a longer period. However, the macro-effect of classroom culture in EFL/ESL contexts has been limitedly explored. Against this shortcoming, the present article provides a brief account of the definition and conceptualization of classroom culture and its impact on two learner psychology variables (i.e., psychological safety, engagement). Moreover, the dimensions and factors influencing these variables are discussed. Finally, the study offers some implications for different stakeholders in EFL/ESL contexts and enumerates a number of research gaps and future directions for future scholars in this line of inquiry.

Practical Implications

The present research examined the possibility that mild task conflict and relationship conflict can serve as antecedents of psychological safety climate of newly formed teams and in turn influence team effectiveness in creative performance. Specifically, we suggest that mild task conflict is positively related to psychological safety, while relationship conflict is negatively related. Furthermore, psychological safety would mediate the relationships of mild task conflict and relationship conflict to creative team performance and team attachment. This proposed model was tested using a sample of 194 participants in a total of 35 teams surveyed at 2 time periods over about 4 months. The data analysis provides evidence to support our proposed model. The results indicate that mild task conflict and relationship conflict are critical team processes to influence emergence of team psychological safety climate which promotes team effectiveness in creative task performance. Finally, theoretical and practical implications, limitation and suggestion for future research are discussed.

Research Findings

The study of organizational climate has had a long history that in many ways mirrors the development of the fields of organizational psychology and organizational behavior, and demonstrates the critical role of the environment in individual and organizational effectiveness. High levels of interest in organizational climate, largely coming from researchers in psychology, contributed to the initial rise and early progress in our understanding of the construct in the late 1960s through the 1970s. A variety of concerns related to the definition and measurement of climate, along with the rise in interest in climate’s sibling construct of organizational culture, resulted in waning interest through the 1980s and much of the 1990s. However, with increasing sophistication in and understanding of multilevel theory and measurement in the late 1990s through the 2000s came a rebirth of interest in climate, with a particular emphasis on focused climates (e.g., safety climate or service climate) that continues to this day. This bibliography provides an overview of research on organizational climate, including climate measurement, the most common types of climate that are found in the research literature, and the major research findings on organizational climate.

Significant Direct Effect

This study aims to examine the effect of charismatic leadership on the psychological safety climate and tacit knowledge sharing. This study also investigates the central role of psychological safety climate as a mediating variable between charismatic leadership and tacit knowledge sharing. This study adopted a simple random sampling method with 61 samples of employees from five of MSME companies in Banten. With the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software, the results of this study indicate that charismatic leadership has a significant direct influence on the psychological safety climate and tacit knowledge sharing. Likewise, the psychological safety climate has a significant direct effect on tacit knowledge sharing. This study also found evidence that charismatic leadership has a significant indirect effect on tacit knowledge sharing through mediating the psychological safety climate. Thus, the psychological safety climate acts as a partial mediator in this research model.
