Abstract

This article tested a moderated mediation process to explain the relationships between diversity-based predictors with team learning via shared leadership. Based on data from 183 members of 27 intraorganizational projects teams embedded in a large Danish company as the permanent organization, we show the varying effects of functional and hierarchical power diversity on shared leadership, respectively moderated by transactive memory systems within project teams and the empowering leadership in the permanent organization. Additionally, the psychological safety within the permanent organization strengthens the positive relationship between shared leadership and team learning within project teams. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
