Enhancing the Effectiveness of Work Groups and Teams (2006, methodology): “With respect to shaping the formation of transactive memory, some research suggests that face-to-face interaction is important for its emergence and that computer-mediated communication presents barriers (Hollingshead, 1998a; Lewis, 2003).”
Knowledge and Performance in Knowledge-Worker Teams: A Longitudinal Study of Transactive Memory Systems (2004, positive): “Transactive Memory Systems (Lewis 2003)5”
Cross-Understanding: Implications for Group Cognition and Performance (2010, background): “When a TMS is operating in a group, members rely on one another to be responsible for learning, communicating, and remembering information about distinct aspects of the group’s task (Lewis, 2003).”
The cognitive underpinnings of effective teamwork: a meta-analysis. (2010, methodology): “Team cognition has been examined in relation to both objective (e.g., Marks et al., 2002; Smith-Jentsch, Mathieu, & Kraiger, 2005) and subjective (e.g., Lewis, 2003; Lim & Klein, 2006) performance measures.”
Job and team design: Toward a more integrative conceptualization of work design (2008, background): “Having a shared representation of a task can improve coordination and helping behaviors (Mathieu, Heffner, Goodwin, Salas, & Cannon-Bowers, 2000), whereas knowing which team members possess unique knowledge and skills can directly influence performance by allowing the team to tap into relevant knowl”
Dynamic Managerial Capabilities (2015, background): “Moreover, well-developed measures and scales exist for determining the presence of a TMS within a team (Lewis, 2003).”
Unlocking Founding Team Prior Shared Experience: A Transactive Memory System Perspective (2012, methodology): “Transactive Memory System was measured using the established scale along three key dimensions: specialization, credibility, and coordination with five items for each dimension (Lewis, 2003).”
Knowledge networks in new product development projects: A transactive memory perspective (2005, background): “Transactive memory system (adapted from Lewis [42]) A.1.1.”
Transactive memory in organizational groups: the effects of content, consensus, specialization, and accuracy on group performance. (2003, methodology): “Lewis (2003) conducted the most significant field study of group transactive memory systems.”
Developing and Validating Field Measurement Scales for Absorptive Capacity and Experienced Community of Practice (2009, background): “1035 Educational and Psychological Measurement Volume 69 Number 6 December 2009 1035-1058 © 2009 Sage Publications 10.1177/0013164409344494 http://epm.sagepub.com hosted at http://online.sagepub.com”
The Impact of Gender Diversity on the Performance of Business Teams: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2011, positive): “Questions related to processes within the team translate into measures of group potency (De Jong et al., 2005), decision making (Oliver and Anderson, 1994), mutual monitoring (Langfred, 2004) and coordination, credibility and specialization (Lewis, 2003).”
Does conflict shatter trust or does trust obliterate conflict? Revisiting the relationships between team diversity, conflict, and trust (2010, methodology): “Trust was assessed using five items selected from a questionnaire developed by Lewis (2003) to evaluate transactive memory in teams (e.g., “I was comfortable accepting procedural suggestions from other team members” and “I was confident relying on the information that other team members brought to…”
Transactive Memory Systems, Learning, and Learning Transfer (2005, background): “1995), items measuring the extent to which a training TMS had indeed developed (Lewis 2003), and a fillin-the-blank question asking members to describe each member’s expertise.”
First, get your feet wet: The effects of learning from direct and indirect experience on team creativity (2010, methodology): “Transactive memory was measured using the scale developed by Lewis (2003).”
Team Implicit Coordination Processes: A Team Knowledge–Based Approach (2008, background): “, a component of a transactive memory system) that enables them to successfully integrate their behaviors during collective undertaking (e.g., Austin, 2003; Faraj & Sproull, 2000; Lewis, 2003; Rau, 2005).”
