Reconsidering group cognition: From conceptual confusion to a boundary area between cognitive and socio-cultural perspectives? (2007, methodology): “…but in addition study whether group cognition is related to (a) the successfulness of the group (Carley, 1997; Edelson, 2000; Peterson et al., 2000); (b) the perception of implementation success (Mohammed & Ringseis, 2001), or (c) the performance of the firm (Ensley & Pearce, 2001) (process).”
Metaphor No More: A 15-Year Review of the Team Mental Model Construct (2010, background): “Transactive memory (e.g., Lewis, 2003), group learning (e.g., Edmondson, 1999), and shared strategic cognition (e.g., Ensley & Pearce, 2001) commonly use Likert-type scales to capture content and do not require the measurement of structure.”
Measuring transactive memory systems in the field: scale development and validation. (2003, methodology): “Field researchers have also measured team mental model agreement by using indices such as the coefficient of variation (Ensley & Pearce, 2001) and within-group correlation (rwg; Levesque, Wilson, & Wholey, 2001).”
Entrepreneurial Team Composition Characteristics and New Venture Performance: A Meta–Analysis (2017, unknown): “…and experience (Beckman & Burton, 2008; Hsu, 2007; Vissa & Chacar, 2009), team skill and capability level (e.g., Sullivan & Marvel, 2011; Zhao et al., 2013), and team personality traits (Ensley & Hmieleski, 2005; Ensley & Pearce, 2001; Ensley, Pearson, & Amason, 2002; Souitaris & Maestro, 2010).”
A contextual examination of new venture performance: entrepreneur leadership behavior, top management team heterogeneity, and environmental dynamism (2007, background): “Ensley and Pearce (2001) have argued that the collective vision of new venture top management teams is one of the most important determinants for the survival and growth of startups.”
Mental models in design teams: a valid approach to performance in design collaboration? (2007, background): “Other studies investigated teams operating tasks that allow free communication, such as management teams (Ensley and Pearce 2001 ), long-term student groups (Peterson et al .”
Entrepreneurs as authentic leaders: impact on employees' attitudes (2006, background): “…which has a predominant focus on management succession issues (e.g. Spinelli and Hunt, 2000) and research focused on top management teams (e.g. Ensley and Pearce, 2001), very little indirect and no direct research attention has been given to the founder as a leader affecting the work…”
Strategic Decision Making: The Effects of Cognitive Diversity, Conflict, and Trust on Decision Outcomes (2007, background): “Therefore, the level of relationship conflict present in teams may not be great enough to manifest in negative consequences (Ensley & Pearce, 2001).”
A Cognitive Model of CEO Dismissal: Understanding the Influence of Board Perceptions, Attributions and Efficacy Beliefs (2006, unknown): “This model is consistent with work on strategic change that has shown a link between managerial cognitions and strategic actions (e.g. Barker and Barr, 2002; Ensley and Pearce, 2001; Gioia and Chittipeddi, 1991; Lant et al., 1992; McCormick and Martinko, 2004; Walsh, 1995).”
A Longitudinal Examination of the Relationship Between Team Leadership and Performance (2010, background): “Several empirical studies in the team literature have examined cohesion and conflict as separate constructs (e.g., Ensley & Pearce, 2001; Ensley & Pearson, 2005; Ensley, Pearson, & Amason, 2002; Sullivan & Feltz, 2001).”
