Teamwork in sport: a theoretical and integrative review (2014, background): “Our discussion in this article on teamwork – in complement to the above findings, as well as those on team building in organizational psychology (see Salas et al., 2008 for a meta-analytic review) – suggests that team-building interventions should focus on more than just improving team cohesion.”
Team Exploratory and Exploitative Learning: Psychological Safety, Task Conflict, and Team Performance (2011, background): “…(e.g., support and trust among members, Gibson & Birkinshaw, 2004; unity of effort, Carmeli, 2008; Lubatkin et al., 2006; level of team training, Salas et al., 2008) of organizational entities, such as teams, play a role in the way they manage and realize performance gains by means of…”
Human–Autonomy Teaming: A Review and Analysis of the Empirical Literature (2020, methodology): “This treatment is consistent with outcomes as multilevel and multidimensional (Salas et al., 2008b).”
Collectivistic Leadership Approaches: Putting the “We” in Leadership Science and Practice (2012, background): “Such interventions can enhance shared mental models and transactive memory systems among members, and can help to foster the cohesive climate that is necessary for individuals to cooperate effectively in collectively leading (Klein et al., 2009; Salas et al., 2008).”
Training and simulation for patient safety (2010, methodology): “Third, simulation technologies have been used for team training, improving function in tension-filled complex situations.(16) The aim of this review is to study the application of simulation-based technologies for the enhancement of healthcare with respect to improvements in patient safety.”
Beyond Team Types and Taxonomies: A Dimensional Scaling Conceptualization for Team Description (2012, background): “Although it might seem that the distinction of students and professionals lines up precisely with the Salas et al. (2008) distinction between ad hoc teams and intact teams (because of the latter’s emphasis on laboratory contexts that are usually staffed with students), this is not the case.”
Antecedents and Outcomes of Informal Learning Behaviors: a Meta-Analysis (2018, background): “…of formal training programs has been well documented through meta-analytic research for both individuals and teams (Colquitt et al., 2000; Salas et al., 2008), for young and old learners (Callahan et al., 2003), for a variety of program types (Arthur et al., 2003), and for various…”

The Development and Empirical Validation of a Multidimensional Measurement Instrument for Team Learning Behaviors (2009, background): “…& Ilgen, 2006; Mathieu, Maynard, Rapp, & Gilson, 2008; Salas et al., 2008), we intend to investigate the team’s general work performance as compared with that of other teams, using a relatively broad measure (De Jong, Van der Vegt, & Molleman, 2007; Kozlowski & Ilgen, 2006; Salas et al., 2008).”
Once upon a time (2016, background): “…linking inputs to outcomes include Bell’s synthesis of surface- and deeplevel compositional variables (Bell, 2007), Burke et al.’s synthesis of studies examining the impact of team leader behavior (Burke et al., 2006), and Salas et al.’s synthesis of research on team training (Salas et al., 2008).”
