Information sharing and team performance: A meta-analysis
72 independent studies, 4,795 groups, 17,279 individuals. Information sharing predicted team performance, cohesion, decision satisfaction and knowledge integration, and the relationship held positively across all levels of every moderator identified. Raised sharing: task demonstrability, discussion structure, cooperation. Reduced it: information distribution, informational interdependence, member heterogeneity. Stated scope: teams, and information sharing as a team process. Author order at the item record: Mesmer-Magnus first, DeChurch second
