Based on a proposed input-process-output model of team goal, leader goal
orientation, team cohesion, and team effectiveness, this study examined the influences of
the leader trait goal orientation on the relationships between team goals and team
cohesion. Results from 73 five-person teams working on an interdependent command
and control simulation game indicated that team learning goal positively relates to team
viability. Social cohesion mediates the effects of a team learning goal on team viability.
In addition, the leaderÂs learning orientation moderates the effect of a team learning goal
on team task cohesion. Results of supplementary analyses are also presented. Theoretical
and practical implications are discussed, as well as possible limitations and directions for
future research.
