Modeling the effect of task interdependence on the relationship between transactive memory systems (TMS) quality and team performance

Task interdependence within teams is critical towards the team's performance. However, there has not been strong support in examining the effect of task interdependence on the relationship between Transactive Memory Systems (TMS) quality and team performance. Using a survey, this research examines the potential effects of the moderating and mediating effects between task interdependence towards team performance. A partial support was found in the mediating effect between task interdependence and team performance. However, a significant negative effect was obtained in the moderating effect between TMS quality and team performance. Both of these findings provide empirical evidence of the possible effects of the task interdependence between TMS quality and team performance. © 2013 IEEE.
