We develop a theory of team adaptation that centers on team knowledge structures and coordination processes. Specifically, we explain that when a team’s task changes, there may be a disruption in the extent to which their team mental model (TMM) fits the current situation. Whether this is the case is likely to depend on team compositional factors, emergent states, and structural characteristics of the team. When there is a lack of correspondence between the TMM and the situation, this then requires a shift in the extent to which the team uses implicit or explicit coordination processes. We also explain that the team performance phase matters, such that during action phases, a prevalence of implicit coordination relative to explicit coordination results in greater effectiveness; during a transition phase, the opposite is likely. In this way, we address central questions in the field: what types of task changes require team adaptive response, what happens during the adaptation process, and how this influences team effectiveness over time.

通过适应来提高团队效率：团队知识以及隐式和显式的协调

我们开发了一种以团队知识结构和协调过程为中心的团队适应理论。具体来说，我们解释说，当团队的任务发生变化时，其团队心理模型（TMM）适应当前情况的程度可能会受到干扰。是否如此可能取决于团队组成因素，紧急状态和团队的结构特征。当TMM与情况之间缺乏对应关系时，这需要更改团队使用隐式或显式协调过程的程度。我们还解释说，团队绩效阶段很重要，例如在行动阶段，相对于显式协调而言，隐式协调的普遍性会带来更大的有效性；在过渡阶段，情况可能恰恰相反。通过这种方式，
