We explore the mediating effects that entrepreneurial team conflict and cohesion have on the relationship between team diversity and performance based on an inputs-mediators-outcomes framework. Using 56 samples from 54 empirical studies, we conducted a meta-analysis of the hypothesized relationships and used meta-analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) to test the mediating models. Our findings reveal that team diversity was related to cognitive and affective conflict, and only affective conflict was associated with objective and subjective venture performance. Furthermore, entrepreneurial team cohesion had positive effects on venture performance. Our unique contributions to the entrepreneurial team literature and future research suggestions are also discussed.

创业团队冲突与凝聚力：元结构方程建模

我们基于投入-中介-结果框架探讨创业团队冲突和凝聚力对团队多样性和绩效之间关系的中介效应。使用来自 54 项实证研究的 56 个样本，我们对假设关系进行了元分析，并使用元分析结构方程模型 (MASEM) 来测试中介模型。我们的研究结果表明，团队多样性与认知和情感冲突有关，只有情感冲突与客观和主观风险绩效相关。此外，创业团队凝聚力对创业绩效有积极影响。我们还讨论了我们对创业团队文献的独特贡献和未来的研究建议。
