  While coordination is assumed to contribute to distributed self-managing work team performance, our knowledge about the factors influencing coordination in such team settings is limited. In the present study, we investigate the moderating roles of initiated and received task interdependence on the relationship between self-management and coordination perceptions in distributed teams that rely on electronic communication tools to interact. A field survey study of 110 employees in 40 distributed teams demonstrated that when there are high levels of initiated task interdependence and low levels of received task interdependence, team self-management is associated with stronger perceived coordination in distributed teams. Based on these results, we discuss theoretical and practical implications for distributed self-managing teams.

  While the use of distributed teams enabled by digital technologies is burgeoning in contemporary organizations, leaders of distributed teams face different challenges than those of co-located teams. Our knowledge about how these differences play out, however, is not yet fully developed. To address this, the present study investigates how transformational leaders may develop high-quality leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships in distributed teams. Based on two field studies of distributed teams in three organizations, the present study examined how the joint effect of electronic dependence and team task interdependence may influence the relationship between transformational leadership and LMX quality. Across both studies, results from three-way interaction analyses demonstrated that transformational leadership related negatively to LMX quality when electronic dependence and task interdependence were both high. Based on the results, we discuss theoretical and practical implications for leaders with a relationship-based approach in distributed teams.

  Medarbeideres engasjement på jobb ansees som en nøkkelfaktor for bedrifters ytelse og prestasjoner. Gallup-undersøkelser viser imidlertid at urovekkende få medarbeidere opplever aktivt engasjement i sitt arbeid (Crabtree, 2013). Medarbeiderengasjement påvirkes av lederes kommunikasjon, der ikke bare hva, men også hvordan ledere kommuniserer spiller inn. Likevel mangler det empirisk forskning på forholdet mellom lederes kommunikasjonsferdigheter og medarbeiderengasjement, samt hvilken rolle kommunikasjonstrening spiller i dette forholdet. Denne studien undersøker derfor hvordan kommunikasjonstrening for ledere kan relateres til lederes kommunikasjonsytelse og medarbeiderengasjement. Studien benytter data samlet inn i perioden 2013-2015 blant ansatte i DNB. I denne perioden deltok 138 av selskapets ledere i et kommunikasjonstreningsprogram i regi av ZYNK Communication and Leadership AS. Resultatene fra undersøkelsen viste en sammenheng mellom kommunikasjonsytelse etter kommunikasjonstrening og nivået av medarbeiderengasjement blant ansatte. Dette indikerer at bedrifter kan dra nytte av å tilby sine ledere å utvikle sine kommunikasjonsferdigheter for økt medarbeiderengasjement.
