تبیین علّی انسجام تیمی بر اساس بسندگی مهارت‌های شغلی، ابهام نقش و رهبری مشارکتی: نقش واسطه‌ای اعتماد تیمی

هدف پژوهش حاضر تبیین علّی انسجام تیمی بر اساس بسندگی مهارت­های شغلی، ابهام نقش و رهبری مشارکتی با توجه به نقش واسطه­ای اعتماد تیمی بود. روش پژوهش حاضر، توصیفی از نوع همبستگی از طریق الگویابی معادلات ساختاری (sem) است. نمونه این پژوهش شامل 321 نفر از کارکنان شرکت بهره­برداری، تولید و انتقال آب جنوب شرق خوزستان بود که به روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی ساده انتخاب شدند. جهت جمع­آوری داده­­ها از مقیاس­های استاندارد بسندگی مهارت­های شغلی، ابهام نقش، رهبری مسیر هدف، اعتماد تیمی و انسجام تیمی استفاده شد. ارزیابی الگوی پیشنهادی از طریق الگویابی معادلات ساختاری (sem) و با استفاده از نرم‌افزار‌های amos و spss نسخه 24 انجام گرفت. جهت آزمون اثرات واسطه‌ای در الگوی پیشنهادی نیز از روش بوت‌استراپ استفاده شد. یافته‌ها نشان‌دهنده برازش مطلوب الگوی نهایی با داده‌ها بودند. همچنین نتایج نشان داد بسندگی مهارت­های شغلی و رهبری مشارکتی به­صورت مثبت و ابهام نقش به­صورت منفی بر اعتماد تیمی اثر مستقیم و معنی­داری دارند. بسندگی مهارت­های شغلی و اعتماد تیمی نیز به­صورت مثبت بر انسجام تیمی اثر مستقیم و معنی­داری داشتند. علاوه بر این، نتایج نشان داد که بسندگی مهارت­های شغلی، ابهام نقش و رهبری مشارکتی از طریق نقش واسطه­ای اعتماد تیمی، بر انسجام تیمی اثر غیرمستقیم و معنی­داری دارند.
