| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore the relation between social transmission
of overconfidence and team performance. We explored the moderating effect of
analytical and intuitive cognitive styles and situational awareness on social
transmission of overconfidence on team performance to gain a comprehensive
understanding of this relation. An experimental study was conducted, and a sample
of 567 participants provided the basis for this study. The results revealed, as
expected, that social transmission of overconfidence will be negatively associated
with team performance. We found no support for either of our moderating
hypotheses, however, we did find significant direct effects of two of our moderating
variables, which were analytical style and situational awareness on team
performance. The implications for theory and practice, as well as the direction of
future research, are discussed.
