New Theoretical Directions in Multiple Team Membership Research: The Employee Experience

This symposium showcases multiple team membership (MTM) employee experiences research that examines critical individual and team-level outcomes (e.g., stress, performance, viability, citizenship behavior, and career-related outcomes) in the following two areas: (a) the experiences of MTM employees across their teams (e.g., teamwork quality, team leadership, team member exchange, identification, transactional attention systems), and (b) the experiences of MTM employees across their various roles (e.g., role ambiguity and variety). Our symposium consists of five papers that extend theory and investigate MTM-related phenomena at the within-individual, individual, and team/project levels of analysis using a variety of theoretical perspectives, research designs, contexts, methodologies, and analytical methods (i.e., archival, field-based, laboratory). We hope to provide a forum to generate new insights, foster discussion, and advance MTM research.
