Examining How Psychological Safety Consensus Emerges Over Time

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Although research has provided rich data highlighting the value of team psychological safety, a common call among scholars is the need for longitudinal examinations of this construct to test implicit assumptions about time made in dominant team theories. By analyzing changes in both consensus and the average level of psychological safety over time, we respond to this need and provide insight into emergent state development. Results indicated that team psychological safety climate develops over time through consensus emergence, this process is initiated by early information sharing, and there is a decline in the average level of psychological safety over time.
