Book excerpt: Using a dimensional-based approach, in Study 1 I outlined testable propositions that explore how the underlying characteristics of project teams influence their internal processes and performance. The aim of Studies 2 and 3 was to empirically test the multiple team member (MTM) dimension; thus, providing evidence for two largely untested theoretical propositions proposed by O'Leary et al. (2011). The first proposition identified the dimension of MTM in terms of the number of teams individuals are members of and its influence on team outcomes. The second proposition identified the dimension of variety, in terms of task diversity and team variety and its negative influence on team outcomes. The first proposition was tested using laboratory and field research methodologies and focused on the MTM-team performance and satisfaction relationship. Study 2 provided the first known examination of MTM teams along with various processes and their effects on team outcomes in a laboratory setting. The results offered evidence for the predicted main effect as well as for several mediating variables of the MTM-team outcome relationship. The second proposition was tested in Study 3 using a field setting. This study tested a two-level path model with moderated mediation to assess the main effect, the interaction of task and member characteristics and the average number of multiple team memberships, and the moderated mediated effect of team role processes on the MTM-team outcome relationship. The empirical results from this study provided evidence for a curvilinear relationship between the number of MTM teams and team outcomes. Results also furnished evidence for the moderating role of project team and project team member characteristics. The findings presented herein offer critical insights into various factors and processes that influence MTM team effectiveness.
