Team boundary work and team workload demands: Their interactive effect on team vigor and team effectiveness

Drawing from team-level job demands-resources theory, we hypothesize that team workload demands moderate the positive link between boundary work (i.e., spanning and buffering) effectiveness innovation performance), such is more beneficial for when teams face higher demands. Furthermore, predict this interaction occurs through increased vigor, where vigor defined as an affective emergent state characterized by valences high activation levels experienced members. We largely find support our model across two field studies: a cross-sectional survey using three independent data sources (89 automotive research development teams, including 724 members, 89 leaders 18 managers) time-lagged (139 working in Chinese utility company, 640 members 139 leaders). Our article contributes to broadening understanding of how associated with greater effectiveness.
