“Beyond shared perceptions of trust and monitoring in teams: Implications of asymmetry and dissensus”: Correction to De Jong and Dirks (2012)

Reports an error in "Beyond shared perceptions of trust and monitoring in teams: Implications of asymmetry and dissensus" by Bart A. De Jong and Kurt T. Dirks ( Journal of Applied Psychology, 2012[Mar], Vol 97[2], 391-406). The subscript under Table 7 should have stated that the significance tests were one-tailed, just like the tests summarized in Table 6. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2011-29366-001.) Past research has implicitly assumed that only mean levels of trust and monitoring in teams are critical for explaining their interrelations and their relationships with team performance. In this article, the authors argue that it is equally important to consider the dispersion in trust and monitoring that exists within teams. The authors introduce “trust asymmetry” and “monitoring dissensus” as critical dispersion properties of trust and monitoring and hypothesize that these moderate the relationships between mean monitoring, mean trust, and team performance. Data from a cross-lagged panel study and a partially lagged study support the hypotheses. The first study also offered support for an integrative model that includes mean and dispersion levels of both trust and monitoring. Overall, the studies provide a comprehensive and clear picture of how trust and monitoring emerge and function at the team level via mean and dispersion.
