Abstract

This study examined the effect of different communication modalities on the development of transactive memory systems (TMSs) in task-teams. We propose that development of TMSs to meet different expertise and knowledge demands is dependent on communication context and modes. Findings suggest that in task-teams, informal communication context, face-to-face (FTF) and non-face-to-face (non-FTF) communication modes are positively related to the development of TMS. The results also show that the effect of communication context and modes on TMS development is moderated by prior familiarity among team members. Furthermore, TMS is positively related to team performance. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
