## Abstract We examined the effects of organizational district and team contexts on team processes and performance in a longitudinal crossโlevel design. As hypothesized, at the teamโlevel of analysis, interdependence related positively to team performance as partially mediated by processes. Moreove

โฆ Synopsis
Abstract
Researchers have been challenged to specify the processes that quality improvement (QI) practices could be expected to generate and to explain how they might contribute to organizational effectiveness. This research article meets that challenge through a study of 97 teams in the health care field. The authors developed a โQuality Improvement Practices Indexโ and showed that QI practices could be differentiated from traditional teamโlevel variables, and that such practices affect both directly and indirectly (through teamโlevel variables) team effectiveness. Two models were tested using structural equation modelling. It was found that the perceptions of the impact of QI practices on team effectiveness varied depending on who was assessing the team's performanceโmembers of the team or managers who were external to the team but responsible for the team's performance. The authors discuss the implications of these results both for researchers and practitioners. Copyright ยฉ 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
