Resumo:The present study aims to examine in what extent reflexivity mediates the relationship between diversity of temporal cognitions and teamwork effectiveness. Results from 81 teams in consultancy companies in Portugal did not reveal significant results for the mediation analysis. We further investigate the moderating role of diversity beliefs to comprehend its impact on the relationship between diversity of temporal cognitions and reflexivity – moderated mediation. Results from 39 teams in consultancy companies in Portugal disclose that low diversity beliefs moderate the relationship between diversity of temporal cognitions and reflexivity in a way that when teams hold negative diversity beliefs, teams with diversity of temporal cognitions engage more on reflexivity processes. The results for the opposite relationship – teams holding positive diversity beliefs – were not statistically significant.
