N = 231; Confidence intervals in bold are significantly different across team cohesion levels. The base category is the quasi-spot contract approach. PMX, path from X (underinvestment in a, overinvestment in b, mutual investment in c) to M (team collective efficacy); PYM, path from M to Y (team performance); PYX, path from X to Y.
